When Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney were filming and promoting Anyone But You, everyone on the internet thought they were having an affair — and that was by design. At the time, Glen was in a serious relationship with model Gigi Paris, and Sydney was still engaged to film producer Jonathan Davino. But the costars used the rumors to their advantage while promoting the comedy. “Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry,” Glen explained to The New York Times in April 2024. “That’s people wanting what’s on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully.” Messy indeed.

Glen and his ex, Gigi, broke up in April 2023 amid all the Sydney affair rumors. Years after the drama, Gigi casually decided to spill all the boiling hot tea on an episode of the Too Much podcast. She revealed what really went down and why she broke up with the Hit Man actor: Here are Gigi Paris’ revelations about her Glen Powell breakup and the Sydney Sweeney rumors.

Gigi Paris On Her Breakup With Glen Powell & Those Sydney Sweeney Rumors

Okay, so Gigi technically didn’t name any names during the episode, but it’s extremely obvious who she’s talking about, given the level of detail. (Per the episode summary, she dished on “the very public unraveling of her four-year relationship with a certain A-list celebrity ex.”)

“I was shattered,” the model said about breaking up with Glen post-Sydney affair rumors. She voiced her frustration over feeling disrespected and humiliated. “I just wanted respect, especially if it’s gonna be public,” Gigi said. “Like, don’t make an ass out of me. Don’t make a fool out of someone you’ve been with for over three years, talking about forever with.” She shared that Glen had consistently prioritized his career over their relationship.

“What really hurt was how it was handled,” she reflected. “I felt like I was just fed to the dogs.” Gigi recounted how she had been preparing to fly to Australia to visit Glen while he was filming… only to receive a phone call from him telling her not to come.

Gigi revealed, “He called and said, ‘The producers and I have discussed that I think it’s best that you don’t come to visit’ … And that’s when I hung up. And I was like, this motherfucker is done to me.'” She said that phone call is what “broke” her. “I thought we had hope, like, maybe when I got there that, like, things would maybe get better,” the model remembered. But after that conversation, she knew it was over, and she’d “lost whoever that person was that I loved.”

Gigi still wanted to go to Australia so that she could end things with Glen in person. “I went anyways just to look him in the eye and break up with him,” she said. “But then I was stuck there for two weeks doing my jobs — and there was a rule, like, I was not allowed near set. I was not allowed anywhere near production. It was very bizarre.”

Welp, feeling very relieved that I’ve never stanned Glen.
