Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell Spark Reunion Rumors Amid Breakup Speculation
Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell fueled speculation of a rekindled connection after being spotted together in Dallas, mere days after reports surfaced indicating Sweeney had called off her wedding to fiancé Jonathan Davino. The Euphoria star, 27, and the Top Gun: Maverick actor, 36, who previously ignited romance rumors during the press tour for their romantic comedy Anyone But You, were seen spending time in Texas, as documented in images shared by gossip site DeuxMoi on Instagram.
Dallas Reunion Ignites Fan Frenzy
Sweeney reportedly accompanied Powell to his sister Leslie’s wedding rehearsal dinner at Joe Leo Fine Tex Mex over the weekend. Photographs circulating online show Sweeney and Powell engaging with other attendees at the event.
Brunch with Family, But Powell Absent?
Adding to the intrigue, Sweeney was also seen enjoying brunch with members of Powell’s family on a separate occasion. However, sources indicate that Powell was not present during this particular outing.
Sweeney’s Style and Powell’s Demeanor
In released images, Sweeney is pictured in a chic, fitted, long-sleeved outfit, her blonde hair styled in loose waves. Powell, who relocated to his native Texas last year, was casually dressed in a green polo shirt. He was seen seated at a table, holding a beverage and, at one point, smiled faintly during a conversation.
Dinner Date or Friendly Gathering?
Despite the apparent closeness, an insider speaking to TMZ clarified that Sweeney and Powell did not attend the rehearsal dinner as a couple. This source emphasized that Sweeney was in attendance with her best friend and had RSVP’d to the wedding prior to postponing her nuptials with Davino. The insider further stated that Sweeney maintains a close relationship with Powell’s sister, Leslie, and considers his family to be good friends.
Romance Speculation Fueled by Social Media Activity
This weekend’s reunion follows recent renewed speculation surrounding Sweeney and Powell’s relationship. Sweeney recently shared photographs on her Instagram, notably without her engagement ring, posing on a beach in a printed minidress. Powell was among the millions who “liked” the images.
“Authentic Chemistry” and Past Breakups
Powell previously discussed leveraging their “authentic chemistry” to promote Anyone But You in an interview with Business Insider.
He stated, “I don’t have the mental capacity to pull anything like this off, but she’s very smart. She’s very smart. I had such a wonderful journey with her on this thing. But in terms of actual dating and actually being together? [Laughs.].”
In 2023, Powell also experienced a breakup with his then-girlfriend Gigi Paris. He commented, “Well, look, the only reason it made things harder for me to lean into that stuff was that I was going through a very real breakup amidst a promotional tour. I was with someone that I really loved and cared about and was trying to kind of make sense of a lot of stuff.”
Powell Denies Romantic Involvement in 2023
During a 2023 appearance on the Today show, Powell denied any romantic involvement with Sweeney, stating, “No, but we do love each other. And, honestly, this is one of the most spectacular humans I’ve ever met. She’s really great.”
Wedding Off, But Not Breakup?
Recent reports indicate that Sweeney and Davino have called off their wedding, which was initially planned for May. However, a source informed Us Weekly that while the wedding is postponed, they have not definitively ended their relationship.
The source explained, “Sydney and Jonathan have been having major issues but are not fully split. Things are not great right now, but they aren’t throwing in the towel yet. They are working on their relationship but have called off the wedding for now.”
The insider added, “They were supposed to get married this spring. The wedding is not happening, and they aren’t having further discussions about it. Sydney wanted to cancel everything and couldn’t handle the stress.”
Work Commitments and Relationship Strain
According to the source, “A lot of their issues stem from Sydney being extremely busy with work commitment.” Her demanding schedule reportedly creates “tension” as “Sydney is really focused on her career. Jonathan wishes they were able to spend more quality time together.”
The insider further noted, “Things are also always tense between them when she is promoting a movie because she has to give her full attention to the project… And people always speculate about their relationship and Sydney being close to her costars. It’s a tough dynamic for Jonathan.”
Breakup Speculation Timeline
Breakup rumors initially surfaced earlier this month, approximately a month after reports emerged that the pair had postponed their May wedding. Sweeney was reportedly staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel since mid-February, without Davino. She was instead accompanied by friends and was seen dining at the hotel’s Polo Lounge.
Long-Term Relationship and Past Projects
Sweeney and Davino, who were first linked romantically in 2018 and became engaged in 2022, were last seen together publicly in January in New York City. In February, reports confirmed the postponement of their wedding, possibly due to their demanding work schedules.
In 2023, Sweeney acknowledged her busy schedule impacting wedding planning. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she stated, “I am so busy working! I’m a workaholic and I love it, I love it.” Coincidentally, in April 2024, Sweeney was photographed leaving a bridal shop in Los Angeles.
Both Sweeney and Davino have professional collaborations, notably in the film Anyone But You (2023), which Sweeney co-produced with Davino through her production company, Fifty-Fifty Films.
