Glen Powell’s mother, Cyndy Powell, has set the record straight regarding the ongoing rumors about a romantic relationship between her son and actress Sydney Sweeney. The two starred together in the 2023 romantic comedy Anyone But You, which sparked speculation about their personal lives.
In an interview with Daily Mail, Cyndy clarified that Sweeney, 27, is simply a close family friend and not a romantic partner. She revealed that Sweeney attended her daughter Leslie Powell’s wedding in Texas, and while the two spent time together, Cyndy emphasized that there was no romantic involvement between them. “They’re definitely not together,” Cyndy firmly stated.
Cyndy went on to explain that the Sweeney-Powell connection has always been platonic. She described the Euphoria actress as a dear friend, one who has been part of the Powell family for years. “We love Sydney. We’ve considered her just a really, really good friend. We all were together so much, and we haven’t seen her in a long time. She’s really a friend, and we all enjoy her,” she shared.
The rumors first began circulating when Powell and Sweeney were spotted together filming Anyone But You. The two even joked about the speculation during Sweeney’s SNL monologue. Despite the rumors resurfacing after Sweeney’s recent breakup with her fiancé Jonathan Davino, Cyndy reassured that there was no romantic relationship between the two.
Cyndy also spoke highly of her son, Glen Powell, describing him as a kind and family-oriented person. “He’s the kindest person, and he is so others-oriented. He loves his family; he loves his friends,” she said.
Addressing the potential for a relationship between Glen and Sydney, Cyndy diplomatically stated that it’s ultimately up to her son to decide who he dates. However, she emphasized that her main wish is for him to find someone who truly cares for him. “I just want somebody that loves him unconditionally and he loves unconditionally, and they take care of each other and live happily ever after,” Cyndy said.
On Glen’s current relationship status, Cyndy confirmed that he is focusing on his career and is not actively pursuing a romantic relationship at the moment. However, she added that he values family and hopes to settle down and have a family when the time is right.
