'I hope they are in love': Glen Powell's ex blasts actor over PR-fueled Sydney Sweeney romance rumours
Model Gigi Paris is spilling the tea when it comes to the behind-the-scenes drama between the messy Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney (alleged) romance era. Ex-girlfriend to Glen, Gigi appeared on the June 10 episode of the Too Much podcast, hosted by Emma Klipstein. And she minced NO words when it came to decoding the painful slow-burn of the Anyone But You drama. For context, while Glen, Sydney and their red hot chemistry were making their way through filming, the former had been seeing Gigi for about 3 years and the latter had been with her fiance, Jonathan Davino, for about 5 years. Well, the chemistry clearly won, because Gigi and Glen broke up and Sydney called off her engagement. Glen and Sydney's chemistry was melting lens and screens, but Gigi was the one who was feeling the heat — of her then boyfriend's silence. "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 once", she said. While the whole thing being a PR shtick would actually be the softer blow to her, Gigi was absolutely astounded at how her relationship was treated in the process. She said, "(The rumors were) 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. Like, it was just crazy". She even went so far as to say that if Glen and Sydney actually ended up falling in love, the whole drama would still be worth it. She said, "I honestly hoped that they'd end up together, because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot". While that in itself feels like a fat and tough pill to swallow, Gigi's version of the breakup story is a real stinger. Gigi had been on her way to Australia for her own work, though it is also where extensive stretches of Anyone But You was then being filmed. Glen reportedly picked up the phone, essentially asking her come to And that's the phone call that really hammered the reality of the situation in for Gigi. She recalled, "Once I got that phone call, I just knew it was done. I had lost whoever that person was that I loved". A post shared by Too Much Podcast (@emmastoomuch) One good thing? Gigi didn't leave herself hanging in the lurch as Glen allegedly had. "I went anyways just to look him in the eye and break up with was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do". Now while Gigi did try to take some of her power back in the situation, things were pretty weird down-under, given that she had to be in Australia for two weeks. "There was a rule, like, I was not allowed near set. I was not allowed anywhere near production. It was very bizarre", she said. And we agree?!

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.
