During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Sydney Sweeney, the blonde bombshell, 27, took the time to praise her former co-star, Glen Powell, 36, and his connections in the industry. Earlier this year, Sweeney appeared on Tate McCrae’s song Miss Possessive – a gig Powell helped her land.
Sweeney expressed her admiration for Tate McCrae, saying, “I’ve been a huge fan of her music. I think she’s so beyond talented. She’s so hot.” She also shared how Powell connected her with McCrae, saying, “Yeah, uh and Glen actually connected me with her. He was like, ‘hey, Tate wants me to connect you two. Can I give her your number?’ I said ‘yeah, sure.’ So, he put us in contact and then she reached out and was like, ‘hey, I really would love to sample your voice for a portion of my song and my new album. Would you be down?’ I’m like ‘hell yes.’ Yeah. It’s so cool.”
Earlier this week, Paris sat down with Emma Klipstein for a very honest conversation about her public split with the actor on her Too Much podcast. During the episode, Paris addressed the nonstop rumors about an alleged affair that was occurring while Powell and Sweeney were filming together.
While not naming Powell or Sweeney, Paris explained about the ongoing rumors: “It was just, this is what I have to do for my job. I had two options. 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 okay with this? What the f—?’ Or stand up for myself and say, ‘No, I’m actually not okay with this, and I’m walking away.’ So that’s what I decided to do … I was shattered.” Paris criticized Powell for not shutting down the rumors at the time and said, “Where are you when you just need to stand up and say, ‘No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn’t do that.’ That’s all that needed to be said. And that wasn’t said … Never once.”
At the time of the alleged affair, Sydney Sweeney was engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Jonathan Davino, 41, whom she publicly confirmed her split from this May after months of breakup rumors. Rumors of a split began in February 2025, after Sweeney was spotted without her engagement ring. In an interview with The Times back in May, the actress confirmed that she and Davino broke up three years after they got engaged. When asked if she was single, Sweeney replied: “Yes. I’m learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I’m loving it.”
