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.
