How Glen Powell Dismissed Rumors of Cheating on Sydney Sweeney

In the wake of his split from Gigi Paris and his alleged affair with Sydney Sweeney, Glen Powell sat down with Men’s Health magazine to talk about his reflections on love, relationships, and the struggles that come with being in the public eye. While addressing the drama surrounding his rumored fling with Sweeney, Powell said he felt the whole thing was upsetting and unjust. “When all that stuff happened, you know, publicly, it felt disorienting and unfair. But what I’m realizing is that’s just a part of this gig now,” he said. He also touched a bit on his romantic relationships and explained how fame has affected his dating life. “It’s a lot to deal with,” Powell said, adding that despite his efforts to be a great partner, the career path he’s chosen means romance is often all but impossible to maintain. 

Meanwhile, when speaking to Glamour U.K. about those cheating allegations, Sweeney spoke out in defense of her former co-star. “It was really hard on Glen, which made me sad,” she said. “I care for him so much.” On the public fascination with their love lives, Sweeney believes that it has something to do with the fact that she’s very secretive when it comes to her own relationship with Jonathan Davino — whom, by the way, is still very much her fiancé. “The press loves to create drama in stories,” she told Glamour.
