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.'

Internet feels sorry for Glen Powell's ex Gigi who claims she was ‘fed to dogs' to fuel Sydney Sweeney romance buzz
Glen Powell's former girlfriend Gigi Paris has broken her silence about their tumultuous split, accusing the actor of disrespecting her amidst swirling rumours of a romance with his Anyone But You co-star, Sydney Sweeney. Also read: Glen Powell addresses romance rumours with Sydney Sweeney after attending his sister's wedding together Gigi Paris spoke about her highly publicised split from Glen more than two years later. She joined influencer Emma Klipstein in a recent episode of her Too Much podcast, and spoke about the rumours that Glen was dating his Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney. While she didn't name the actors, the podcast is billed as Gigi Paris talking about 'the very public unravelling of her four-year relationship with a certain A-list celebrity ex'. Opening up about the romance rumours, Gigi Paris said, 'It was just, this is what I have to do for my job. I had two options. 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 okay with this? 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 ... I was shattered." She 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? And at the end of the day, work comes first. And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I gotta walk away. What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs." During her podcast appearance, she shared that she decided to walk away from the relationship once she sensed that no one was interested in bringing clarity to the romance rumours. She also narrated a story about flying to Australia, where Anyone But You was filmed, and alleged that she was then told not to visit the set. She claimed that the buzz was 'serving them for their PR', adding that she doesn't know if Glen ever dated Sydney or not. The revelation by Glen's former girlfriend has triggered a whirlwind of reactions among fans on social media, including Reddit, who are now eagerly awaiting Glen and Sydney's response, while questioning what's real and what's scripted. One wrote, 'Honestly, she's right. Even if it wasn't true, egging it on is immensely disrespectful to their partner. That's why I absolutely hate the 'omggg so much chemistry they're obviously hooking up!' Social media cr**. These aren't TV characters these are real people with real relationships.' 'All she's asking for in this is her partner of three years to say SOMETHING. Then for him to want to continue to fuel rumours by not having her visit.... I feel for her. But it's great to see she was strong enough to leave. It had to be so hard,' mentioned one, with another exclaiming, 'I'm glad to hear her side and see it getting attention, because the public (including this sub…) can kinda egg on the 'are they, aren't they' PR stunts where movie/tv show love interests toe the line of professionalism to get people talking, and I've always felt it was disrespectful to their partner'. 'Wow. Definitely makes me think of him differently. I get it's your job and they do what they can to gain media attention to promote the movie but you don't have to put aside your morals and values. Three years she was with him and still couldn't acknowledge it,' read one comment. Another read, 'Wow. F**k him. The whole thing sounds brutal but especially that phone call. The producers decided you shouldn't visit so people can keep thinking I'm f**king my costar'. During the promotional tour of Anyone But You in April 2023, Glen and Sydney's chemistry made many wonder whether the two were dating. Sydney was directly involved in the marketing of Anyone But You as a producer on the film. Some months later, Sydney addressed the romance rumours during an interview with Variety. She said, 'It's a rom-com. That's what people want!. Glen and I don't really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he's such a hard worker, and I'm a hard worker. They want it. It's fun to give it to 'em'. Earlier this year, Glen and Sydney were spotted together at Dallas restaurant Joe Leo Fine Tex Mex and then at Leslie's wedding, making people wonder if they are dating. The outing came days after Sydney called off her wedding to Jonathan Davino.

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.

Glen Powell's ‘shattered' ex blasts actor, Sydney Sweeney over romance ‘PR scheme'
Glen Powell's ex-girlfriend was 'shattered' by manufactured romance rumours that swirled between the actor and his Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney. Gigi Paris reflected on her decision to end things with Powell after he and Sweeney were spotted looking flirty on the set of the 2023 romcom during the latest episode of the Too Much podcast. 'It was just, 'This is what I have to do for my job.' I had two options,' she said. '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 f**k?'' The model said her other option was to 'stand up for [herself].' '[I could] say, 'No, I'm actually not OK with this, and I'm walking away,'' she continued. 'So that's what I decided to do.' Paris, 32, recalled feeling 'shattered' when whispers of a romance between the Euphoria star, 27, and Powell, 36, hit the rumour mill. 'I just wanted respect, especially if it's gonna be public,' Paris said. 'Like, don't make an ass out of me. Like, 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?' Paris slammed Powell for deciding not to shut down the romance rumours. '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. And that wasn't said. Never once,' she recalled. Paris claimed that Sweeney and Powell were leaning into the gossip because it was 'serving them for their PR' for their movie. '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. Like, it was just crazy,' she said. While Paris acknowledged that 'work comes first' for Powell, it was too much for her and she felt that she had to 'walk away.' 'What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs,' she confessed. Paris joked that she 'hoped that they'd end up together,' like the fans wanted. 'Because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot,' she said. Paris further claimed that Powell dumped her over the phone while he was on location in Australia for the movie. 'I got a phone call from him right when I was about to go to Australia to work — all this s**t was coming out on the Internet,' she remembered, referring to the rumours between Powell and Sweeney. 'And he called and said, 'The producers and I have discussed that I think it's best that you don't come to visit.' … And that's when I hung up. And I was like, 'This motherf**ker is done to me,'' she said. Paris fell apart after their call, acknowledging that it was in that moment that she realised their relationship wouldn't make it. 'I thought we had hope, like, maybe when I got there that, like, things would maybe get better,' she said. 'But once I got that phone call, I just knew it was done. I had lost whoever that person was that I loved.' Powell and Sweeney spurred rumours that they were an item after they were seen looking loved-up on set of the comedy in 2023. At the time, Powell was dating Paris and Sweeney was engaged to Jonathan Davino. However, a source confirmed to Page Six in April 2023 that Paris and Powell broke up weeks before rumours surfaced that he and Sweeney were romantically involved. Paris had hinted at their breakup by unfollowing Powell and Sweeney on Instagram and posting a cryptic message in an Instagram caption, writing, 'Know your worth & onto the next.' Sweeney's relationship also crumbled after her sizzling moments with Powell took the internet by storm, with her and Davino breaking up in March after nearly seven years together.
