Gigi Paris doesn’t want anything to get twisted.
Two years following the conclusion of her relationship with Glen Powell, primarily because of escalating rumors surrounding his romantic entanglements with his co-star, Sydney Sweeney, Gigi has finally spoken out about their separation. During the promotion of their film “Anyone But You,” she revealed that this tour played a significant part in the dissolution of their relationship (without explicitly naming either Glen nor Sydney).
She explained during her interview on the June 10 episode of the “Too Much” podcast, “I had two paths. I could feign compliance and leave people questioning if we were together, if I was alright with this situation, or whatnot. Or, I could assert myself and walk away because I wasn’t okay with it. So, I chose the latter.
She added, “I was shattered.”
Gigi, who had been in a three-year relationship with the star of Top Gun Maverick before their breakup in April 2023, later revealed that she and Glen experienced problems earlier on, which predates the public scrutiny surrounding his connection to Sydney. She admitted that even with all the speculation, the entire situation took her by surprise.
She clarified that she sought respect, particularly in a public context. In essence, she asked not to be humiliated or embarrassed. After three years together, discussing forever, it was important for her partner to show some consideration and dignity. Fundamentally, she desired decency, and when work took precedence over the relationship, she found it necessary to part ways. If work is one’s top priority, that’s understandable; her choice was to walk away.
The 32-year-old remarked, “It was poorly managed, and I felt like I was thrown to the wolves.
Gigi additionally voiced her disappointments over her ex not clarifying his situation with his co-star regarding their relationship. She questioned, “Why don’t you speak up when the opportunity presents itself, and simply state, ‘No, I wouldn’t cheat on my girlfriend. That isn’t something I would do.’ Such a statement was all that was necessary. Yet, it wasn’t made.
Additionally, she pointed out that the open flirting between Glen and Sydney during their promotion of “Anyone But You” appeared to be driven by public relations strategies.
In the end, it seemed that everything was merely a publicity stunt, possibly involving us, although I’m unsure about the connection, if any. However, they eventually admitted it was all for promotional purposes, leaving me amazed and bewildered, Gigi expressed. It was truly mind-boggling.
She added, “Perhaps just for the sake of making a film, who can tell? Honestly, I wished they’d wind up as a couple since it would have given their story some meaning for me. Ideally, I wish they were in a loving relationship or something similar.
Responding to Emma Klipstein’s question about the rumors, Gigi said, “I’ve heard numerous versions of this story, but I don’t have any solid evidence as to what truly transpired. All I can say is that I hold myself to certain standards, and in this case, I felt the way it was managed was not acceptable under any circumstances.
TopMob News has reached out to reps for Sydney and Glen for comment but has not yet heard back.
After the gossip spread around, it was found that both Glen and Sydney, who were together with Jonathan Davino before breaking up in March, later admitted that they fueled the rumors to boost the publicity for their upcoming romantic comedy.
According to Glen, who shared this with The New York Times in April 2024, “To make a successful romantic comedy, you need two key elements: enjoyable moments and genuine chemistry. Luckily, Sydney and I share an abundance of both fun times and natural chemistry. This is the allure of what’s happening on screen extending off screen, and sometimes you simply have to embrace it—and it turned out beautifully. Sydney is incredibly intelligent.

In an ideal scenario as envisioned by Emma, the Harry Potter series might have featured a romantic relationship between Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, subtly hinted at off-screen. The actress has openly shared that she harbored a deep affection for her co-star with platinum hair.
During the recent Harry Potter 20th anniversary special, Emma revealed that she developed feelings for Tom during the filming of their first movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone, where they worked together.
She shared during the reunion that she would check his number daily on the call sheet (which was No. 7), and finding his name there made it an even more thrilling day. He was three years senior to her, so for him, she was like a younger sibling to him.
Following the airing of the special, enthusiasts of the show swiftly flooded the internet with their hopes that the long-standing companions might develop a deeper relationship.
In an interview with British Vogue, Emma clarified the online speculation about their relationship and confirmed that they are just good friends. She mentioned they often talk and find their friendship endearing.
