The seemingly innocuous onscreen chemistry between the actors veered into something of a scandal as fans wondered if they hooked up. It also did not help matters that Glen Powell's girlfriend, Gigi Paris, broke up with him while the movie was still in production. Additionally, she severed social media ties with Sydney Sweeney. From these actions, it appeared as though Paris had issues with both parties, but what was her relationship with Sweeney like prior to the Anyone But You scandal?

Were Sydney Sweeney And Gigi Paris Close Before Her Break Up With Glen Powell?

Leading up to the complete filming of Anyone But You and the drama that ensued over Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell's onscreen chemistry, Gigi Paris appeared to have been the pair's biggest supporter. Back in January 2023, the model was all about good tidings on Sweeney's Instagram page after the Euphoria actress shared screenshots of a Deadline news article announcing the production of the Rom-com.

Per Seventeen, Gigi Paris was among the well-wishers on Instagram who showed their support for the actress as she shared some celebratory emojis. Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell finished filming for Anyone But You in April, and this was followed by an appearance at CinemaCon. The star actors attended the event to personally debut the trailer for the romance flick.

It is safe to say that the Top Gun: Maverick actor and Reality actress were heavy on publicity as they openly flirted while promoting their new movie. After Sydney Sweeney revealed that she and Glen Powell wanted to be at the event in person, he chipped in, "We love seeing ourselves on the big screen." The TV actress then playfully replied, "Oh please, Top Gun," in reference to Powell's 2022 action film. This appeared to be an inside joke between them as Powell quipped, "I love when she calls me that." This had fans wondering if there was more to their friendship.

How Did Sydney Sweeney And Glen Powell React To The Romance Rumors?

The movie stars joined People Magazine in December 2023, for an exclusive interview where they talked about making Anybody But You as well as the speculations surrounding their work relationship. The plans to make the movie were set in motion after Sydney Sweeney's rapport with Glen Powell at the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards. The Devotion actor presented her the trophy for Best Fight for her Euphoria brawl in season two.

Speaking about the event, Powell relayed, "I hand her the golden Popcorn." In response to this, Sweeny teased, "I'm like, 'Wow that's the best handover." Glen Powell went on to gush over their chemistry from that moment as he told the publication:

"We had chemistry right off the bat. It was amazing and so much so that she decided to give me a role in this movie."

The Rom-com couple started raising eyebrows while filming the movie in Australia, as many of their snaps on set got fans wondering if there was more to their screenplay. Speaking about handling the speculations, Glen Powell said:

"Sydney has been an internet sensation for a while. This is my first leap into that. Any time you're near Sydney, I realize you get the full force of her fame. But look, the best part about it is we truly love each other, and we respect each other. We had the greatest time making this thing."

In her own opinion, Sydney Sweeney, whose body transformation redefined her aura, made reference to their onscreen chemistry, noting that she believed that was why speculations flew. The actress relayed, "I think people saw just how much fun we were actually having."

While the speculations surrounding Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell had both stars clearing the air, they can both agree that it helped Anyone But You gather the needed traction. Sweeney confirmed this to Variety earlier in 2023, saying:

"It's a rom-com! That's what people want! Glen and I don't really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he's such a hard worker, and I'm a hard worker."

Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney clarified that their onscreen chemistry did not extend beyond the movie set. However, none of the parties involved have commented on why Gigi Paris unfollowed both of them on social media. After Paris broke up with the Hidden Figures actor, celebrity gossip site, DeauxMoi revealed that the lovers hit a rough patch in their relationship before Powell even filmed Anyone But You.

An insider also revealed to People that the model's relationship with the actor had been tumultuous from the days of Top Gun. This was reportedly caused by Glen Powell's long-distance filming which did not sit right with Gigi Paris. The insider shared about their breakup, "They both decided to break up for good. It wasn't about infidelity..." The lovers were together for three years.

Unlike Glen Powell who has been single, Sydney Sweeney has been engaged to restaurateur, Jonathan Davino, since 2022. Although there were also speculations that they got separated, TMZ debunked it, reporting that the couple was still going on strong.
