Sweeney has been candid about embracing her body. In October 2023, she told Glamour UK that she once felt self-conscious about her bust size in high school.

She mentioned her intention to undergo breast reduction surgery at age 18, but her mother, Lisa Sweeney, persuaded her to hold off.

“My mom advised, ‘Don’t do it. You’ll regret it in college,’” Sydney recalled. “And I’m so grateful I didn’t. I appreciate them; they’re my best friends.”

Sweeney has also discussed her “sex symbol” label, stating she doesn’t see herself that way.

“I often portray complex characters, and I believe many people think they know who I am, but they truly don’t,” she shared with Variety on Monday, October 27. “So when people say, ‘Oh, she’s a sex symbol,’ or ‘She’s embracing that,’ I respond, ‘No, I just feel good and I’m doing this for myself and feeling empowered.’”
