Sydney Sweeney has finally spoken out about long-running rumors linking her romantically to her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell, describing the speculation as “unfounded” and media-driven.

In a recent interview, the Emmy-nominated actress offered rare insight into her private life, clarifying that her connection with Powell stems from mutual respect and friendship rather than romance.

“Our dynamic was beautiful,” Sweeney said, adding that their chemistry came from genuine care for one another as colleagues and friends.

Rumors sparked by onscreen chemistry

The romance rumors began circulating after the duo’s electric chemistry in the 2023 rom-com Anyone But You. Their playful interactions during the film’s promotional tour only fueled speculation of an off-screen romance.

Glen Powell himself admitted during promotions that they might have “leaned into” the buzz as part of the film’s marketing campaign — though both stars consistently denied any romantic involvement.

Media “cultivated” speculation

Sweeney suggested that much of the gossip was shaped by tabloid narratives rather than reality. “The media cultivated most of that speculation,” she noted, emphasizing that their relationship has always been grounded in friendship and professionalism.

According to a Daily Mail report, sources close to the actors described them as “just close friends” who share the same sense of humor, adding that while they get along exceptionally well, there’s “no romance right now.”

As her Hollywood profile continues to rise, Sweeney appears keen on redirecting attention from her personal life to her body of work. The Euphoria and Immaculate star has several upcoming projects in development, underscoring her growing influence in both acting and production.
