Sydney Sweeney is a family girl at her core. Even as her career blasted off after her breakout role in Euphoria, one thing stayed the same: her love for home. Through the glitz and glam of Hollywood, she has always kept her family close. And among her nearest and dearest family members is her brother, Trent Sweeney, who is also her biggest cheerleader. While he might not be as famous as his sister, the younger Sweeney has started to make some noise of his own, making it high time to take a closer look at his journey.

With that, here is everything you need to know about Sydney Sweeney's brother and the strides Trent Sweeney has made in Hollywood so far.

Trent Sweeney had his foot in the acting world from a young age. His IMDb page lists a handful of minor acting roles in films and some forays into directing. He has also tried assistant directing on Drifting. Despite so many credits, he never fully committed to becoming an actor and soon found himself drawn to a new direction in his career. 

In April 2020, Sydney Sweeney took to Instagram to share a carousel of nostalgic photos as a farewell to her brother, who was preparing for military training. With a series of throwback photos, she captioned the post, "My little bro leaves for basic training tomorrow." Trent Sweeney later confirmed on Instagram in August 2020 that he had successfully completed his training and officially joined the United States Air Force. While he regularly shares personal updates on social media, his dating life is still private. Nonetheless, Trent and Sydney Sweeney have consistently showcased their strong sibling bond.

Following Sweeney’s parents’ separation, her friendship with her brother grew even stronger. 

Sydney and Trent Sweeney, like countless other siblings, find joy in light-hearted pranks, frequently pulling tricks on each other and celebrating important occasions together. Their connection is unbreakable, and the Euphoria star is always ready to play the mama bear to the younger one. Likewise, Trent Sweeney is fiercely protective of the actress and has even promised to stand up to anyone who dared to make his sister cry, he shared in a tweet from 2021. 

The younger sibling has consistently been a supportive brother throughout Sweeney's acting journey. He frequently celebrates her accomplishments on social media and sometimes accompanies her to events, such as the Everything Sucks! premiere in 2018. In 2019, Trent Sweeney cheered on his sister's Screen Actors Guild nomination for her role in The Handmaid's Tale. While the siblings may have chosen different tracks in their careers, they never lose sight of their shared roots. 

Before swapping movie sets for military drills, Trent Sweeney—yes, Sydney Sweeney’s little brother—had a short but entertaining run in the acting game. He starred alongside Sydney Sweeney in the 2009 cult zombie comedy ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction, which even made a surprise comeback on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Though their roles did not quite set Hollywood on fire back then, the internet seems to be making up for lost time.

Some of his other noteworthy works include The Opium Eater, Norman, The Playful Coach, Generation Rx, and A Thousand Years of Good Prayers. But Hollywood was just a phase. As it happens, he reportedly had a stronger interest in a streaming platform.

Trent Sweeney, who went by the Twitch handle PeanutButterPaul, streamed a variety of games whenever he was not working or off exploring. In 2019, he humorously roped in his sister, Sydney Sweeney, for a shoutout by texting her a pre-written promo script.

Sweeney played along, and he shared the exchange with the caption, “You heard her 😎.” Outside of gaming, Trent Sweeney’s social media featured snapshots of his culinary experiments, travel adventures, and plenty of adorable moments with his dogs.

Trent Sweeney’s Instagram could easily double as a dog fan page, starring his furry sidekicks Rango and Kovu. His sister, Sydney Sweeney, is just as obsessed, frequently featuring her pup, Tank. Looks like dog lovers run in the family—and apparently, in the Air Force too.

In 2019, Trent Sweeney posted a hilarious screenshot of what looked like their dogs on a FaceTime call, joking about “business opportunities,” to which Sydney Sweeney fired back, “more like ur dog is saying how she’s going to eat my dog.” In a bittersweet 2023 post, Trent Sweeney said goodbye to his beloved Bree, with the caption "Better catch me some squirrels in doggy heaven," bidding farewell to his dog.
