Newly single Sydney Sweeney is being anything but coy with her string of flirty appearances alongside Glen Powell.
The 27-year-old Emmy-nominated actress sent the rumor mill into overdrive with everybody guessing she’s on the rebound with her “Anyone But You” co-star.
In a case of life imitating art, fans instantly drew comparisons to the 2023 rom-com they starred in – where the action takes place at the wedding of Powell’s character’s sister – when Sweeney showed up at the wedding of Powell’s real life sibling, Leslie, in Dallas, TX, last weekend.
The move set tongues wagging just days after the news broke Sweeney had called off her engagement to Jonathan Davino, 41.
“Would they be a great couple? Yeah — but nothing romantic is going on there,” a source who has worked with Powell attempted to downplay to The Post.
For his part, Powell continued to flirt with the idea they could be an item on Thursday when “TODAY” host Jenna Bush Hager teased him about the excitement surrounding Sweeney being at the wedding, saying, “The wedding caused a little bit of a stir. Did that surprise you?”
“You know, timing is everything in this world,” the “Twisters” star said, laughing.
While in Dallas, Sweeney and Powell, 36, were also spotted together at restaurant Joe Leo Fine Tex Mex.
“He [Powell] wouldn’t blow up everything after the break up [with Davino],” the source close to Powell said.
Sweeney also posed in a white corseted gown, appearing like a runaway bride this week at the CinemaCon2025 red carpet in Las Vegas on Tuesday. The appearance was her first public outing since calling off her wedding to Davino —originally been planned for this May — last month.
“Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She’s all about working right now and very excited about all her projects,” a source told People Monday, confirming the pair have split.
Sweeney has six movie and TV projects in the works for 2025, including reprising her breakout role as Cassie Howard on the third series of TV show “Euphoria”. She also has a role as producer on a number of other projects she is developing.
Although Sweeney and Davino got engaged in 2022, they reportedly hit a rough patch at the beginning of 2025 causing them to postpone their wedding.
Davino was seen for the first time since the breakup Thursday in photos obtained by TMZ, walking Sweeney’s dog around the $6 million Los Angeles mansion the duo were slated to live in together.
A source told People in March “things have been rocky” between Sweeney and the businessman “for a long time.”
In addition to filming “Euphoria” Sweeney will soon start promoting the movie adaption of psychological thriller novel “The Housemaid,” which she stars in for Netflix, and which has the potential to become a franchise. Sweeney is also playing the real-life boxer Christy Marin in one movie and will play silver screen star Kim Novak in another.
“What did make her overwhelmed, though, was her relationship and her wedding. She didn’t feel right about it,” a source told People.
The breakup rumors started last month when it was reported Sweeney had been staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel without Davino since the middle of February.
She also attended Miu Miu’s fall 2025 Paris Fashion weeks show alone in March, then – in the clearest indication of their breakup yet – she deleted a photo from a carousel posted in January 2025 of her kissing Davino from her Instagram feed.
The pair, who have been dating since 2018, were last photographed together on Jan. 20 during her time off from filming “The Housemaid.”
“Every time you see her with the ex-fiancé she doesn’t look happy,” a source who worked with Sweeney observed to The Post.
“She doesn’t walk [red] carpets with him. She wasn’t wearing a ring in February. They got engaged when she was young. She probably didn’t want to slow down and plan a wedding,” the source added.
Davino, who is 13 years Sweeney’s senior, is closely linked to his ex and listed as a producer on films she’s starred in, including “Immaculate,” “The Caretaker,” and “The Players Table” according to IMDB.
“She was keeping him on the payroll,” a source who worked with Sweeney told The Post.
“[She] just wants to work. She’s definitely a hustler. She doesn’t mind living life on the edge – essentially she is so booked [with work]. It’s actually insane,” the source who worked with Sweeney said.
Some of Hollywood’s most notable actors — including Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, who appeared in a Super Bowl commercial with her — have recently sung Sweeney’s praises.
“I really had to hand it to her. She is game, and funny. Has terrific ideas. Not intimidated — respectful, silly and adorable. Beautiful. She was just great,” Ryan told The Post in January of meeting the “Euphoria” star on the set of the commercial, where she recited the infamous “I’ll have what she’s having” line from Crystal’s 1989 rom-com “When Harry Met Sally”.
Off-screen Sweeney has also been hotly sought after to front brand campaigns, including shoe company Hey Dude, Beauty Brand Laneige, and personal hygiene brand Dr. Squatch, among others.
In 2022, Sweeney discussed the harsh financial realities of being an actress in Hollywood, despite her mega success portraying promiscuous Howard in “Euphoria,” the sex, drugs and trauma-fueled HBO hit which originally debuted in June 2019.
“I want to have a family, I’ve always wanted to be a young mom, and I’m worried about how this industry puts stigmas on young women who have children and looks at them in a different light,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022.
“I was worried that, if I don’t work, there is no money and no support for kids I would have.”
“If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don’t have income to cover that. I don’t have someone supporting me, I don’t have anyone I can turn to, to pay my bills or call for help.”
Powell, meanwhile, only recently had his big break, telling Interview magazine in 2024, when he scored a small role in Hidden Figures in 2017, he only made $35,000 and it was the only movie he made that year.
It wasn’t until Powell appeared in “Top Gun: Maverick” in 2022 his financial situation was set to improve. However, he wasn’t set to get paid until the movie was released and producer and star Tom Cruise pushed it back two years because of the pandemic.
“I’d never made any significant amount of money on a movie, including ‘Top Gun’, and I was depleting a bank account to a point where my accountant was like, ‘This pandemic cannot last much longer,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in May 2024.
Powell, like Sweeney is also looking to set himself up financially outside of acting. He recently launched a line of condiments from Smash Kitchen and, sources tell The Post Sweeney might be attending his Los Angeles launch this weekend to help give him another boost.
The source who worked with Sweeney told The Post how the Spokane-born actress is doing wonders for his career.
“He definitely had fame, but I felt like it didn’t skyrocket until after ‘Anything But You’ with Sydney,” they said.
