Glen Powell’s mom, Cyndy Powell, has officially entered the chat to let everyone know that her son is not dating Sydney Sweeney—so y’all can stop rearranging your celebrity ship charts.
For weeks, the internet has been spiraling ever since Sydney and her longtime fiancé Jonathan Davino called it quits. Then, the “Anyone But You” co-stars were both spotted at Glen’s sister’s wedding in Texas, and BOOM—people were suddenly convinced they were writing their own rom-com in real life.
Glen, 36, and Sydney, 27, showed up at the Dallas wedding on March 29, setting off a social media frenzy. Was this a soft launch? A hard launch? A wedding crashers situation? Well, hold your bouquets, because Glen’s mom is here to set the record straight.
“No Tea, No Scandal, Just Friends” – Cyndy Powell, Probably
Speaking to IconicHipster.com, Cyndy Powell hit us with the mom version of a cease-and-desist:
“They’re definitely not together. It was just, like, she was there [at the wedding] with her friend.”
Translation: Y’all need to chill.
Apparently, Sydney is basically an honorary Powell at this point. She RSVP’d to the wedding ages ago, long before the rumor mill went into overdrive. According to Cyndy, she was just there with her bestie, having a good time, and definitely not sneaking off for secret romance movie moments with Glen.
“Nothing going on behind closed doors,” Cyndy added, which sounds suspiciously like something people say when something is going on, but okay, we’ll trust her.
Glen: Just a Wholesome, Friend-Loving King
Cyndy went on to deliver a TED Talk on how wonderful her son is:
“He’s the kindest person and he is so others-oriented. He loves his family, he loves his friends. And Sydney is a friend. They’ve been friends for so long.”
Basically, if Glen and Sydney wanted to be a thing, they could’ve been a thing, but they’re not, and that’s that. Instead, they’ve built a solid squad of besties who “take care of each other,” which sounds adorable, but not scandalous enough for the gossip-hungry masses.
As for how the Powell family feels about Sydney? Cyndy made it clear:
“We love Sydney. We’ve considered her just a really, really good friend. We all were together so much, and we haven’t seen her in a long time. She’s really a friend and we all enjoy her.”
But Who Does Glen’s Mom Want Him to Date?
When asked about Glen’s future leading lady, Cyndy gave a classic mom answer:
“I just want somebody that loves him unconditionally and he loves unconditionally, and they take care of each other and live happily ever after.”
Basically, she wants her son to have a fairytale romance, and honestly? Same, Cyndy. Same.
So, to recap: Glen and Sydney are not dating, the Powell family adores her anyway, and the real romance here is between Glen and his wholesome group of friends. The internet will just have to find another Hollywood couple to obsess over—at least until Glen and Sydney are spotted together again. 😏
