After. months of speculation and gossip, Sydney Sweeney addressed the Glen Powell cheating rumors while hosting Saturday Night Live.
During her opening monologue, Sweeney spoke about the “craziest rumor” about her. She allegedly had an affair with Powell while filming their hit rom-com Anyone But You.
“That’s obviously not true,” Sydney Sweeney proclaimed about the Glen Powell rumors. “Me and my fiancé produced the movie together and he was there the entire shoot, and I just want to let everyone know that he’s the man of my dreams and we’re still together and stronger than ever.”
Sweeney then pointed out that Powell came to the show to support her. “He even came here tonight to support me, Can we cut to him,” she asked before the cameras turned to Powell, who was sitting in the audience. Sweeney declared, “Yeah, no, that’s not my fiancé. He’s in my dressing room!”
Sydney Sweeney is engaged to businessman Jonathan Davino. She and Powell previously discussed why the rumors started. “I mean, we sold a rom-com,” Sweeney stated at the time. “We were just filming a fun, amazing movie.”
Powell further spoke about the attention he had received while filming with Sweeney. “Sydney has been … an Internet sensation for a while,” he explained. “This is my first leap into that. Any time you’re near Sydney, I realize you get the full force of her fame. But look, the best part about it is we truly love each other, and we respect each other. We had the greatest time making this thing.”
Sydney Sweeney Previously Stated That Dating Rumors Were ‘Really Hard’ on Glen Powell
During an interview with Glamour, Sydney Sweeney admitted that the dating rumors had been really hard on her Anyone But You co-star, Glen Powell.
“It was really hard on Glen, which made me sad,” Sweeney explained. “Because [otherwise] it was such a beautiful experience for the both of us. I care for him so much.”
Sydney Sweeney further pointed out the reason why the Glen Powell romance rumors started was because she doesn’t talk about her relationship with Davino. “Also, I’ve never really shared that much [about my relationship], so the press loves to create drama in stories,” she said.
Glen Powell was previously in a long-term relationship with Gigi Paris. The former couple called it quits last spring after three years of dating. Sweeney revealed to Variety that she felt “beat up” by the rumors. “It’s hard to sit back and watch, and not be able to stand up for yourself.”
