The U.S. Men's National Team captain pushed back on rumors linking him to actress Sydney Sweeney after speculation picked up online following her reported breakup in 2025.
Christian Pulisic Sends a Direct Message Concerning the Sydney Sweeney Rumors
"Please stop with the made up stories about my personal life," Pulisic wrote on Instagram. "Need to hold sources accountable. It can affect people's lives."
Per PEOPLE, he doubled down in the comments of another post, calling the reports "fake news" and urging people to stop spreading what he described as baseless claims.
The rumors appear to have started on social media and gained traction after being picked up by an Italian gossip outlet. There has been no credible reporting connecting the two.
The Overlooked Context Around the Sydney Sweeney Rumors
Pulisic has reportedly been in a relationship with fellow athlete Alexa Melton since 2024. Sweeney, meanwhile, has been linked to Scooter Braun, with reports describing their relationship as serious.
That makes the speculation even thinner.
Pulisic's response was less about the rumor itself and more about how quickly it spread. In an environment where social media can amplify unverified claims, he made it clear where he stands.
The story isn't complicated: He says it's not true.
