A close look into the alleged romantic relationship between Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney’s recent attendance at the wedding fueled fresh speculations, particularly in light of her recent split from her fiancé, Jonathan Davino.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell have been the subject of romance rumors since they appeared in Anyone But You. According to a report by Glamour, the speculations started after 2023 when the real-life chemistry between the actors both on and off the screen led fans to believe that the duo were more than just friends.

Things heated up when Powell’s then girlfriend, Gigi Paris, unfollowed Sweeney on Instagram, as a possible sign of a breakup. The two actors also leaned into the drama as part of the film’s marketing strategy, despite the speculation.

As of late 2023, Sweeney was still with fiancé Jonathan Davino, who she called a great long-term partner. But in March 2024, she deleted a picture of them together fueling breakup rumors.

Glen Powell at that time was praising Sweeney, describing her as a “renaissance woman” and a thoughtful friend. Flash forward to March 2025, reports emerged claiming that Sweeney and Davino had ended their wedding plans.
