Sydney Sweeney Addresses Affair Rumors in ‘Saturday Night Live’ Monologue
Sydney Sweeney, the talented star of the hit show “Euphoria,” took the opportunity to address the swirling rumors about her alleged affair with co-star Glen Powell during her opening monologue on “Saturday Night Live.” With a lighthearted and humorous tone, Sweeney set the record straight and put an end to the speculation.
During her monologue, Sweeney laughed off the craziest rumor she had heard, which was that she was having an affair with Powell while filming their movie “Anyone But You.” She quickly dismissed the rumor, stating that it was obviously not true. Sweeney emphasized that her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, was present throughout the entire shoot as they produced the movie together. She made it clear that Davino is the man of her dreams and that they are still together and stronger than ever.
To add a playful twist to her monologue, Sweeney called for the camera crew to cut to Powell, who was sitting among the audience members. Powell had a stunned look on his face when the camera panned to him, further adding to the comedic effect. Sweeney jokingly pointed out that Powell was not her fiancé and reassured everyone that he was in her dressing room. She then proceeded to announce that they had a great show in store for the night.
Later on in the show, Sweeney and Powell teamed up for another segment. In this skit, Sweeney played a character who confessed to cheating on her boyfriend with her boss and suggested breaking up. Powell made a surprise appearance at their table, calling Sweeney “babycakes” and asking her to leave with him. The crowd erupted in cheers as the duo left together, showcasing their on-screen chemistry.
The rumors surrounding Sweeney and Powell’s alleged affair began last year when fans noticed their undeniable chemistry while filming their upcoming rom-com set to release in 2023. The speculation intensified when Powell ended his relationship with Gigi Paris, leading to her unfollowing both him and Sweeney on social media. Around the same time, Davino was photographed leaving Sweeney’s Los Angeles home with their dog and luggage, fueling the rumors even more.
Despite the gossip, Sweeney and Powell consistently shut down the allegations and maintained that they were just friends. In an interview with Variety, Sweeney addressed the rumors, stating that people wanted a romantic comedy and that she and Powell didn’t really care about the speculation. She emphasized their strong friendship and mutual respect, highlighting Powell’s hard work and talent.
Sweeney further revealed that they had embraced the narrative surrounding their alleged romance to create more buzz around their film. They understood that people enjoyed the idea of them being together and decided to have fun with it. Sweeney acknowledged that Powell had been vocal about their chemistry, describing her as the easiest person to have chemistry with and praising her talent.
In her “Saturday Night Live” monologue, Sydney Sweeney proved that she wouldn’t let rumors and speculation define her. With humor and grace, she addressed the affair rumors head-on, setting the record straight about her relationship with Glen Powell. Sweeney’s ability to navigate the gossip mill while maintaining a strong sense of self is a testament to her resilience as an actress and her commitment to her craft. As fans eagerly await their upcoming rom-com, it’s clear that Sweeney and Powell’s on-screen chemistry will continue to captivate audiences.
