Hilarious moment Sydney Sweeney shoots down rumors of affair with rom-com costar Glen Powell in SNL monologue before pointing out her ‘fiancé’ in the crowd… Glen Powell

Sydney Sweeney hilariously shut down rumors of an “affair” with her rom-com co-star Glen Powell in her SNL monologue by showing off her “fiance” in the crowd.

Rumors surrounding Sweeney, 26, and Powell, 35,’s romance spiraled out of control as the pair filmed Everyone But You together in Australia – with fans saying their off-screen chemistry was undeniable.

The gossip spread even more after news broke that Powell had broken up with his girlfriend of more than three years, model Gigi Paris, in April 2023 – just months after his on-screen romance with Sweeney was filmed.

Despite Powell’s breakup, Sweeney has remained faithful to her fiancé Jonathan Davino, 40, throughout her time working with the Top Gun hunk — and she made sure to let the SNL audience know about it during her opening monologue.

“The craziest rumor I’ve seen is that while I was filming someone other than you, I had an affair with my co-star Glen Powell… That’s clearly not true,” the actress said.

“My fiancé and I produced the film together and he was there for the entire shoot,” she continued.

‘I just want to let everyone know that he is the man of my dreams. And we are still together and stronger than ever. He even came here tonight to support me… can we go see him?’

The camera then panned to an unsuspecting Glen Powell standing in the audience grinning, before Sydney jokingly shouted: “That’s not my fiance, he’s in my dressing room.”

Powell has previously admitted that he and Sweeney agreed to “play up” the dating rumors as publicity for the rom-com.

When asked about their decision to delve into their characters, Ben and Bea, Powell opened up about using their “authentic chemistry” to entice viewers to watch their rom-com.

‘I She doesn’t have the mental capacity to pull something like that off, but she’s very smart. She is very smart,” the Ton Gun: Maverick actor told Business Insider. “I’ve had such an amazing journey with her in this field. But in terms of actually dating and actually being together? [Laughs.]’

As for how their on-screen chemistry and natural rapport during press events may have caused him “a lot of headaches,” the artist acknowledged his breakup with Gigi Paris.

“Well, look, the only reason it became harder for me to dig into that was because I was going through a very real breakup on a promotional tour,” he explained.

Powell continued, “I was with someone I really loved and cared about, and I was trying to understand a lot of things.”

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old pointed out that “it was a lot easier for Sydney to do something like that because she’s in a very committed and great relationship and she’s very happy.”

Powell also admitted that he and Sweeney “love each other” but are not in a romantic relationship.

When asked about their romance on the Today show, Glen and Sydney started giggling, before Glen replied: ‘No, but we do love each other. And honestly, this is one of the most spectacular people I’ve ever met. She’s really great.’

Sydney also shot down the rumors during a tell-all interview with Variety in August.

‘It’s a rom-com. That’s what people want,” she said.

“Glen and I don’t really care. We have so much fun together and we respect each other so much; he’s such a hard worker, and I’m a hard worker.

“We’re excited about the press trip and I literally left ADR with him. We talk all the time.’

Her comments came as a production member working on the film claimed that a number of people on set “thought they were already a couple.”

“I knew him from Top Gun,” they said. ‘But I just assumed they were a couple in real life. This is what it looked like for most of us. And also for some extras.’
