Christian Pulisic is not dating Sydney Sweeney and he wants everyone to know it.
The US men’s national team superstar has been rumored to be dating the famous actress, but he put those rumors to bed earlier this week.
“Please stop the made up stories about my personal life. Need to hold sources accountable it can affect people’s lives,” Pulisic wrote on his Instagram story earlier this week.

In another post highlighting Pulisic’s achievements, one of which was his reported fling with Sweeney, Pulisic wrote: “Fake news, let’s stop the silly rumor.”
Sweeney, 28, is just a year and six days older than the 27-year-old Pulisic, who was born in 1998 – both were born in mid-September.
But Pulisic has been dating golfer Alexa Melton since at least the summer of 2024. Melton played college golf at USC and competed in the 2024 US Women’s Open. She has mostly competed on the women’s Epson Tour, but not since 2024.

Sweeney, meanwhile, has been linked with music manager Scooter Braun, who has worked with Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.
Pulisic will suit up for the Stars and Stripes this summer at the 2026 World Cup, which will be played across North America. The final will take place on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, home of the New York Giants and Jets.
It will be Pulisic’s second appearance in the World Cup, as he also played in 2022 in Qatar. That team advanced to the knockout stage, but was eliminated by the Netherlands, who lost to eventual champions Argentina in the round of 16.
The United States is the highest-ranked team in its group this summer, joining Australia (26th), Paraguay (39th) and a team to be determined in a playoff.
The USMNT has not had much success in the World Cup. The team reached the Round of 16 in 2010 and 2014, but failed to qualify for the tournament in 2018. It returned to the Round of 16 three years ago, but failed to advance out of the Copa América group stage at home last year.
