Celebrity watchers everywhere are talking about what’s going on between actors Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney. Powell, 34, and Sweeney, 25, recently completed filming their upcoming romantic comedy “Anyone But You”. While the duo was on set in Australia, they shared plenty of photos where they looked super close. Soon, rumors began to spread that the couple had become involved on set, despite the fact that Sweeney is engaged and Powell is also in a relationship. The duo also appeared at CinemaCon on April 25 to support their new film, and they shone on the red carpet together. Here’s what we know about the romance rumors between Powell and Sweeney.
TMZ reported on April 25 that Powell’s girlfriend, Gigi Paris, had unfollowed Sweeney on Instagram (although she still follows Powell). Paris, 30, and Powell were first linked in January 2020. TMZ followed that report with another that Sweeney and Powell are not dating and Sweeney is still engaged to Jonathan Davino, 38, who works in the restaurant industry. A source added that Sweeney and Powell’s vibes are “romantic comedy related.” Representatives for Powell and Sweeney did not immediately respond to POPSUGAR’s request for comment.
Powell first caught fans when he starred in 2018’s romantic comedy “Set It Up” and he appeared in 2022’s “Top Gun: Maverick.”Euphoriaand the first season of “White Lotus.” Their new film, “Anyone But You,” is an updated version of Shakespeare’s classic “Much Ado About Nothing,” in which Sweeney and Powell play college rivals who reunite at a friend’s destination wedding, and sparks are flying. The film is directed by Will Gluck, who helmed “Easy A” and “Friends With Benefits”. At CinemaCon, Powell said of the film, “Sydney play a character [who is] a real nightmare”, while Sweeney called his character, “a donkey”, by People. “And what better place to put a nightmare and an ass than halfway around the world in the most romantic setting imaginable?” Powell added.
So, is their standout chemistry just marketing for the movie? It would not be the first time. For example, many fans were convinced bradley cooper And Lady Gaga were in love while promoting “A Star Is Born” in 2018, but the pair were never romantically involved. But of course there is many couples who met on the set and still going strong. For now, it looks like Sweeney and Powell are just marketing their rom-com (and it really works).
