Glen Powell's ex left 'shattered' after Sydney Sweeney romance claims
Model Gigi Paris has spoke out about the breakdown of a high profile relationship as she split from actor Glen Powell amid rumours of a romance with co-star Sydney Sweeney
Gigi Paris has revealed exactly what her ex-boyfriend told her amid rumours he was having an affair with a co-star. The model did not explicitly name her ex when making the claims, yet she was in a high-profile romance with actor Glen Powell for over three years before splitting in 2023.
Around the same time as Gigi, 32, and Glen's split, he was promoting his romantic comedy Anyone But You with Sydney Sweeney and was bombarded with on-set romance rumours. The pair seemed to play into the speculation as they promoted the film, with Glen, 36, admitting the tactic "worked wonderfully".
Fans quickly noticed their intense chemistry, with many pointing out how touchy and flirty they were during interviews. However, Sydney later shut down the speculation while hosting Saturday Night Live, calling the online rumours "disorienting and unfair."
Despite Sydney playing off any connection with Glen, Gigi has spoke about how she coped with intense rumours about a past relationship that is understood to refer to Glen. She admitted to being "blindsided" and "shattered" when claims about her boyfriend hit the headlines.
Gigi spoke of an A-list ex, who she did not name, that allegedly brushed off her concerns and told her: "This is what I have to do for my job." She added on the Too Much podcast: "I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder: 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f***?'
"Or stand up for myself and say: 'No, I'm actually not okay with this, and I'm walking away.' So that's what I decided to do." Gigi insisted: "It wasn't a way to monetise the breakup. It wasn't a way to twist the story around. I was shattered, shattered.
"I just wanted respect. Especially if it's gonna be public, like don't make an a** out of me. Just 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?"
The model said the situation was "handled" wrongly and left her feeling "like I was just fed to the dogs" as the publicity stunt unfolded. Gigi revealed her reason for leaving the relationship and added: "I just hit a threshold of what I could take, and I was just so disappointed and that was that."
Gigi hinted at the split from Glen in 2023 in a post on social media that read: "Know your worth & onto the next," in an apparent dig at her actor ex. Following the split, Glen gave Sydney "all the credit" for using the affair rumours to promote their movie.
"I don't have the mental capacity to pull anything like this off, but she's very smart. She's very smart," he said at the time. He added to Business Insider that "the only reason it made things harder for me to lean into that stuff was that I was going through a very real breakup amidst a promotional tour."
Glen said: "I was with someone that I really loved and cared about and was trying to kind of make sense of a lot of stuff." The Top Gun star claimed it was "easier" for Sydney as she was "in a very committed and wonderful relationship".
Sydney confessed to being "on every call" that involved promoting the film as she said: "I wanted to make sure that we were actively having a conversation with the audience as we were promoting this film, because at the end of the day, they're the ones who created the entire narrative."
The actress has finally confirmed this month that she is now single following rumours of the breakdown of her engagement to Jonathan Davino. Confirming her single status, Sydney told The Sunday Times: 'I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it.'
Sydney was with Jonathan for seven years, with the pair planning to get married in May. Their wedding was called off and according to Page Six, the split came as she was "extremely busy" with her acting career which brought new added "tension" to their relationship.

A three-year-old boy was left "smiling ear to ear" after being serenaded by singer Kylie Minogue, his dad has from from Matlock in Derbyshire, went to see the Australian singer with his dad Glen at a concert in Birmingham on 5 June. He took with him a pink rose to hand to Kylie, but Glen, 53, said they never expected him to get as much attention as he to the BBC, Glen said: "He's still excited about it. He thinks he's famous." Glen said: "We knew whereabouts we were sat, so we'd got an inkling that she may get to see him. "But we never expected what happened, we just expected a little wave or 'aw' with his age. "[Kylie] starts The Loco-Motion on the main stage, works her way over to the satellite stage, which is where we were stood."Glen said Kylie then picked people from the audience to give roses to, "then she sort of focused on Reuben". "She gave him a rose, and he gave her one back. His face lit up and she started a conversation with him," Glen added."The audience were watching on the big screen and 'oohing and ahhing' obviously, because he's a little boy who was smiling ear to ear. "She was really engaging, she was fabulous. She'd obviously got an affinity with him, and then she sang the song to him."Glen says Kylie initially spoke to Reuben about his clothing, as he was "bedazzled head to toe with Kylie signs and diamonds".Reuben was also wearing specially made shoes for the event, featuring a diamond. "He was stunned, he went quiet initially, which is unlike Reuben. He was just smiling with shock and surprise," Glen said."One of his first words was 'dam dam', which he was obviously trying to say 'Padam Padam'. "He is a real fan as well, but we initiated that. He lit up all night."Glen says as they were leaving the event, Reuben then got attention from other concert-goers."Because he'd been on the big screens everybody recognised him."People said 'you were really brilliant, weren't you Reuben', and he said 'yes I was'."We didn't expect all this," he said.

