Glen Powell's Ex Recalls Being 'Blindsided' By A Breakup Involving A 'PR Scheme'
Gigi Paris appears to be reflecting on her past relationship with actor Glen Powell with the benefit of hindsight. The model appeared on Tuesday's episode of the 'Too Much' podcast and spoke at length about her recent split from what host Emma Klipstein refers to as a 'boyfriend of four years,' though Powell is not identified by name. According to Paris, she and her ex began dating in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, but found themselves at a crossroads when his career 'skyrocketed' once they began resuming their day-to-day life. 'I had no idea what I was getting myself into,' she explained. 'I am a family person. I like to be at home with my friends and my family, and I like things simple. But I was also really grateful to experience all that and go to such incredible places and see all the magic. But in seeing all of it, I also saw a lot of what it takes to kind of succeed in that world.' She went on to note: 'I felt like I was sacrificing a lot to show up and be there for that person, but I don't know if it was fully reciprocated in hindsight.' The breaking point, Paris said, came when her boyfriend chose to prioritize a 'PR scheme at the expense of our relationship.' 'I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like: 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she OK with this? What the fuck?'' she said. 'Or stand up for myself and say, 'No, I'm actually not OK with this, and I'm walking away.' So that's what I decided to do. It wasn't a way to monetize the breakup. It wasn't a way to twist the story around. I was shattered.' Though Paris notably refrained from identifying the people involved in this situation, she appeared to be describing the longstanding rumors of a romance between Powell and his 'Anyone but You' co-star Sydney Sweeney. Speaking to The New York Times last year, Powell acknowledged he and Sweeney ― who was engaged to producer Jonathan Davino at the time ― opted to 'lean into' their 'effortless chemistry' while promoting their film. To date, the two actors have not publicly confirmed a relationship. Nonetheless, Paris said she felt 'blindsided' by the experience. 'Don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years, talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know?' she said. 'And at the end of the day, it was like, 'Well, work comes first.' And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I got to walk away.' Though Paris didn't clarify the status of her ex-boyfriend's relationship, she said she was hopeful that he and his co-star would 'end up together,' noting: 'I hope they are in love or whatnot.' 'I have heard so many different sides of the story. I have no confirmation of what actually happened,' she continued. 'I just know what my standards are. And for me, it just wasn't OK the way it was handled, period.' Though the exact timeline of their relationship remains unclear, Paris and Powell split in 2023 ― the same year 'Anyone but You' became a surprise hit at the box office. Speculation that Powell and Sweeney are dating began heating up again in April following news that Sweeney had called off her engagement to Davino. That same month, Powell confirmed Sweeney was a guest at his sister's Texas wedding, albeit not as his date. Listen to Gigi Paris's full interview on the 'Too Much' podcast here.

CGTN "The Pulse of Modernization": Behind the Surge of Innovation in China
BEIJING, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A CGTN documentary exploring stories of innovation across China, "The Pulse of Modernization" is a collection of stories that showcase how both individuals and companies across China are working hard to realize their visions of a brighter future. Every year, icy air currents from Siberia sweep southward, turning Northeast China into a winter wonderland. In the past, these harsh winters were obstacles to development, but today they fuel China's ice and snow economy. The Harbin Ice and Snow World is now a global attraction. Host "Brother Left and Right" cheers on crowds of partygoers reveling between giant ice sculptors. Local ice sculptor Mr. Yueba has begun making smaller ice sculptures that allow visitors to touch and even wear icy artworks. Retired ice hockey player Du Bingyang teaches local kids in Harbin his secrets to success. The Marvel Ski Club has brought Guochao or Chinese-chic to the ski slopes of Northeast China. This unique trend has recently attracted vast crowds of skiers and snowboarders to flock to local ski resorts dressed as their favorite characters from stories like Journey to the West. And in the world of manufacturing, the skis and snowboards hitting these slopes are now increasingly being made by local companies. Their teams are working tirelessly to experiment with both revolutionary materials and design, and hope to take the industry to new heights. And perhaps the most exciting recent development has been the stellar growth of China's low-altitude economy. Down in Shenzhen, Damoda is one of its brightest names. Breaking Guinness World Records with ever-larger drone formations, Damoda continues to set global standards for drone shows both in terms of size and quality. Last but certainly not least, the incredible "Land Aircraft Carrier" Modular Flying Car is vehicle that will make you feel like you have stepped inside a science fiction novel. It is a bold attempt to make flying freer, and looks set to change the way we commute and spend our free time in the near future. The Pulse of Modernization is a search for the spirit of China's modernization, a journey into the heart of a nation turning dreams of the future into a reality.
