Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell: A Complete Timeline of Their Friendship and Romance Rumors
Here we go again! Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell are having another go around the rumor mill after Sweeney’s alleged split from fiancĂ© Jonathan Davino.
If this sounds at all familiar, it’s because the Anyone But You costars were at the center of cheating rumors back in summer of 2023 due to a lethal combination of off-screen chemistry, a mysterious breakup, and your standard dose of misogyny. Of course, the dynamic duo had no problem leaning into the narrative to sell tickets to their rom-com, which was loosely based on Shakespeareâs âMuch Ado About Nothing.â
Speculation about the nature of their relationship continued through spring 2024 before dying down as both actors promoted other projects. However, nearly a full year after Sweeney and Powell joked about the drama on Saturday Night Live, their names are back-to-back in headlines once again.
Why? Well, Sweeney was spotted with Powell just days after reports that she called off her wedding to Davino. From the initial rumors to their recent reunion, here’s a complete timeline of Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s friendship with the most recent updates up top.
March 30, 2025: Deuxmoi shares new photos of Sweeney and Powell on Instagram, alongside blind-item reports that former costars are in Dallas for his sister’s wedding. People reports that Powellâs sister Leslie worked on Anyone But You, while sources tell Deuxmoi that Sweeney was personally invited by the bride and groom, who also reportedly worked on the project.
Fans, of course, are being very normal about this. âEVERYONE REMAIN CALM (Iâm not calm),â one fan commented on Deuxmoi’s Instagram, while another wrote, âItâs giving call me when you break up,â referencing the new Selena Gomez song.
March 26, 2025: A source tells Us Weekly that Sweeney and Davino aren’t âfully splitâ but have called off their wedding. âThings are not great right now, but they arenât throwing in the towel yet,” the source says.

A source later tells People that Sweeney and Davino’s relationship has been ârocky for a long time.â
October 3, 2024: Powell describes Sweeney as “a total renaissance womanâ for her Glamour Woman of the Year profile. âIâve never met someone who has an aptitude for so much. But the thing that really makes her a movie star, or a Glamour Woman of the Year, is that sheâs able to effortlessly move through this world and be convincing in all these different things but also maintain her humanity. I think people feel that onscreen. Everybody knows sheâs talented and magnetic and beautiful, and all those things, but I think her heartâs going to be what takes her the distance.â
Later in the profile, he continues, âAs a friend, sheâs so thoughtfulâŠSometimes, the perception of people when theyâre incredibly ambitious or business-minded can be that they neglect other things in their life. Sheâs just the opposite. The people that are in her world, in her court, sheâs known for taking care of them. Sheâs the type of person that remembers birthdays and remembers your favorite dessert and your momâs favorite dessertâŠ. Sheâs just a very thoughtful, very present human being.â

April 23, 2024: Sweeney and Powell say their off-screen antics played out exactly as intended. âThe two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry.

Sydney is very smart.â
Sweeney, an executive producer on the project, was particularly involved in the marketing strategy. âI was on every call. I was in text group chats. I was probably keeping everybody over at Sony marketing and distribution awake at night because I couldnât stop with ideas,â she says. âI wanted to make sure that we were actively having a conversation with the audience as we were promoting this film, because at the end of the day, theyâre the ones who created the entire narrative.â