The one where Ross and Rachel were almost each other’s lobsters in real-life.
During HBO Max’s Friends reunion last year, Jennifer and David, who portrayed one of TV’s most cherished couples, disclosed that the show mirrored real life to some extent during its initial season. “At a certain point, we were both deeply attracted to each other, but it was like two ships passing as one of us was always in a relationship and we never overstepped the boundaries,” David shared. “We maintained respect.” Jennifer then chimed in, “I recall telling David once, ‘It’s going to be such a shame if our first actual kiss happens on national television.’ And as fate would have it, our first kiss took place in that coffee shop.
Instead of experiencing a real-life romance, she clarified that they were expressing all their affection and love towards each other by being deeply invested in the relationship between Ross and Rachel on the show.
One of the most enduring duos in cinema history, fans have long imagined Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as a couple, starting from their film together in 1997’s Titanic. Despite her not sharing a floating door with him during that fateful sinking, they have maintained a strong friendship that continues to this day. Kate recently told The Guardian last year that they are “forever connected.
Over the past two decades, their friendship has blossomed from walking the red carpet together at the 1998 Golden Globes to exchanging affectionate gestures like DiCaprio blowing kisses to Winslet during her emotional speech in 2009. This bond between the close friends has only strengthened, regardless of any icebergs that might have been in their path.
In 2019, when the captivating chemistry between the actor and director in “A Star Is Born” took everyone by surprise, it seemed as if fans were so engrossed in the film’s drama that they failed to notice the off-screen romance between the leading man and Irina Shayk. Simultaneously, the pop star was deeply involved with Christian Carano, a fact that slipped past many of us enamored by the movie magic.
Nevertheless, it became evident that the co-stars shared a strong relationship, as Lady Gaga disclosed that she immediately felt a deep connection with Bradley Cooper, a bond that was forged the moment she set eyes on him.
Absolutely, their closeness was evident when they performed their Oscar-winning song “Shallow” at the awards ceremony in 2019, holding hands on stage, mere days following Lady Gaga’s breakup announcement.
However, after her role in House of Gucci, she swiftly dismissed romance speculations sparked by the performance, explaining to Jimmy Kimmel, “Indeed, people perceived love, and as it turns out, that’s precisely what we intended you to see.
In November 2021, Bradley finally clarified the speculations about his relationship with Irina, stating to The Hollywood Reporter that their performance at the Oscars was merely an act.
He clarified that the characters seem to develop feelings for each other in that particular movie scene. It’s an intense, public moment, like a dramatic revelation happening between them under the spotlight, with thousands of spectators as witnesses… It would have been quite unusual if they were both seated on stage, facing the audience instead.
Ever since they starred alongside each other in “Speed” back in 1994, there have been whispers suggesting Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock were romantically involved off-screen. However, those rumors were never confirmed as Sandra herself denied it in an interview with Esquire magazine, saying, “Nope…but who knows?”. She added, “Keanu’s a guy who I feel like is friends with every woman he’s ever dated. I don’t think there’s anyone who has anything bad to say about him. So maybe we could have made it work. I’m not sure. But we didn’t need to navigate any difficulties together. We just get to grow old gracefully, exchange hats, and meet for dinner while trying to collaborate again. And the more time passes, the more I am in awe of him as a person. If he had hurt me or made me angry, I probably wouldn’t be saying that now.
Nevertheless, this pair, who shared the screen in the 2006 film “The Lake House,” remain good friends. Sandra praises Keanu’s ability to listen as one of his most admirable qualities.
The actress from Miss Congeniality reminisced that approximately a year after filming Speed, she shared with her co-star in a casual conversation that she had never tried champagne or truffles. A short while later, as she shared, Keanu personally brought these two items (along with flowers) to her doorstep. He explained his gesture by saying, “I thought you might want to sample champagne and truffles, so you could experience what they’re like.
Moviegoers adore the chemistry between these two actors following their appearances as romantic leads in three films, one of which is “La La Land.
