In a heartwarming revelation, actress Sydney Sweeney has shared the touching story of how she purchased a home of great sentimental value to multiple generations of her family. The house, once owned by her great grandparents, held a special place in her family history as it was the birthplace of both her grandmother and mother.
During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Sweeney, who is currently promoting her new rom-com Anyone But You, disclosed that she took matters into her own hands to bring the house back into the family. Last year, she contacted the owners and successfully bought back her great-grandmother's cherished home.
Describing the property, Sweeney reminisced, "My great-grandma had this beautiful house, two bedroom, cute house that they lived in. My grandma was born in it. My mom was born in it, and then as the kids got older, they built on the property another home."
Tragically, after the passing of her great grandfather, financial constraints forced her great grandmother to part ways with the cherished family home. Determined to reconnect with her family's roots, Sweeney made the decision to repurchase the house, indicating the deep sentimental value it held.
The talented actress expressed her joy, stating, "Last year I called up the owners, and I said I want to buy my great-grandmother's house back." Notably, Sweeney mentioned that her grandmother still resides in the house next door, highlighting the close bond she continues to share with her family.
Sweeney has been candid about the financial challenges her family faced as she pursued her acting career. Witnessing her parents go through bankruptcy and losing their home on the lake, she persevered by taking on various odd jobs, including cleaning restaurant bathrooms, babysitting, and even working as a tour guide at Universal Studios.
Now, Sweeney's success in Hollywood has allowed her to restore the family connection and reclaim her great-grandparents' home. With breakout roles in acclaimed series like The White Lotus and Euphoria, her star continues to rise. Adding to her impressive repertoire, her upcoming rom-com, Anyone But You, is expected to further elevate her status in the industry.
While Sweeney's career flourishes, she recently revealed feeling a sense of being "behind" as many of her friends are already married. In an honest interview with Glamour, she expressed her sentiments about marriage, acknowledging that although she may appear unconventional, all her friends and cousins seem to be settling down and starting families. However, Sweeney remains focused on her career ambitions while still cherishing the strong familial bonds that have shaped her journey.
Sydney Sweeney's story of reclaiming her ancestral home not only showcases her dedication to family but also serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring and preserving one's heritage.
