Sydney Sweeney admits she 'loves' single life as she confirms split from fiancé
Sydney Sweeney has finally confirmed she is single after reportedly splitting from her fiancé earlier this year, and has spoken out about her relationship with co-star Glen Powell.
Sydney Sweeney has finally revealed that she is single following her rumoured split from fiancé Jonathan Davino earlier this year, which saw the actress call off her planned wedding to the film producer.
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 but instead splitting up just weeks before in January, according to reports. The actress hasn't divulged what led to the split, but according to Page Six, the split came as she was "extremely busy" with her acting career which brought new added "tension" to their relationship.
The source said in April, before the split was confirmed: "Things are also always tense between them when she is promoting a movie because she has to give her full attention to the project, and people always speculate about their relationship and Sydney being close to her co-stars. It's a tough dynamic for Jonathan.'
While the clarity comes after months of speculation around the couple, it's not the only question fans have been waiting for the actress to answer.
Since the release of 2023 rom com Anyone But You, many wondering whether there was romance or just some really good marketing between Sydney, 27, and her co-star Glen Powell.
The duo appeared increasingly close during the filming and marketing of the movie, and were spotted in April looking close as Sydney joined Glen, 36, in attending his sister, Leslie's wedding rehearsal dinner. In photos shared by gossip site DeuxMoi, Sydney was seen spending time with his family in Texas at the time.
The actress was also spotted having brunch with some of Glen's family, while the Top Gun: Maverick star was absent according to a source.
The joint appearance came as Sydney's split from her fiancé came to light, leading many to wonder whether the two were connected.
However, Sydney says it's all platonic between the pair, who save the steamy stuff for being in front of the camera. 'It's always beautiful to see people fall in love with characters and be really supportive of stuff that they see on screen,' said The White Lotus star Sydney.
She continued to clarify: "Glenn and I adore each other, so I think we were so happy for the reception of the film.'
Adding that they are still close, Sydney said: 'When you spend so much time with someone, you become close and you talk to each other about anything. So work, life, family, friends, he's just there for me. I'm there for him.' We'll sleep easier with that clarity.

Arnold Schwarzenegger shocks fans with 'weird and creepy' remark about seeing son Patrick naked on screen
Arnold Schwarzenegger made his son Patrick blush while talking about watching him bare it all in season three of HBO 's hit drama The White Lotus. During Variety's Actors on Actors series, the father and son duo spoke candidly about everything from the level of scrutiny Patrick faces as a ' nepo baby ' to making the decision to do full-frontal nudity for the biggest roles of their careers. After Arnold, 77, reflected on appearing nude in both The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Patrick, 31, reminded him he's 'done it' too. 'I couldn't believe [it]. I said to myself, 'I'm watching your show, and I'm watching your butt sticking out there.' And all of a sudden, I see the weenie. What is going on here? This is crazy!' Arnold recalled. Despite initially feeling taken aback after seeing Patrick naked in The White Lotus, he quickly reminded himself: 'Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don't complain about it.' Still, he quipped: 'It was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely.' Patrick went on to sidestep talking any further about his nude scene as he pivoted the conversation to how they've both worked with some of Hollywood's biggest directors. The moment sparked a plethora of reactions on social media as many dubbed it bizarre and uncomfortable that Arnold commented about seeing his son in the buff. 'Arnold's just being a dad—hilarious and awkward in the best way. 'The weenie' comment got me [crying with laughter emoji],' one X user tweeted. Another wrote: 'They are so wild and weird and creepy.' 'When your dad's the Terminator, even your nudity gets a performance review!' a third joked. Despite Arnold ruffling some feathers, others praised them for 'interviewing each other and talking about weenies.' Others called that portion of the interview 'the funniest part of the whole segment.' 'You gotta admire the bluntness though. No sugar-coating, just "Yo, what's going on here?!" That's the kinda dad commentary reality TV NEEDS more of,' another insisted. In addition to having Arnold publicly react to his nude scene, Patrick's mom Maria Shriver recently did as well. When asked about seeing her son's full-frontal scene, the journalist, 69, laughed off the awkward question. 'People are like, "Oh my God, you saw!" [and] I'm like, 'I gave birth to him.' It's not such a, you know, I've seen him naked,' she mused. 'I've seen him naked since he was a baby.' In February, Patrick's brother-in-law Chris Pratt also confessed to not looking away at his package in those revealing The White Lotus scenes. 'I know where my eyes went—I'm not blood-related to him, I was looking at that d**k, bro,' Pratt joked to E! News. 'No, he looks amazing. Obviously, he's a physical specimen, but also he's a really solid actor, because the character he's playing is completely different than who he is.' Following the release of The White Lotus, Patrick admitted he didn't know the 'extent' of the nakedness that his role as Saxon Ratliff required before agreeing to it. 'You do the auditions but you don't see the full script so you don't have all the details, then they ask you, "Are you comfortable with nudity?" when you sign on,' he told The Sunday Times Style Magazine. Patrick defended the gratuitous nudity revolving his character as he pointed out his 'character, from start to finish, is ridiculous and the type of person who absolutely would walk around his room naked without a care in the world.' 'He's the guy who, whenever he sees a girl at the pool, he's going to flirt with them whether it's a mom or a 22-year-old,' he stressed. In order to accept his part in the series, which was filmed in Thailand over a period of seven months, Patrick pushed back his own wedding to fiancée Abby Champion. After informing his bride-to-be about having to delay their walk down the aisle, Patrick gushed on The Drew Barrymore Show that Champion was very supportive. 'She was so happy,' he said. 'She was ecstatic because she was a huge fan.'