Despite not having a romantic relationship off-screen, working together strengthened an intimate friendship between the two actors. At the 2018 Telluride Film Festival Q&A session, Emma Watson, the star of Cruella, shared her deep affection for Ryan Reynolds and the profound influence he had on her life and career. Addressing him as a “precious, wonderful friend,” she expressed that she couldn’t fathom her life without Ryan, further stating that he was extraordinary, which left her emotional.
Prior to the release of “La La Land” in 2016, Emma playfully mentioned to TopMob News about the number of movies she and Ryan have worked on together, saying, “Now he has a restraining order against me due to our frequent collaborations.
In terms of their working relationship, Ryan expressed that it was fantastic to collaborate with Emma. He added that they both thrive when working together because familiarity allows them to aid each other in ways that wouldn’t be possible among strangers.
Jim and Pam from “The Office” are among the most cherished TV pairs ever, as viewers eagerly supported their relationship as employees at Dunder Mifflin during the show’s successful 9-year span on NBC.
During his time on Jam’s show, there was no development of a romantic relationship between John and Jenna off-screen, although he did acknowledge that the two shared “genuine chemistry” during an interview on Watch What Happens Live in 2016 when a caller asked about their closeness.
Jenna said, “There’s a true aspect of me that is similar to Pam, and there’s a genuine part of him that resembles Jim. These parts of us genuinely loved each other deeply. However, in reality, neither of us fully embodies our characters, so we weren’t the ideal match. He was like a long-term spouse for me, my partner, and our bond will remain strong because of it.
Later, John shared his thoughts on the sensational remarks made by his co-star, expressing to The Daily Beast, “We both find it an immense privilege to be a part of that relationship. Regarding how she was reported as saying we were ‘truly in love,’ I believe that statement was greatly misconstrued and I feel sorry for her.
We’ll always have the teapot.
Ever since I became a die-hard fan of Bradley Cooper, it’s not just me who’s noticed that he’s been linked romantically to his co-stars in the media – take Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, for instance. For years now, their on-screen chemistry has fueled speculation about their relationship off-screen.
Indeed, in 2015, Bradley was questioned by Howard Stern about when they would be intimate. Stern asked, “When will you two make love? Everyone is eagerly anticipating it.” However, Bradley promptly replied, “Never. It’s simply not our way of relating.
At the 2013 Golden Globes, when Entertainment Tonight inquired if there were romantic feelings between them, Bradley playfully denied it, saying, “Wow, that’s quite amusing. Absolutely not, no.
Back in 2006, when they starred together in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” sparks flew, and little did we know that this on-screen chemistry would ignite a fierce fandom hoping for their real-life romance. Alas, it was not meant to be.
During a chat with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM program in October 2020, Matthew expressed that the idea of dating one of his well-known colleagues had never held any allure for him.
He mentioned that he’s consistently aimed for a professional work environment, and he’s pleased to say that everyone he collaborated with managed this effectively. Occasionally, there might have been feelings beyond friendship, but these were never allowed to interfere with the professional aspect of their relationship.
And with that, the chance for their love to blossom died, just like that love fern.
These top-tier friends, known for an extraordinary camaraderie on screen (like in Ocean’s Eleven), have carried this bond off screen in a strictly non-romantic manner. Their interviews brimming with laughter and heartfelt public appearances speak volumes, as does the fact that George has generously lent his esteemed Lake Como property for the Roberts-Moder family’s anniversary celebrations. No big deal!
Every New Year’s Eve when the ball drops, there’s usually speculation about whether CNN’s co-hosts for Live From Times Square have ever been romantic partners.
When Andy appeared on Howard Stern’s radio show, he was questioned about his feelings for Anderson Cooper. Regarding falling in love with him, Andy stated, “Our friendship is the focus of our relationship, not romantic attraction. We’ve known each other quite well, and at this stage, I don’t see us having romantic feelings towards one another.
Funnily enough, the pair first met when they were set up on a blind date over 25 years ago.
