Sydney Sweeney is clearing the air about her Glen Powell romance rumors. Talking to Variety recently, the Anyone But You star addressed the theory that she and her co-star leaned into the false buzz about their off-screen romance to sell their movie. The actress said there was “no leaning in” whatsoever from either her end or Powell's. “The press did it themselves,” she explained, adding that even something as simple as standing next to the Top Gun: Maverick star sparked wild headlines then. Despite the rumors, Sweeney said she and Powell share genuine love and respect for each other.

Their 2023 rom-com, Anyone But You, notably turned into a major hit, earning over $220 million worldwide per Box Office Mojo, and buzz for a sequel has been swirling for a long time now. Sydney Sweeney addressed this too, not shutting that idea down, saying, “We are always open to it.” But for now, she is focused on what is next, including her powerful new drama, Christy and upcoming thriller, The Housemaid. For Sweeney, the goal is simple: To keep proving she is more than just the buzz around her name.

Sydney Sweeney’s Christy, for those unversed, is a biographical film in which she portrays boxing legend Christy Martin. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, 2025, and is scheduled for US release on November 7. The Housemaid, meanwhile, is one of the most anticipated book-to-screen adaptations of recent times, set to hit theatres on December 19. Focused as she may be on her career, though, Sweeney’s romance rumors with Glen Powell certainly had an impact, if not in selling the movie, then on a personal level for one of the two.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s romance buzz reportedly played a part in the actor’s breakup with his then-girlfriend.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s undeniable on-screen chemistry evolving into off-screen speculation reportedly led to Glen Powell’s breakup with his girlfriend, Gigi Paris, in April 2023. Paris herself confirmed it on the Too Much Podcast in June 2025, saying she felt “fed to the dogs” amid the co-stars’ dating rumors and wished Powell had spoken up to deny them. Sweeney and Powell’s rumors, which the actress cleared in her Variety chat, may have had larger implications than the Euphoria actress knew.

As the old chatter fades now amid Sydney Sweeney reportedly moving on with Scooter Braun, though, she is determined to let her work do the talking. With two major releases on the horizon and a clear sense of direction, she seems unfazed by the noise that once surrounded her. Whether or not the speculation ever truly settles, Sweeney’s focus has shifted, from headlines to hard work, proving that her story extends far beyond fleeting rumors or on-screen chemistry.
