Approximately two years ago, Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney showcased their high-profile romantic comedy, “Anyone but You” from 2023. Their joint press tour garnered a significant amount of interest due to their playful public exchanges. However, these dating rumors were eventually dispelled, and by 2024, Powell, who had been in a relationship with Gigi Paris during part of that time, revealed that the affair speculation was merely used to boost the film’s promotion. Now, Paris is shedding light on her perspective of the situation.
Gigi Paris discussed her viewpoint on a specific incident during an episode of the ‘Too Much Podcast’ (available on YouTube). Not directly mentioning either Glen Powell or Sydney Sweeney, the actress and model shared that she found herself in a challenging position as gossip about her boyfriend and his co-star circulated. In this discussion, she revealed the barrage of questions she faced and how she decided to address the rumors:
either play along and create confusion among people, such as ‘Are they together? Are they not? How is she feeling about this?’ or speak up for myself and walk away when I wasn’t comfortable. I chose the latter option. It wasn’t an attempt to exploit the breakup or manipulate the narrative. I was genuinely hurt.
Following the cancellation of her wedding, Sydney Sweeney was spotted spending time with Glen Powell. A source shares insights about their current situation.
Glen Powell and Gigi Paris were first rumored to be romantically involved in 2020. In 2021, they made their relationship public on Instagram. However, things started getting interesting when Powell and Sydney Sweeney started promoting their movie in 2023. People took notice when they attended CinemaCon together that year. Interestingly enough, Paris was dating Powell at the time, while Sweeney was engaged to Jonathan Davino. The rumors of a split between Powell and Paris gained traction in 2023 after Paris stopped following Sweeney on social media. To add fuel to the fire, Paris posted an enigmatic Instagram message that seemed to suggest the end of her relationship with Powell.
In her podcast interview, Paris expressed that people’s views of her back then were predominantly unfavorable. She went on to say that she felt she was unfairly portrayed at that time, using the phrase, “I was essentially thrown to the wolves.” Later in the conversation, she recollected the events that ensued when she decided to express herself:
In essence, what I was seeking was respect, particularly in public situations. In other words, avoid embarrassing me or making a laughing stock out of me, especially given our three-year history and promises of forever. Basically, show some basic decency. At the end of the day, it seemed like work took precedence over our relationship. If that’s your priority, so be it. I had to move on. The most disappointing part was not how the situation unfolded, but rather how it was handled. It felt as though I had been abandoned to fend for myself. And then, when I finally gathered the courage to express my feelings, I was met with criticism instead of support. What I expected from any relationship is unwavering loyalty. Unfortunately, that wasn’t demonstrated at all… not even once.
The movie “Anyone but You” proved to be extremely popular and ended up earning over $200 million globally during its run. There have been whispers about a sequel, although nothing has been confirmed yet. Sydney Sweeney and Gigi Paris, the film’s main actors, have been rather evasive when asked about it, with Sydney Sweeney avoiding direct questions on the subject in an interview earlier this year. Following the movie’s success, Gigi Paris continues to express reservations about how the romantic comedy was marketed, feeling that it may have affected her personal relationship.
Initially, it appeared they were genuinely helping us for public relations purposes. However, later on, we discovered that it had been a calculated PR stunt, exploiting our relationship without any genuine intention or connection. It was quite astonishing, to say the least.
As a passionate cinephile, I must confess that I secretly rooted for Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney to hit it off on set – their chemistry was so electrifying that it made every scene they shared worth savoring. Alas, recent reports suggest that they are merely friends, which is a bittersweet revelation indeed. While Glen has moved on from his previous engagement with Jonathan Davino this year, I can’t help but wonder if the magic between these two talented actors might still be in the making – here’s hoping!