In 2017, Anderson mentioned on The Tonight Show that it’s common for straight people, when they know two gay men, to suggest they meet. He further explained that when he had a phone call to set up a date with Andy Cohen, he realized within 45 seconds that he wouldn’t be going on a date with him.
He clarified that Andy breached an essential rule regarding dating the CNN host by inquiring about Anderson’s mother, specifically, Gloria Vanderbilt.
“I wanted to date the Vanderbilt boy!” Andy admitted. “I was excited!”
In the making of the 2009 indie romantic comedy (500) Days of Summer, Zooey expressed they had a lot of fun. However, Joseph confessed in a 2012 interview with Playboy that dating his co-star and longtime friend would feel uncomfortable.
He finds it amusing, he mentioned, that fans hope they are a couple. Indeed, it seems comical to him, as they have been friends for a decade.
Prior to the public announcement of their relationship, there were whispers that the star of High School Musical might have been dating his co-star Vanessa Hudgens’ mutual best friend Ashley. His 2006 role as her romantic interest in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody seemed to fan those rumors further.
To this day, Zac and Ashley continue to maintain a strong bond, with Ashley referring to him as her “brother” or “dearest friend.” However, during an interview with Elle magazine, she labeled one of Zac’s onscreen kisss as the worst.
She clarified that it was particularly difficult for her because he felt more like a sibling, and at that moment, he was accustomed to working with Warner Bros., which is associated with the CW network, whereas they were working for Disney Channel.
Afterward, she confronted him for attempting to kiss her forcefully with his lips, which led her to exclaim, “‘Keep your distance from me!’
Ashley exclaimed, “I shut my mouth so quickly. It felt like saying, ‘This isn’t typical on Disney Channel with such intense kissing!'” She reminisced, “It was strange to be so near someone, considering we had already made a movie together and I’d known him for quite some time. That’s what made it the most uncomfortable – we were just too familiar.
In the world of High School Musical, Chad and Taylor portrayed an on-screen teenage couple, whereas Corbin and Monique exited the Disney series maintaining a lifelong camaraderie.
In the 2021 Lifetime Christmas film “A Christmas Dance Reunion,” the pair reconnected on-camera. Corbin expressed his delight about this on Instagram: “Working and dancing with you again after 13 years was like returning home. It’s been a dream of mine to star in a Lifetime Christmas movie, and I honestly never imagined I’d have the chance to act alongside one of my dearest friends.
Monique expresses her desire to keep collaborating with a cherished friend, sharing with People magazine, “I truly hope we get the chance to work on more projects because our connection reminds me of iconic duos like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, and many others. I believe we have similar potential, and I’d love to see it unfold.
Although they portrayed one of television’s most memorable ‘will-they-or-won’t-they’ pairs on “The X-Files”, it is said that the actors had a strained relationship during the production of their popular Fox series.
Back in 2008, I openly confessed to Metro UK that Gillian and I frequently clashed during the first eight years of our series due to a common issue: familiarity can lead to disdain. It wasn’t about the other person; instead, we found ourselves quarreling over trivial matters, and our feelings towards each other deteriorated to the point where we couldn’t bear the sight of one another.
As a die-hard X-Files enthusiast, I couldn’t help but fuel the speculation that Mulder and Scully should be more than just partners in crime-fighting. The photo of their May 2021 lunch date that went viral only added fuel to the fire, leaving me and many others grinning ear to ear, much to David’s delight.
In his conversation with People, he shared, “Just as I was about to depart, she suggested we snap a picture. It turned out there was quite a response to it! I rarely encounter such reactions, but it’s truly fascinating to see people still engaged after so many years.
Avengers shippers, assemble!
Since their initial collaboration in the 2004 film “The Perfect Score”, these superhero actors have been part of eight movies together. Despite this prolonged professional relationship, they’ve never dated off-screen. However, Scarlett and Chris have built a strong familiarity and comfort with each other throughout the years.
Johansson expressed, during an interview with Entertainment Weekly in March 2020, that the strong connection between them was built over a decade of knowing each other and developing a deep, personal bond – something she believes comes from spending extensive time together and understanding their most vulnerable aspects.
