Glen Powell‘s ex-girlfriend Gigi Paris has FINALLY spoken out about his rumored affair with Sydney Sweeney!
In Tuesday’s episode of Emma Klipstein‘s Too Much podcast, the model broke her silence on her messy split back in 2023 while Anyone But You was filming — and what she thinks about the ongoing romance rumors!
As you’ll recall, dating speculation blew up while Glen and Syd were working on the romantic comedy and throughout the promotional tour. They really leaned into the rumors, too — until one day they came out and claimed the chemistry was all fake to hype up the movie! But was it? And what was the thing that finally broke Glen’s relationship? Gigi is spilling all the tea — and it’s piping hot!

While Gigi didn’t name either the Euphoria star or her ex, it was clear who she was talking about when she reflected on that difficult time, saying:
“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**k?’ 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.”
Gigi added that the most frustrating part of it all was that Glen wouldn’t give her the “respect” she deserved:
“I just wanted respect, especially if it’s gonna be public. Like, don’t make an ass out of me. Like, just don’t make a fool out of someone you’ve been with for over three years talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know? And at the end of the day, it was like, well, work comes first. And if that’s the case, power to you, that’s your priority. I gotta walk away. What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs.”
Oof. That’s terrible! Especially considering they’d been linked since 2020. This wasn’t a new relationship!
She went on to slam the 36-year-old performer for never speaking out in her defense or shutting down the affair rumors:
“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.”
Yeah, it would’ve been simple to put out a statement — whether or not the internet would’ve believed him is a different thing, but at least Gigi would’ve known he tried! Instead, his silence allowed her to see the Hit Man star’s true colors, she continued:
“It was serving them for their PR. Later on, it turned out that it was all, I don’t know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship. Like, it was just crazy.”
She still doesn’t know?! That’s nuts!!!
But it really does sound like she’s as much in the dark as the rest of us. Gigi shared:
“Just to sell a movie or not, who knows? And I honestly hoped that they’d end up together, because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot.”
When asked if she got any “clarity of whether or not [she] was cheated on,” the model replied:
“I have heard so many different sides of the story. I have no confirmation of what actually happened. I just know what my standards are. And for me, it just wasn’t okay the way it was handled, period.”
She also denied reports that the breakup was also caused by her not enjoying long distance (which was due to his busy work schedule on various sets). So, what was the final straw?? An INSANE phone call!
Gigi said she was set to fly to Australia — where Glen was shooting the movie — to do her own work projects. She, of course, was also looking forward to reconnecting with her boyfriend as “all this s**t was coming out on the internet” by then. But before she flew Down Under, she got an upsetting phone call from her beau:
“I got a phone call from him right when I was about to go to Australia to work.”
She reflected:
“And 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 motherf**ker is done to me.”
Damn, Glenn!!!
Also, let’s not forget Sydney served as an executive producer on the movie… Gigi went on:
“That phone call really is what broke me. I thought we had hope, like, maybe when I got there that, like, things would maybe get better. But once I got that phone call, I just knew it was done. I had lost whoever that person was that I loved.”
However, she still chose to go — only so she could break it off in person!
“I went anyways just to look him in the eye and break up with him. […] It was the hardest thing I’d ever had to do. […] 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.”
WTF.
So, now that Glen and Sydney are yet again stirring up romance rumors amid the Madame Web alum’s breakup from her fiancé Jonathan Davino, what does Gigi have to say?? Surprisingly, she’s still hoping it works out for them:
“Like I said, like, I hope that if they’re meant to be, that they’re meant to be. It’s really none of my business anymore. Like, that’s what I really wanted the end to be, is to just to walk away from that, because it’s a f**king circus. […] Like, the way that they handle things for headlines or whatnot, like, I don’t live that way. So you do you. It’s none of my business anymore.”
This sounds just as messy as it seemed! Listen to the full podcast (below):
