Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney addressed affair rumors
Sydney Sweeney, 27, addressed the rumors while hosting Saturday Night Live in March 2024, stating:
"The craziest rumor is that I was having an affair with my co-star Glen Powell. That's obviously not true. Me and my fiancé produced the movie together, and he was there the entire shoot."
Glen Powell, 36, echoed this sentiment in a 2024 interview with The New York Times, explaining that their chemistry was a promotional strategy.
"The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry. Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry," he said.

The rumors gained more traction after reports confirmed Sydney had ended her engagement with Jonathan Davino after seven years. According to Cosmopolitan reports, dated April 1, 2025, the engagement was officially over. However, Sydney had previously spoken highly of Jonathan, telling Entertainment Tonight in 2023:
"It's amazing having someone who cheers you on and someone who fully just supports what you do."
Cyndy Powell emphasized that Glen Powell is currently focused on his career rather than his love life, stating that he is too busy at the moment. She added that although he wants a family and his "happily ever after," it's just not the right time for him.
Glen Powell has previously dated actress Nina Dobrev in 2017, TV host Renee Bargh in 2018, and model Gigi Paris, with whom he had a long-term relationship from 2020 to 2023.
During the interview, when asked whether she would support her son dating Sydney in the future, Cyndy remained neutral. Cyndy Powell mentioned that she prefers to stay out of her son Glen Powell's dating life, focusing on the well-being of everyone involved.
