Overview
- Photos published Thursday showed Sweeney and Braun kissing and hugging on a gondola in Venice and later holding hands while walking the city.
- Sweeney is in Venice as a global ambassador for Armani Beauty and has been appearing on red carpets and at the brand's dinner at the festival.
- Before the trip, Sweeney spent time with Braun's three children in Los Angeles, a step outlets described as a major development in the couple's relationship.
- Coverage highlights Sweeney's multiple white looks during the festival and a custom necklace with the initials "SB," which outlets framed as a visible tribute to Braun.
- Commentary from a body-language expert noted Braun appeared less at ease in the spotlight than Sweeney, and reporting mixes paparazzi photos with sourced background that has previously described the pair as 'serious.'
