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 her 'fiancé' in the crowd.

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

The gossip flurried even more after the news hit that Powell had broken up with his girlfriend of over three years, model Gigi Paris, in April 2023 - just months after his onscreen romance with Sweeney was filmed.

Despite Powell's break-up, Sweeney has stayed loyal 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 during her opening monologue.

'The craziest rumor I've seen is that while I was filming anyone but you, I was having an affair with my co-star Glen Powell... That's obviously not true,' the actress said.

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 lean into their characters, Ben and Bea, Powell opened up about utilizing their 'authentic chemistry' to entice viewers to watch their rom-com.

'I  don't have the mental capacity to pull anything like this off, but she's very smart. She's very smart,' the Top Gun: Maverick actor told Business Insider. 'I had such a wonderful journey with her on this thing. But in terms of actual dating and actually being together? [Laughs.]'

Powell has also admitted that he and Sweeney 'love each other,' but are not romantically involved

As for how their chemistry on-screen and natural rapport at press events may have created a 'lot of headaches for' him, the performer acknowledged his split from Gigi Paris. 

'Well, look, the only reason it made things harder for me to lean into that stuff was that I was going through a very real breakup amidst a promotional tour,' he explained.

Powell continued: 'I was with someone that I really loved and cared about and was trying to kind of make sense of a lot of stuff.'

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old pointed out that 'it was a lot easier for Sydney to lean into something like that because she's in a very committed and wonderful relationship and she's very happy.'

Powell has also admitted that he and Sweeney 'love each other,' but are not romantically involved.

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 humans 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 for the press tour, and I literally just left ADR with him. We talk all the time like.'

Her comments came as a member of production working on the film claimed that a number of people on the 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. That's what it looked like to most of us. And to some of the extras as well.'
