All About Sydney Sweeney's Brother Trent Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney's brother is a Twitch streamer who has served in the United States Air Force

Sydney Sweeney has built a big fanbase with her roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, but the actress’s biggest supporter just might be her younger brother, Trent Sweeney.

He has promoted tons of her projects on his Instagram, including her comedy-drama series Everything Sucks!. When Variety announced in 2018 that Netflix had canceled the show after one season, Trent posted a photo on Instagram showing that he wrote "renew everything sucks" on a wall at Gonzaga University, where he attended college. Sydney wrote in the comments, "brother goals."

Before Sydney's rise to fame, the Sweeney siblings were raised in a small, lakeside town on the Washington-Idaho border by their parents, Lisa Sweeney, who worked as a criminal defense attorney, and Steven Sweeney, who worked in hospitality.

Even though Sydney's life in Hollywood is a far cry from her rural roots, she told Women's Health in 2023 that her strong family bonds are what she treasures most.

"I love my family, and I love where I came from,” the Anyone But You actress said. “Anything my family needs, I’m always there for them."

Here is everything to know about Sydney Sweeney's brother, Trent Sweeney.

They grew up outside of Spokane, Washington

Lisa and Steven raised both of their children outside of Spokane, Washington, near the Idaho border.

According to a February 2020 interview with The Spokesman-Review, Sydney said that the family spent much of her childhood in the South Hill neighborhood and at their lake house.

Later that year, Sydney discussed her relationship with Trent with TooFab. When asked if she could relate to the sibling rivalry displayed in her 2020 horror film Nocturne, she answered, "Not so much the competitive side, but I roughed him up and tried to push him to do more."

They moved to Los Angeles for Sydney's career

After Sydney convinced her parents to let her pursue acting, the family moved to L.A. when she was around 13 years old.

The actress told The Hollywood Reporter in July 2022 that money had always been limited, so the move from Spokane to L.A. was a financial strain. Sydney said that the family lived in a hotel for a while, where she and her mom shared a bed and her dad and Trent shared a couch.

"My mom, my dad, my brother and I were in a regular one-bedroom hotel room for nine months,” she told C Magazine in 2022. “I was 16 — not the year when you want to be living in a hotel, sharing a bed with your mom.”

Despite the strain, Sydney would soon go on to elevate her guest spots on shows like 90210 to starring roles in Everything Sucks! and Euphoria.

He's in the Air Force

Trent had a few minor acting gigs when he was a kid, but he ultimately decided to pursue a different career path.

In April 2020, Sydney posted a carousel of throwback photos as a tribute to Trent, who was leaving for military training at the time. She captioned the images, "My little bro leaves for basic training tomorrow. wishing you luck bud ❤️ when the going gets tough just remember your sister is tougher than you."

Trent announced on Instagram in August 2020 that he had completed his training and was officially in the United States Air Force.

He's a Twitch streamer

According to his Instagram bio, Trent is a Twitch streamer who goes by the username PeanutButterPaul. His profile on the gaming platform says that he plays "random games" and is often streaming if he's "not working or out of town."

In 2019, he posted a screenshot of a text exchange he had with Sydney in which he asked her to shout out his channel. She asked him to tell her what to say, and he replied with a simple script. Trent captioned the post: "You heard her 😎."

Outside of gaming, he likes to post photos of his cooking, travels and time spent with his dogs.

He posted a controversial picture for his mom's birthday

In August 2022, Sydney threw a surprise hoedown in Idaho for Lisa's 60th birthday. Both she and Trent were met with criticism after posting photos from the event on Instagram, where a few attendees were seen wearing red hats that looked similar to former President Donald Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again."

"Yee haw 🤠, happy 60th birthday mom @lisamuddsweeney!" Trent captioned his slideshow of photos from the party, adding, "(The hats say 'Make Sixty Great Again' btw)."

The actress defended her family on X (formerly Twitter), writing, "You guys this is wild. An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention."

He loves dogs

If there's one constant on Trent's Instagram, it's his dogs, including Rango and Kovu. Sydney also posts about her dog Tank and the siblings bond over their love for their puppies.

"My dogs just discussing business opportunities with @sydney_sweeney ‘s dog Tank," Trent captioned an August 2019 Instagram post of a screenshot that made it look like the two dogs were on a FaceTime call together. Sydney commented, "more like ur dog is saying how she’s going to eat my dog."

In August 2023, Trent shared that his dog Bree had died. "I’ll miss you girl. Better catch me some squirrels in doggy heaven," he wrote in the caption.

They like to laugh with each other

Like a lot of sibling relationships, Sydney and Trent enjoy making each other laugh with silly pranks.

In December 2017, Trent posted an Instagram video of him participating in Paqui's One Chip Challenge, which requires eating one extremely spicy chip. In the video, Trent is crying because of the spice and Sydney can be heard laughing while filming.

"Thanks @sydney_sweeney for the awesome chip! My stomach hates you, but I love you!" he captioned the video. Sydney replied, "Haha I love you buddy 😂 I’m glad you survived."

He supports Sydney's career

Throughout Sydney's success in Hollywood, Trent has been a supportive brother.

He often posts about her achievements on social media and occasionally attends events with her, like the Everything Sucks! premiere in 2018. The following year, Trent shouted out his sister's Screen Actors Guild nomination for her role in The Handmaid's Tale.

He posted a throwback selfie with Sydney on Instagram and captioned it, "I know this is an old picture and I already posted it, but I wanted to congratulate my sis @sydney_sweeney on being nominated for a SAG award and wish her the best of luck."