Coronation Street star teases new arrival for one family after plea from fans
Coronation Street's Betsy Swain actress Sydney Martin is very aware about fans' hopes for a new addition to the Swain family, and she's completely backing it for the ITV soap If one Coronation Street favourite gets her way, and viewers, there could be a new addition to the ITV soap. One family in particular could be about to get a new arrival, one cast member is hoping, but who could it be? The family in question is the Swains, amid them forming quite the dynamic with Carla Connor and her household. But could the infamous Swain cat, teased by Betsy Swain in a past scene and then called for by viewers, finally make an appearance? Betsy actress Sydney Martin certainly hopes so, telling The Mirror at the British Soap Awards all about it. While she joked about the origins of the potential feline, which may or may not exist, Sydney confessed she would love to see a cat make an appearance. Her co-star Cait Fitton, who plays Betsy's pal Lauren Bolton, agreed and even offered to play cat sitter. Sydney shared: "Where is the cat? I mentioned a cat and I'm feeling now that it may have been a metaphor. I said something like she loves the cat more than me, so where is the Swain cat? "I hope one day it makes an appearance." Cait then backed this saying: "We can get a cat. We can bring it onto set and go there's the cat." In terms of what to call the hypothetical pet, we suggested Bauren - the name Cait and Sydney gave their characters Betsy and Lauren's budding friendship. Rather hilariously, Cait thought we said "Warren" so that could be the winner here. The actress is very keen to help look after the Swain cat though, while she did point out a potential problem. Offering to cat sit for the family, she said: "I'll cat sit unless Frankie is allergic to cats, cos then I can't." As we later spoke with Sydney about the growing family dynamic with Lisa, Betsy, Carla and others, Sydney vowed it would keep "growing". Of course the hypothetical cat was mentioned once more, with her saying: "It's growing... and a cat. I haven't forgotten the cat." Sydney also praised Corrie boss Kate Brooks for developing strong families and friendships, which she said was key to the ITV soap. Speaking of her own onscreen family, she shared: "It's a beautiful dynamic and it works so well." Asked what was ahead for her character, Sydney confessed she doesn't even ask bosses what's on the way. She joked: "We don't ask we just go with the flow, it's like 'what are we doing next week?'." With the crossover with Emmerdale coming up too, Cait reckons Lauren wouldn't fit in in the Dales, but she'd love to see Cain Dingle have it out with David Platt. Cait also revealed that the stuff with Lauren and Betsy almost didn't happen. Corrie boss Kate added it into an episode as a trial run not knowing what to expect, but soon it proved to be a hit and Kate "loved it".

