Gigi Paris, the former girlfriend of actor Glen Powell, recently opened up about the swirling romance rumors between Powell and his co-star Sydney Sweeney. During an episode of the “Too Much” podcast on June 10, 2025, Paris shared her candid thoughts on how the speculation surrounding their relationship impacted her after her split from Powell.
While Paris did not explicitly name Powell or Sweeney during the podcast, she addressed the speculation that arose while they filmed the romantic comedy “Anyone But You.” The model, 32, expressed her feelings about the situation, revealing that she felt compelled to take a stand for herself amid the public drama.
“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 OK with this? What the f***?’” Paris recalled. “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.”
Paris admitted that she felt “shattered” by how the situation unfolded in the public eye. She emphasized the need for respect, especially given the public nature of their relationship. “I just wanted respect, especially if it’s gonna be public. Like, don’t make an ass out of me. Just have some decency, you know?” she said.
Reflecting on the dynamics of their relationship, Paris expressed disappointment in Powell for not addressing the rumors more forcefully. “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. It was serving them for their PR,” she explained.
The chemistry between Powell and Sweeney was palpable, not only on-screen but also during promotional events for “Anyone But You.” Fans speculated about a possible romance, even while Powell was still dating Paris and Sweeney was engaged to Jonathan Davino, a relationship that has since ended.
Paris recalled a tense phone call with Powell that marked a turning point in their relationship. “I got a phone call from him right when I was about to go to Australia to work — all this s* was coming out on the Internet,” she shared. “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*er is done to me.’”
She described the call as “breaking” for her, as she had hoped their relationship would improve once she arrived in Australia. “I thought we had hope, like, maybe when I got there that, like, things would maybe get better. But once I got that phone call, I just knew it was done,” she added.
Despite the heartbreak, Paris expressed a sense of closure, stating, “Like I said, I hope that if [Glen and Sydney] are meant to be, that they’re meant to be. It’s really none of my business anymore.” She acknowledged the circus-like atmosphere surrounding their lives and reiterated her desire to move on from the situation.
In the wake of the rumors, a source recently told Us Weekly that there is nothing romantic happening between Powell and Sweeney, emphasizing that they are just friends. Powell himself has also denied any romantic involvement, stating, “No, no [romance], but we do love each other. Honestly, this is one of the most spectacular humans I’ve ever met. She’s really incredible.”
As the dust settles on this high-profile love triangle, fans are left to wonder what the future holds for Powell, Sweeney, and Paris. The complexities of celebrity relationships often play out in the public eye, leaving those involved to navigate their personal lives amidst the speculation and scrutiny.
Gigi Paris’s candid remarks shed light on the emotional toll that such public relationships can take and highlight the importance of respect and communication in any partnership. As she continues to move forward, fans hope to see her thrive both personally and professionally, leaving the drama behind.
