Glen Powell Speaks Out on Gigi Paris' 'Narrative': Love and Respect Amid Drama

Scandalous Split: Glen Powell's Cheating Scandal Rocks Hollywood

In a shocking turn of events, actor Glen Powell is making headlines once again for his tumultuous love life. This time, it's not just about his on-screen chemistry with co-star Sydney Sweeney, but about the alleged infidelity that led to his split from ex-girlfriend Gigi Paris.

The couple's breakup was shrouded in mystery, with rumors of Powell's involvement with Sweeney swirling around them like a tornado. But what really went down behind closed doors? We're diving into the juicy details of their split and the aftermath, and trust us, it's about to get messy.

Powell, 36, and Paris, 32, had been together for over three years when the rumors started circulating. The actor was already making waves with his chemistry-filled scenes in the romantic comedy "Anyone But You" opposite Sweeney, 27. While they both denied any romantic involvement at first, it soon became clear that their relationship was a publicity stunt to boost the film's box office numbers.

In an interview with GQ magazine, Powell confessed that he and Sweeney had deliberately fanned the flames of romance rumors to promote the movie. But what about Paris? Did she know what was going on behind her back? The model-turned-actress claimed she felt "blindsided" and "shattered" when she found out about the affair rumors.

"I couldn't believe he would do something like that," Paris said in a June 2025 interview with Too Much podcast. "I felt like I was just fed to the dogs, like: 'Good luck. You handle this.'"

Paris revealed that Powell had waved away her concerns by saying, "This is what I have to do for my job." She claimed she felt disrespected and wanted a public statement from him denying the affair rumors. But instead, Powell gave Sweeney all the credit for using their alleged romance to fuel publicity.

"I don't have the mental capacity to pull anything like this off, but she's very smart," Powell said in an interview with Business Insider. "I had such a wonderful journey with her on this thing... But in terms of actual dating and actually being together?"

Powell laughed it off, saying he was going through a real breakup amidst the promotional tour. Sweeney, on the other hand, was already engaged to her longtime boyfriend Jonathan Davino, 41. But don't be fooled – she's been very active in promoting their alleged romance as well.

"I was in text group chats," Sweeney boasted. "I was probably keeping everybody over at Sony marketing and distribution awake at night because I couldn’t stop with ideas."

But what about the aftermath of Powell's split from Paris? It seems like he's trying to distance himself from the scandal, citing advice from none other than A-lister Tom Cruise.

"Tom told me it’s going to get really loud," Powell said. "It’s your job to just turn the volume down. Just remember you have your hand on that switch. You have your hand on the ability to turn up that noise or turn it down."

Powell's star is rising, and he's taking steps to keep his reputation intact. But will this scandal ever be fully put behind him? Only time will tell.

As for Paris, she's moving on from the heartbreak, but not before speaking out about her experience. "I just wanted respect," she said. "Especially if it’s gonna be public, like don’t make an a** out of me."

The model-turned-actress claimed she felt "shattered" by Powell's actions and wants to raise awareness about the importance of respect in relationships.

"I know that I deserve a lot better, and I know that the bare minimum of any relationship is to have your partner’s back, period," Paris 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."

The aftermath of Powell's scandal has left fans wondering if he'll ever be able to regain their trust. Only time will tell if this Hollywood heartthrob can bounce back from the cheater label.
