Glen Powell’s ex-girlfriend, Gigi Paris, has finally spoken out about their difficult breakup and the swirling rumors linking Glen to his Anyone But You co-star, Sydney Sweeney. The drama unfolded during the film’s promotional tour in April 2023, when many fans speculated about the close chemistry between Glen and Sydney.
Gigi Paris Breaks Her Silence After Two Years
More than two years after their breakup, Gigi Paris appeared on influencer Emma Klipstein’s Too Much podcast to share her side of the story. Although she didn’t name Glen or Sydney directly, it was clear she was talking about her four-year relationship with the A-list actor and the rumors about his closeness with Sydney during the film promotion.
Gigi explained the tough choice she faced: “I had two options. I could either pretend like everything was fine and let people wonder ‘Are they dating? Are they not? Is she okay with this?’ Or I could stand up for myself and say I wasn’t okay with it and walk away. So I chose to walk away. I was shattered.”
She added, “I wanted respect, especially because this was public. Don’t make a fool out of someone you’ve been with for over three years and talked about forever with. Just have some decency. Work is important, sure, but if that’s your priority, then I have to walk away. What hurt most was how it was handled—I felt like I was just thrown to the dogs.”
Hurt and Confused: The Australia Story
Gigi also shared a painful experience from when she flew to Australia, where Anyone But You was being filmed. She claimed she was later told not to visit the film set. According to her, the ongoing rumors were “feeding their PR,” and she confessed she still doesn’t know if Glen and Sydney ever dated for real.
Fans React to Gigi’s Revelations
Gigi’s honest words sparked a flood of reactions online, especially on social media platforms like Reddit. Many fans expressed sympathy for her and criticized how the rumors were handled.
One fan wrote, “Even if it’s not true, encouraging those rumors is disrespectful to the partner. These aren’t just characters; they’re real people with real feelings.” Another said, “She just wants Glen to say something. Instead, the rumors keep getting fueled, and she’s left out. I feel for her. It must have been so hard, but it’s great she found the strength to leave.”
Others commented on the unfairness of using personal relationships for publicity, with one stating, “I respect that it’s part of their job to promote the movie, but you don’t have to lose your morals. Three years together and no acknowledgment—it’s heartbreaking.”
Glen and Sydney Sweeney Address the Romance Rumors
During the Anyone But You press tour, Glen and Sydney’s on-screen and off-screen chemistry fueled the speculation about their relationship. Sydney, who also worked as a producer on the film, addressed the rumors in an interview with Variety, saying, “It’s a rom-com, and people want to believe there’s something more! Glen and I have a lot of fun together and respect each other. We’re both hard workers, and if people want to believe the rumors, that’s their business.”
Adding to the gossip, Glen and Sydney were seen together at a Dallas restaurant and at a wedding earlier this year, shortly after Sydney ended her engagement with Jonathan Davino. These public appearances only added fuel to the dating rumors.