New Netflix show with 100% Rotten Tomatoes score racks up 23 million views
Sophie-May Williams Published June 2, 2025 3:22pm Link is copied Comments After a busy weekend enjoying the sunshine, you might fancy taking your Monday to Friday evenings a little slower. Specifically, curling up on the sofa after work with a cup of coffee and some quality TV. If this sounds like your perfect way to relax, we've got just the thing for you: a binge-worthy new Netflix drama that has just received a no-notes 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, with 23 million views since it dropped on the platform (Picture: Netflix) Secrets We Keep is a Netflix original Danish mystery thriller, starring Marie Bach Hansen, Excel Busano, and Danica Ćurčić, to name a few. Without giving too much away, it taps into the twisted world of the wealthy - similar to shows like The White Lotus, Perfect Strangers and Sirens - while maintaining a more realistic edge. In a little more detail, viewers watch Cecilie, a rich executive living in an affluent Copenhagen suburb, search for Ruby, a missing au pair from the Philippines. When Ruby suddenly vanishes without a trace, Cecilie becomes suspicious, convinced that sinister circumstances are at play. Especially when the police don't make the case a priority (Picture: Netflix) When Cecilie fails to spark interest from the authorities, she decides to take matters into her own hands and search for Ruby. Alongside her own au pair, Angel, who is close friends with Ruby, the amateur investigators soon uncover dark family secrets - some of which are a little too close to home for Cecilie, who is forced to confront the people she thought were her family and friends. At its core, Secrets We Keep is a deep dive into a missing person's case involving the ultra-wealthy who, because they have all the money in the world, think that they can get away with the darkest of crimes. While the show isn't based on a true story, it does showcase Denmark's au pair culture (Picture: Netflix) Ingeborg Topsøe, the show's creator, went into detail about this aspect with Netflix's Tudum. She said: 'I've always been fascinated by the power structures within a family. Few people associate Denmark with such 'Upstairs, Downstairs' homes. Denmark is often portrayed as a very egalitarian society, and I've never seen homes like these portrayed on TV. Perhaps it's a reality we don't want to acknowledge the existence of …. Au pairs are "part of the family", while being employed, and parents are well-meaning, while absent. It's these cold, hard facts — hidden beneath a soft layer of niceness — that intrigues me' (Picture: Netflix) After watching the six-episode limited series, fans and critics alike have been raving about the quality of the show on Rotten Tomatoes. Joel Keller from Decider described it as a thriller that 'doesn't try to distract viewers by sending them down too many dead ends.' Rather, it 'tells a story about class, race and wealth in the process.' Juan Pablo Russo from EscribiendoCine said the series manages to 'naturally inject questions about privilege, the racialisation of domestic work, and individual responsibility in the face of systems that benefit some at the expense of others' (Picture: Netflix) Kshitij Rawat from Lifestyle Asia wrote that Secrets We Keep 'uses the familiar tropes of suburban mysteries (missing girls, tight-knit communities, smug rich people, pristine lawns hiding rotting secrets) but twists them into something far more intimate and morally disquieting.' Samuel R. Murrian, a critic from Collider, compared it to 'this year's most zeitgeisty hits Adolescence and The White Lotus.' However, the critic suggested that Topsøe and the actors 'handle its dark material even better' (Picture: Netflix) Pramit Chatterjee from Digital Mafia Talkies agreed, calling it 'essential viewing for all,' and a 'fantastic companion piece to Adolescence.' Finally, Archie Sengupta from said: 'Secrets We Keep holds on to your attention from the first episode, and its twists and turns are nothing short of thrilling' (Picture: Netflix) It wasn't just critics showering the show with faultless reviews, either. The Popcornmeter, which houses viewer testimonials, received a respectable 76%. With over 100+ ratings, it was described as 'one of the best mystery productions in years,' and 'brilliant in every way.' Other notable reviews included: 'An emotional drama that clearly depicts the power of the ultra-wealthy and their shameless treatment of those hired to serve them.' Plus, another labelled it 'one of the most thought-provoking, brutally realistic, and emotionally gripping series I've ever seen' (Picture: Netflix) Possible Secrets We Keep spoilers ahead: Many commended the ending as well. Usually, viewers can be quite harsh when it comes to finales, often dubbing them as frustrating or lazy. However, Secrets We Keep experienced the opposite, demanding attention right until the very end. Perhaps the most thought-provoking comment in this respect comes from a viewer called Chris, who said: 'It's an amazing story with an ending that will blow you away. In truth the ending is the biggest problem with the series because it ended the way a story like this would end in real life. It's heartbreakingly honest and real' (Picture: Netflix) As for the negative reviews? They're far and few between. The majority aren't even that bad, either, just a few complaints that the perpetrators didn't get what they deserved. But if you want to make that call for yourself, we only have one suggestion: cancel your viewing plans and watch Secrets We Keep instead. By the fan and critics' reaction so far, you won't regret it. Secrets We Keep is now streaming on Netflix (Picture: Netflix)
