An Explainer On What’s Going Down With Sydney Sweeney And Glen Powell
If you’ve spent any time on the internet over the past week or so, you may have noticed the names Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell popping up on the reg.
The actors just recently finished filming new rom-com Anyone But You, right here in Australia, and rumours are sparking that the two are a little more than friends IRL. The only problem? They both have longterm partners.
People are divided over whether this is a really great publicity ploy for the movie (as Don’t Worry Darling taught us last year, all publicity is good publicity), or if the two really have fallen in love and are just being nonchalant as all hell. Throw in Powell’s longterm girlfriend Gigi Paris unfollowing the Euphoria star on Instagram and we have the makings of a mess on our hands.
So what’s the tea and what is everyone saying? Let’s unpack this Sydney Sweeney and Glenn Powell situation.

So where did the rumours all stem from? It looks like it started when Sweeney shared happy snaps of the two across social media, prompting people to speculate they were more than friends.

Another Twitter user pointed out Gigi put up Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Silver Springs’ on her Instagram story. And, well, if you know anything about that song, you know that’s not a good sign (read more about it here).
Glen Powell's girlfriend unfollowed Sydney Sweeney and is putting Fleetwood Mac all over her Instagram so he for sure cheated.

And very recently, Powell and Sweeney have been spotted looking cosy on the red carpet, but given they’re now in promo mode… is it all just an act?

The Comments
It’s a bad time to be Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s Instagram accounts! Even though nothing has been confirmed at all, fans have been flocking to leave comments, labelling Sydney as a ‘Cassie’ aka her character on Euphoria who cheated with her best friend’s boyfriend. Over on Glen’s Instagram, he’s being told to “respect his partner” after being accused of posting more photos of Sydney on his Instagram than his girlfriend.
FYI, here’s a pic of Sydney and Glen in Australia with what appears to be Glen’s family.

Meanwhile, fans are also flocking to Gigi Paris’s Instagram to show their support for her.
Other things to note!
Popular gossip Instagram deuxmoi has reported Sweeney recently just purchased a new house with her fiancé. TMZ has also reported that Sweeney and Davino are very much still together.
The Verdict?
Look, I can’t help but believe that it’s great publicity for the movie — but either way, regardless of whether the two actually hooked up in real life, it looks like the damage has been done on Powell’s relationship.
As for the release date for Anyone But You? That information hasn’t been revealed yet but we do know it’s an R-rated rom-com, so make of that what you will – for now, we’ll just predict some more messy antics in the lead up to promoting the movie.
