Sydney Sweeney has offered a rare and heartfelt insight into her family life by revealing that her younger brother has been deployed overseas. The “Euphoria” star shared a photo of her brother, Trent, dressed in military uniform during a video call, highlighting how much those moments mean to her while he is away.
“Receiving calls from my brother always brightens my day when he’s deployed,” she wrote, accompanying the post with a message of appreciation for all military personnel serving abroad. She added, “Thinking of all our boys and girls overseas and sending my love. Thank you for your service.”
Trent Sweeney, 25, serves in the US Air Force and was promoted to staff sergeant in August 2025. However, the exact location of his deployment and whether it relates to ongoing geopolitical tensions has not been disclosed.
This revelation marks a more intimate moment for the actress, who seldom discusses her family publicly, providing fans with a glimpse of her quieter personal side amid her high-profile career. The update also comes as Sweeney continues to face public scrutiny beyond her acting roles.
Recently, she has encountered criticism over perceived political messaging, especially following a denim campaign that sparked backlash online and led to her being dubbed “MAGA Barbie” by some detractors. In response, Sweeney has rejected this label, emphasizing that she does not consider herself a political figure.
“I’ve always been here to create art,” she stated in a recent interview. “That’s not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of.”
