Glen Powell has made an intriguing comment about “timing” following the swirl of romance rumors between him and Sydney Sweeney.
The two stars were recently seen together in Dallas for his sister’s wedding, just days after news broke that Sydney had called off her engagement to Jonathan Davino.
However, Powell didn’t directly address the rumors during his appearance on Today’s Jenna & Friends.
Glen Powell Keeps It Casual and Focuses on Friendship
During the interview, Powell kept things light, focusing on the friendship between Sydney and his sister rather than engaging with the rumors about his relationship with Sydney.
When asked about the wedding causing a stir, Powell responded with a smile, saying, “You know, timing is everything in this world, isn’t it?” This comment seemed to reference both Sydney’s recent breakup and the past romance speculation between the two.
He added that Sydney and his sister, Leslie, are “great friends,” emphasizing how much fun the wedding had been.
“It was just such a fun, rowdy wedding,” Powell remarked, further highlighting how much the family enjoys celebrating together.
Powell’s Wedding Roles and His Bond with Sydney Sweeney
At his sister’s wedding, Powell took on several important roles, including delivering a speech, serving as a groomsman, and even acting as the self-proclaimed “master of ceremonies.” It was clear that Powell was deeply involved in the event, enjoying the festivities alongside family and friends.
While the two stars were seen spending time together in Dallas, a source recently told Us Weekly that there is no romantic relationship between Powell and Sweeney.
According to the source, Sydney had been invited to the wedding by Powell’s sister, and her appearance was simply as a guest.
The source added that Sydney and Powell’s sister have been close friends for a long time and that Sydney had RSVP’d months in advance.
She brought along a girlfriend as her plus-one.
Clearing Up the Romance Rumors from 2023
The speculation about Powell and Sweeney’s relationship is nothing new.
Back in 2023, the two were linked while promoting their film Anyone But You, but they denied any romantic involvement.
Powell explained in a previous interview that their chemistry in the film was real, but that it didn’t translate into a real-life romance.
“I don’t have the mental capacity to pull anything like this off, but she’s very smart,” he said, speaking about his co-star.
“In terms of actual dating and actually being together? [Laughs.]”
During that time, Powell had also recently split from his girlfriend, Gigi Paris, and explained how difficult it was to juggle the emotional fallout of a breakup while on a promotional tour.
“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 said.
Sydney Sweeney’s Breakup with Jonathan Davino
Sydney Sweeney’s personal life has recently been the subject of attention, particularly her breakup with Jonathan Davino.
The couple, who had been together since 2018, had been engaged since 2022.
However, Sweeney reportedly called off their wedding plans due to “major issues.”
It was also revealed that they had been separated since January, with a source telling People that the relationship had been “rocky for a long time.”
The actress has been focusing heavily on her career, and a source close to her revealed that she’s excited about the opportunities she has coming up.
“She’s all about working right now and very excited about all her projects,” the insider said.
Despite the breakup, the source clarified that Sweeney and Davino’s split wasn’t due to a lack of love but rather her desire to concentrate on her career. “She’s not ready to settle down,” they explained.
Sydney Sweeney Chooses Career Over Wedding
While Sweeney had previously been focused on her upcoming wedding, she ultimately felt that it wasn’t the right time to walk down the aisle.
The source said, “She didn’t feel right about it,” and wanted to focus on her “magical career.”
This decision marked a clear shift in her priorities, as she acknowledged that she wasn’t ready for that kind of commitment at this stage in her life.
As the actress moves forward with her career, she remains determined to stay true to her dreams and pursue the opportunities that excite her.
It’s clear that, for now, Sydney is putting her personal goals first, even if that means taking a break from relationships.
