Michelle Randolph Addresses Glen Powell Dating Rumors

by

Michelle Randolph will discuss anything—but Glen Powell. 

With ongoing speculation about a romantic relationship between the actresses from Landman and Anyone But You, she’s expressed a desire to keep her private life separate from her work.

She explained to InStyle in a January 15th interview that maintaining a separation between her public image and private self is crucial for her peace of mind. She emphasized that how others see you isn’t necessarily who you truly are.

Despite keeping a low profile, Michelle and Glen were seen together in November at a casual bar in Austin, Texas. A TikTok video showed the two looking affectionate, with Glen dancing closely with Michelle and even spinning her around.

The next month, news outlets reported they were dating casually. They then took several vacations together, including a New Year’s Eve trip to Miami and St. Barts with friends like Miles Teller, Nina Dobrev, and Chord Overstreet.

You know, I always love seeing family support on the red carpet! Glen Powell continued a sweet tradition at the Golden Globes this year – he brought both of his parents, Cyndy Powell and Glen Powell Sr., as his dates. It was lovely to see him bonding with his mom, Cyndy, at the after-party too – such a family-oriented guy! He really values their presence, and it shows.

I was cracking up when I heard him say getting a ‘plus two’ to the Golden Globes used to be tough! He’s 37, and he shared that on Live From TopMob: Golden Globes 2026 at the Beverly Hilton. But he pointed out how common it is now – it’s like everyone brings a date these days, and they’ve become a regular part of the show!

Rumors are circulating about a possible romance between Glen and Michelle, following months of speculation about a potential relationship between Glen and his former co-star, Sydney Sweeney. Sydney recently ended her engagement with Jonathan Davino last year.

Sydney, meanwhile, seems to be dating music executive Scooter Braun and insists she and Glen are just friends, not a couple.

Sydney shared with Variety in October 2025 that she and Glen have a real connection built on love and respect. “I really enjoy spending time with him,” she said, “and I think audiences recognized how well we connected.”

Emma Watson has revealed she had a childhood crush on her Harry Potter co-star, Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy. During the 20th anniversary special, she admitted to falling in love with him while filming Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. She used to check the daily filming schedule hoping to see his name (number 7) listed, making those days extra special. While he saw her more like a little sister, fans quickly began hoping for a real-life romance after hearing her story. However, Emma has clarified that they are just close friends, speaking regularly and finding the fan speculation “sweet.”

Remember how Ross and Rachel seemed like they could have been a couple in real life? During the Friends reunion on HBO Max, Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer – who played the iconic TV couple – revealed there was definitely a mutual attraction during the show’s first season. David explained they both had crushes on each other, but timing never worked out because one of them was always dating someone else. They always respected those boundaries. Jennifer recalled joking with David that it would be funny if their first kiss happened on national television – and it actually did, in the coffee shop! Instead of pursuing a real-life romance, they focused all their affection into their characters, Ross and Rachel.

I’ve been a Leo and Kate fan since Titanic came out in 1996 – I still joke about the door, but honestly, their connection was undeniable! What I love most is that they’ve remained such close friends all these years. Kate even said last year they’re “bonded for life,” and you can really feel it whenever they’re together. I remember watching them at the Golden Globes in ’98, and more recently, seeing Leo blow Kate kisses during her incredibly moving speech in 2009 – it’s clear their bond has only deepened over the last twenty-plus years, and it just warms my heart. They’re truly best friends, and I’m so happy for them!

The strong connection between the actors in the 2019 film A Star Is Born, and the attention they received during interviews and appearances, led many fans to overlook the fact that both were already in relationships. The actor was dating Irina Shayk, and the singer was engaged to Christian Carano at the time.

Despite this, it was obvious that the two co-stars shared a special bond. Lady Gaga even said she felt an immediate connection with Bradley Cooper from the moment she met him.

Their closeness was particularly noticeable during their performance of their award-winning song, “Shallow,” at the 2019 Oscars, where they performed hand-in-hand just days after Gaga had ended her engagement.

Following their performance, Lady Gaga quickly dismissed rumors of a romance with Bradley Cooper, playfully telling Jimmy Kimmel that they intentionally created the impression of a connection. Cooper, who split from Irina Shayk later that year, didn’t directly address the speculation until November 2021, when he told The Hollywood Reporter that their on-stage chemistry was part of the act. He explained that their characters in the film fall in love during that scene, and the powerful moment they shared in front of a large audience would have felt awkward if they hadn’t been acting.

For decades, rumors have circulated about a possible romance between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock after they starred in Speed together in 1994. However, Sandra has repeatedly denied they were ever a couple. In an interview with Esquire, she playfully responded to the rumors, saying, “Nope…but who knows?” She explained that Keanu is the kind of person who remains friends with everyone he’s dated, and she believes they could have potentially had a successful relationship. Ultimately, though, they simply developed a close friendship, supporting each other throughout their careers.

Sandra and Keanu also starred together in The Lake House (2006) and remain close friends. She particularly appreciates his ability to listen. She recalled a sweet gesture about a year after filming Speed: she casually mentioned she’d never tried champagne and truffles, and a few days later, Keanu surprised her with both, along with flowers, simply saying he thought she might like to try them.

Fans love seeing Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone together on screen, having starred as romantic leads in three movies, including La La Land.

Although they’ve never been a couple in real life, working together has created a strong connection between them. At the 2018 Telluride Film Festival, Emma Stone shared how much Ryan Gosling means to her and how he’s influenced her life and career, calling him a “dear, wonderful friend.” She admitted she couldn’t imagine her life without him, adding that he’s “so special” and that thinking about it makes her emotional.

Before La La Land came out in 2016, Emma jokingly told TopMob News that Ryan had a “restraining order” against her due to the number of films they’d done together.

