How Sydney Sweeney Really Feels About Those Glen Powell Cheating Rumors

When it came time for "Euphoria" star Sydney Sweeney and "Top Gun: Maverick" actor Glen Powell to start hyping up their new romantic comedy, "Anyone But You," they certainly accomplished their goal of getting people interested in seeing them together. However, all many potential viewers could talk about was the electric off-screen chemistry between the two co-stars.

There was the CinemaCon revelation that Sweeney's nickname for Powell is "Top Gun," per People. "I love when she calls me that," Powell teased when Sweeney playfully used the moniker. And in response to a social media photo of the co-stars with their heads pressed together, one person tweeted, "If you were to ask me 'what is the relationship status of these two?' I would have said maybe engaged." Well, Sweeney is engaged — to entrepreneur Jonathan Davino. But this little detail did nothing to stave off the rampant speculation that Sweeney and Powell had become more than co-stars, especially after People reported that Powell and model Gigi Paris had called it quits. This news broke after Paris reportedly unfollowed Sweeney on Instagram, but an insider insisted that the move had nothing to do with the cheating rumors that Twitter users were finding so captivating. "Gigi only unfollowed Sydney on social media because Sydney never followed her back," the source explained.

Sweeney and Powell kept their lips sealed in response to the drama — and it turns out that there's a good reason for their silence.

Those of you who guessed that Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell's flirtatious behavior was just a publicity stunt, step up and receive your prize: social media bragging rights. In an interview with Variety, Sweeney admitted that the goal was basically to give fans a small taste of what they can expect to see in "Anyone But You." Said the actor, "It's a rom-com. That's what people want!" While some actors' careers have been ruined by infidelity, Sweeney said that she and Powell were both completely unbothered by the cheating rumors, in part because they knew that they were nothing more than social media fanfic. "We talk all the time like, 'That's really funny,'" she shared.

From the sounds of it, fans of the duo will get to witness them pretending to make eyes at each other a lot more in the coming months. "We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he's such a hard worker, and I'm a hard worker. We're excited for the press tour," Sweeney said.

"Anyone But You" hits theaters on December 15, so it will be interesting to see if Sweeney and Powell's calculated coquetry helps the rom-com win big at the box office — or if fans are suffering so severely from flirting fatigue by then that they decide to sit it out.
