Sydney Sweeney expressed her fondness for her “wonderful” connection with Glen Powell, dispelling any speculation of a romantic link between them.

The actress, who appeared opposite Powell in the 2023 romantic comedy “Anyone But You,” shared with Variety, “Glen and I truly care about each other and hold a deep affection and respect for one another,” in an interview released on Monday.

“I enjoy spending time with him. I believe people genuinely appreciated seeing such a lovely partnership,” Sweeney remarked.

At 28, Sweeney also touched on whether she and Powell, 37, played into the romance rumors while promoting their film directed by Will Gluck.

“Honestly, the media concocted it. There was no deliberate effort on our part,” she told the publication. “Even if we were merely standing close, it was, ‘Look how close they’re standing!'”

The “Euphoria” star shared that she would be open to filming a sequel, saying she and the actor would “jump in hand in hand” if the “concept and script” are right.

“We are always open to it,” Sweeney said.

In 2023, the “White Lotus” star and Powell’s on-set chemistry had fans speculating the duo were romantically involved despite Sweeney being engaged to her now ex-Jonathan Davino and the actor dating his now ex-girlfriend Gigi Paris.

Powell and Paris split during the filming of the movie, further fueling the rumor mill.

Since then, Sweeney has repeatedly denied romance rumors, telling Variety that same year, “Sometimes I feel beat up by it.”

“It’s hard to sit back and watch, and not be able to stand up for yourself,” she added.

Paris, however, recently gave fans an inside look at her split with Powell, admitting that she was “shattered” by his and Sweeney’s alleged romance chatter when she decided to separate from the “Hit Man” star.

“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–k,’” she explained on the “Too Much” podcast in June 2025.

Paris shared that ultimately she had to “stand up for [herself],” adding, “[I could] say, ‘No, I’m actually not OK with this, and I’m walking away. So that’s what I decided to do.”

She also called out Powell for not ever addressing the chatter or saying he “would never cheat on [his] girlfriend.”

“That’s all that needed to be said. And that wasn’t said. Never once,” the influencer continued, saying that her ex and Sweeney leaned into the rumors for PR.

Powell, meanwhile, addressed Paris’ comments in September, telling GQ that “everybody’s always going to have their own narrative on things and all that. And she’s welcome to it.”
