Sydney Sweeney Buying New Oceanfront Home in South Florida
Sydney Sweeney will soon have the keys to a new estate in South Florida … a lavish, oceanfront mansion, and we’ve got pics of her already hanging out in her new ‘hood.
TMZ obtained these photos of Sydney down in the Sunshine State — we’re told she was grabbing a cup of java at a local coffee shop over Memorial Day weekend, and word in the area is she was in town for a housewarming party.
Sydney stands out anywhere she goes … and her custom blue Fiat 500 makes it even easier to spot her. She’s big into cars, of course, and she’s posted some social media videos showing her tooling around the new property.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Sydney is in the process of finalizing the deal for a new home there which is listed for just south of $20 million — although, it’s unclear what price she’ll end up paying for it. Negotiations are everything!
We’re told the property will expand her real estate portfolio — meaning, she’s also keeping the Los Angeles house she currently owns.
Fact is, Sydney spends most of her time on movie sets these days … but now she’s got options for where to catch some R&R between shoots — and our sources say she’ll spend a lot of time in Florida moving forward.

Can’t really blame her, TBH … Sydney’s new digs are simply amazing — the house sits on the water and is over 7,000 square feet of pure luxury.
It’s got all the bells and whistles, most notably a heated and chilled infinity pool with a swim-up bar, complete with underwater barstools.
The massive estate also has a chef’s kitchen, wine room, aquarium and sweeping views of the ocean and a canal. There’s even an elevator, a home gym and, for fun, a game room and a boat launch.
Assuming she can close without any issues, she’ll have a very sweet home sweet home!

SNAP benefits will be changing in Florida starting Monday
TAMPA, Fla – New SNAP restrictions will start Monday in Florida.
What we know:
These changes will ban the purchase of many sugary sodas, energy drinks, candy and ultra-processed, shelf-stable prepared desserts.
Hunger Free America, an advocacy group, is against these restrictions.
Joel Berg, the CEO, said some regulation is a good thing, but he wants to see it support access to healthy foods as a choice.
“We do support mandates to mandate that healthier food is available in stores that do accept SNAP,” Berg said. “So, it makes a lot more sense to make it easier to get healthier food.”
Berg said these restrictions are unnecessary in achieving a healthier America.
“We should make America healthier again by making healthy food more affordable, convenient and physically available,” Berg said. “We shouldn’t micromanage the eating patterns of adults to try to achieve that goal.”
The other side:
This is part of the Make America Healthy Again initiative.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said, “Under the MAHA initiative, we are taking bold, historic steps to reverse the chronic disease epidemic that has taken root in this country for far too long.”
What they’re saying:
Berg said that these changes, on top of cuts to the program nationwide, will increase hunger.
“It’s not that low-income Americans don’t want healthier food; it’s that they can’t afford healthier food,” Berg said.
This coincides with the announcement that there will be cuts to WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, which supplies food to mothers and young children.
“President Trump’s budget just announced that he’s proposing taking away fruits and vegetables from the WIC program for pregnant women and children under five,” Berg said. “So, they’re taking away healthier food.”
The WIC cuts would take away $1.4 billion in fruit and vegetable benefits from 5.4 million people.
Big picture view:
The SNAP changes come as part of the MAHA movement and include more than 20 other states that will implement changes over the next two years.