Despite the joke, Ryan said he enjoys working with Emma, explaining that their familiarity allows them to bring out the best in each other in a way that wouldn’t be possible with someone they didn’t know well.

Jim and Pam’s relationship on The Office is considered one of the most popular and heartwarming in television history, with viewers passionately hoping they would end up together throughout the show’s nine seasons.

Despite the strong on-screen connection, actors John Krasinski (Jim) and Jenna Fischer (Pam) never became romantically involved in real life. However, Jenna admitted in 2016 that they shared a genuine connection, explaining that a part of each of them embodied their characters and those parts felt truly in love. She clarified that while they had a close, long-lasting partnership, they weren’t a perfect match outside of their roles.

John later responded to Jenna’s comments in an interview with The Daily Beast, stating that they both felt honored to have portrayed such a beloved couple and that her quote about being ‘genuinely in love’ was misinterpreted. He expressed concern that she was being unfairly portrayed.

Ultimately, the memory of their characters’ connection – symbolized by the teapot – remains a cherished part of television history.

Bradley Cooper’s chemistry with his co-stars has often led to romantic speculation. Years before Lady Gaga, his on-screen relationships with Jennifer Lawrence in films like Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle fueled rumors. In a 2015 interview with Howard Stern, Stern directly asked Cooper when he and Lawrence would become romantically involved, to which Cooper firmly replied, “Never.” Similarly, at the 2013 Golden Globes, when asked by Entertainment Tonight if he was dating Lawrence, Cooper emphatically denied it, calling the question “very funny” and stating, “No, my God, no.”

Despite appearing together in the 2006 romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson never dated in real life, even though many fans hoped they would. In a 2020 interview with Howard Stern, Matthew explained that he generally avoids dating costars, preferring to keep things professional. He admitted there might have been some mutual crushes over the years, but they always maintained a professional relationship.

And with that, the chance for their love to blossom died, just like that love fern.

These top-tier friends have incredible chemistry on screen – think Ocean’s Eleven – and that connection clearly extends to their real-life friendship. They’re always laughing in interviews, giving each other glowing public praise, and George Clooney even lets the Roberts-Moder family use his beautiful Lake Como home for their anniversary! It’s a testament to how close they are.

Every New Year’s Eve, people often wonder if Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper, the co-hosts of CNN’s Live From Times Square, have ever been more than friends. Andy addressed the question on Howard Stern’s radio show, explaining that a romantic relationship simply isn’t the foundation of their bond. He said they’ve become too close as friends and aren’t attracted to each other that way.

It’s amusing to learn that they were actually set up on a blind date over 25 years ago. Anderson recalled on The Tonight Show that when straight friends try to match up two gay men, they often suggest they meet. However, Anderson says he knew within the first 45 seconds of a phone call to arrange the date that he wouldn’t be going out with Andy.

Andy apparently “violated” a major dating rule when it came to Anderson: he immediately asked about Anderson’s mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. Andy playfully admitted he was excited to date someone from the Vanderbilt family!

As someone who follows celebrity dynamics, it’s always interesting to hear how on-screen chemistry translates off-screen. I remember when Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt made 500 Days of Summer – they both talked about how much fun they had working together! But Joseph actually confessed in a Playboy interview a few years later that dating a close friend like Zooey would have been a little awkward. They both found it amusing, though, that fans were rooting for them to become a couple. They’d been friends for a full decade at that point, and clearly valued that relationship!

Before Zac Efron officially dated his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens, many people thought he was involved with their close friend, Ashley. The rumors were sparked by a 2006 guest appearance on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, where they played love interests.

Despite the speculation, Zac and Ashley have remained close friends, with Ashley often referring to him as her “brother/best friend.” However, she did reveal in an interview with Elle that he was her worst onscreen kiss.

She explained that it felt awkward because they were so close, and he was used to a different style of acting on the CW network while they were working on Disney Channel. She even recalled having to tell him to stop trying to kiss her with his tongue, reminding him that it was Disney Channel and they didn’t kiss like that.

Ashley added that their long history and close relationship made the experience particularly strange, saying, “We’re too close for that.”

Though they played a couple – Chad and Taylor – on High School Musical, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman remained close friends after leaving the Disney series.

They recently shared the screen again in the 2021 Lifetime Christmas movie, A Christmas Dance Reunion. Corbin shared on Instagram that working with Monique after 13 years felt like reconnecting with family, and that starring in a Lifetime Christmas movie had always been a dream, especially alongside a dear friend.

Monique also expressed hope for future collaborations, telling People that she and Corbin have a special chemistry, similar to iconic movie couples like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, and Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. She believes they have the potential for a similar on-screen connection and would love to explore that further.

Despite portraying one of television’s most famous on-again, off-again couples in The X-Files, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reportedly didn’t get along during filming. In a 2008 interview with Metro UK, David explained that they frequently argued during the show’s first eight years simply because they were around each other so much. He said, “Familiarity breeds contempt. It’s nothing to do with the other person. We used to argue about nothing. We couldn’t stand the sight of each other.”

Despite their on-set friction, fans continued to root for Mulder and Scully to become a couple, both within the show and in real life. A photo from a lunch date they had in May 2021 went viral, which David found amusing. He told People that Gillian suggested they take the picture, and he was surprised by the huge reaction it received. He admitted he doesn’t usually pay attention to fan buzz, but he was pleased to see people were still interested in their connection after so many years.

Fans who want to see a romance between Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans, take note! Though they’ve acted alongside each other in eight films since first working together in 2004’s The Perfect Score, the two stars have never dated in real life. However, Scarlett and Chris have become very close over the years. In a March 2020 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Scarlett explained that their on-screen chemistry comes from a decade of friendship and a deep understanding of each other.
