Were Sydney Sweeney And Glen Powell Really Dating? Actress Says The Media 'Created It'

The chemistry between Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell began in their 2023 romantic comedy, Anyone But You, which was so undeniable that it sparked dating rumours. From flirty red-carpet moments to behind-the-scenes clips showing their playful camaraderie, fans and tabloids quickly speculated that the on-screen couple had taken their romance off-screen. Did the press exaggerate the situation? Finally, Sydney Sweeney addressed the speculation and expressed admiration for her co-star.

What did Sydney Sweeney talk about the rumours?

Addressing their romance rumours, Sydney sat with Variety and addressed that the press “did it themselves” when it came to crafting a story around her and Powell’s alleged romance. The Euophria actress told Variety that there was not really any flirting and “The tabloids completely made it up and kept pushing the story."

Even if we were just standing next to each other, they’d say, ‘Look, they’re two inches apart!’ She further added that she and Powell are good friends even after the release of their film. According to Sweeney, they “genuinely care for each other” and share “a lot of love and respect.” She added, “I love being with him.” 

Fans said that they contradict their own words 

Sydney’s latest comments have surprised some people, as they seem different from what she and Powell said earlier. In old interviews, Powell credited Sweeney with playing up their “effortless chemistry” to sell the romantic comedy. The film became a surprise hit, grossing more than $100 million at the box office. Now, Sweeney’s claim that the media created the story makes people wonder which version is true, whether the rumors were a total misunderstanding or partly a clever marketing move.

How did the romance speculations start?

Sydney and Glen, when they started acting for the film Anyone But You, the duo’s natural connection became the talk of the internet. Their moments went viral and fueled gossip, especially after Powell’s breakup with his then-girlfriend, Gigi Paris, around the same period. Many fans concluded that Sweeney was somehow involved, though there was never any concrete evidence.

Gigi Paris hurt by the Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney dating rumours 

After the dating rumours sparked between Glen and Sydney, Powell’s then-girlfriend, Gigi Paris, was reportedly unhappy with how things played out. According to several reports, Paris felt hurt and frustrated that Powell didn’t publicly shut down the speculation about his alleged romance with Sweeney. Paris, who had been dating Powell for several years, was said to have felt disrespected by the constant media buzz and his silence on the matter.

While Sweeney and Powell were promoting the movie with flirty interviews and playful red-carpet appearances, fans noticed that Paris unfollowed both actors on social media. This move quickly fueled breakup rumors. Not long after, Paris seemed to confirm the split with a pointed Instagram post that read, “Know your worth and onto the next.” Many fans interpreted the message as a subtle dig at Powell and as a sign that their relationship had ended due to the ongoing headlines surrounding Sweeney.