Sydney Sweeney reveals Glen Powell gave her a helping hand after his ex shared reaction to affair rumors
Sydney Sweeney revealed that Glen Powell hooked her up with her latest project after his ex finally opened up about her reaction to their affair rumors. The 27-year-old blonde bombshell will appear on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Wednesday where she opened up about a career opportunity the 36-year-old helped her out with. Earlier this year, Sydney appeared on Tate McCrae song Miss Possessive and she revealed that it was her Anyone But You costar who connected her with the 21-year-old rising pop star. Host Kelly, 43, asked if she knew Tate prior as Sydney replied: 'I didn't. So, I've been a huge fan of her music. I think she's so beyond talented. She's so hot. 'Yeah, uh and Glen actually connected me with her. He was like, "hey, Tate wants me to connect you two. Can I give her your number?" I said "yeah, sure." 'So, he put us in contact and then she reached out and was like, "hey, I really would love to sample your voice for a portion of my song and my new album. Would you be down?" I'm like "hell yes." Yeah. It's so cool.' This came after Glen's ex-girlfriend Gigi Paris finally revealed her reaction to rumors that he had an affair with Hollywood siren Sydney. Gigi, 32, and Glen were involved with each other for 'over three years' before splitting in 2023, she explained on the podcast Too Much. About that time, Glen and Sydney were promoting their romantic comedy Anyone But You when they were were hit with speculation they had an on-set romance - and deliberately played into the conjecture to drum up publicity for the movie. He freely admitted afterwards that the gambit 'worked wonderfully,' as the fim was a smash hit, and he added to the New York Times: 'Sydney is very smart.' However Gigi has now shared her side of the story, recalling that she was left 'blindsided' and 'shattered' when the romance rumors hit the headlines. Her A-list ex, whom she did not name, allegedly waved away her concerns by saying: 'This is what I have to do for my job.' contacted representatives for Sydney and Glen for comment. Earlier this year, Sydney appeared on Tate McCrae song Miss Possessive and she revealed that it was her Anyone But You costar who connected her with the 21-year-old rising pop star Gigi said that once she was faced with Glen's argument that the situation was a professional necessity, she 'had two options.' She explained: 'I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder: 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f***?' Or stand up for myself and say: 'No, I'm actually not okay with this, and I'm waking away.' So that's what I decided to do.' The Miami-born model insisted: 'It wasn't a way to monetize the breakup. It wasn't a way to twist the story around. I was shattered, shattered.' Gigi added: 'I just wanted respect. Especially if it's gonna be public, like don't make an a** out of me. Just 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 claimed that for Glen, '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 gotta walk away.' In her view, the situation was 'handled' improperly from a publicity standpoint and left her feeling 'like I was just fed to the dogs, like: "Good luck. You handle this."' Gigi decided to exit the relationship because 'I just hit a threshold of what I could take, and I was just so disappointed and that was that.' She shared that she 'flew across the world to look at him in the face and say: "I can't do this anymore," and was 'bawling' throughout the flight to Australia, where Anyone But You was predominantly filmed. Gigi also argued that Glen should have issued a public statement denying the affair and insisting that he was faithful to her. 'I know that I deserve a lot better, and I know that the bare minimum of any relationship is to have your partner's back, period,' she contended. 'Where are you when you just need to stand up and say: 'No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn't do that.' That's all that needed to be said.' She observed: 'Also it was serving them for their PR. Later on it turned out that it was all – I don't know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship.' Her feeling is that 'it was pretty obvious what was going on, and if people didn't really see what was going on, that's fine, but to me it was just like, whoa, that's pretty crazy, just to sell a movie – or not, who knows?' She said with a wan laugh: 'And I honestly hoped that they'd end up together, 'cause I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me. Hope they are in love or whatnot.' In the months after his split from Gigi, Glen said he gave Sydney 'all the credit' for using the affair rumors to fuel publicity for their picture. 'I don't have the mental capacity to pull anything like this off, but she's very smart. She's very smart,' the Hollywood Adonis remarked. 'I had such a wonderful journey with her on this thing. But in terms of actual dating and actually being together?' he added, laughing, to Business insider. He added that 'the only reason it made things harder for me to lean into that stuff was that I was going through a very real breakup amidst a promotional tour.' Glen maintained: 'I was with someone that I really loved and cared about and was trying to kind of make sense of a lot of stuff.' He noted that 'it was a lot easier for Sydney to lean into something like that because she's in a very committed and wonderful relationship and she's very happy.' At the time, Sydney, 27, was engaged to her longtime boyfriend Jonathan Davino, 41, whom she publicly confirmed her split from this May after months of breakup rumors. Sydney, who was an executive producer on Anyone But You, has stated that she 'was on every call' that involved promoting the film. 'I was in text group chats. I was probably keeping everybody over at Sony marketing and distribution awake at night because I couldn't stop with ideas.' The busty blonde bombshell dished: 'I wanted to make sure that we were actively having a conversation with the audience as we were promoting this film, because at the end of the day, they're the ones who created the entire narrative.'
