Sydney Sweeney recently addressed rumors surrounding her personal life during her debut on Saturday Night Live. The 26-year-old actress took the opportunity to set the record straight on various speculations circulating online.
During her monologue on March 2, Sweeney denied false claims, including ones suggesting she did not work at Universal Studios or that she had hired a nutritionist from TikTok. However, the most outrageous rumor she addressed was the alleged affair with her co-star Glen Powell while filming the movie 'Anyone But You.'
Sweeney and Powell, who portrayed Bea and Ben in the romantic comedy inspired by William Shakespeare, faced ongoing speculation about their relationship status despite both being in public relationships at the time. Sweeney is engaged to Jonathan Davino, while Powell was dating model Gigi Paris.
The actress clarified that her fiancé was present throughout the filming of 'Anyone But You,' emphasizing that he is the love of her life and they are still happily together. Davino even attended her SNL debut to show his support.
In a humorous twist, Sweeney jokingly pointed out Powell in the audience during her monologue, mistaking him for her fiancé. The two actors further played on the rumors in an SNL sketch titled 'Loud Table,' where they humorously portrayed a couple in a dramatic breakup scenario.
Despite persistent dating rumors, both Sweeney and Powell have consistently denied any romantic involvement, asserting that they are simply friends. Sweeney has previously expressed her commitment to her long-term relationship and her resilience against the scrutiny that comes with being in the public eye.
Reflecting on the challenges of navigating fame, Sweeney highlighted the tendency of the public to build up celebrities only to tear them down. She remains steadfast in her relationship and unfazed by the ongoing speculation surrounding her personal life.
Saturday Night Live, where Sweeney made her debut, airs on NBC on Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET.
