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

In another post highlighting Pulisic’s accomplishments, one of which was his affair with Sweeney, Pulisic wrote: “Fake news guys, let’s stop with this stupid rumor.”
Sweeney, 28, is just a year and six days older than Pulisic, 27, 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 U.S. Women’s Open. She has primarily competed on the women’s Epson Tour, but not since 2024.

Sweeney, meanwhile, has been linked to music executive Scooter Braun, who has worked with Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.
Pulisic will wear the Stars and Stripes uniform 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.
This will be Pulisic’s second appearance at the World Cup, having also played in 2022 in Qatar. This team qualified for 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 the qualifiers.
The USMNT hasn’t 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. They returned to the round of 16 three years ago but were unable to advance out of the group stage of the Copa América at home last year.
