Glen Powell Breaks Silence on Gigi Paris’ Breakup Claims: The Real Story

Hi there, I’m Avery Sinclair, a no-nonsense journalist with a healthy dose of skepticism. I’m here to give you the lowdown on Glen Powell and Gigi Paris’ highly publicized breakup, and let’s be real, it’s about time someone spilled the tea.
Glen Powell has finally addressed his breakup with Gigi Paris, three months after she claimed his working on Anyone But You with Sydney Sweeney led to their split. In a recent interview with GQ, Glen shared his side of the story, and it’s clear he’s not interested in rehashing the drama. “I will always have nothing but love for her and respect for her,” he said. “Everybody’s always going to have their own narrative on things and all that. And she’s welcome to it.” He continued, “Relationships are really hard. And when two people break up, they each go to their own brunch and they will each tell their own narrative.”
Glen’s comments come after Gigi Paris opened up about their breakup on the Too Much podcast in June. She alleged that Glen allowed the Anyone But You producers to bar her from visiting the set amid rumors of a romance between him and costar Sydney Sweeney. Gigi claimed she was “shattered” and felt like she was “fed to the dogs.” She also said that Glen prioritized work over their relationship, which ultimately led to their breakup.
While Glen didn’t directly address Gigi’s claims, he did share some advice he received from his Top Gun: Maverick costar Tom Cruise. “He basically said, ‘Hey, it’s going to get really, really loud. It’s your job to just turn the volume down,'” Glen recalled. “Just remember you have your hand on that switch. You have your hand on the ability to turn up that noise or turn it down.” It’s clear that Glen is trying to move on from the drama and focus on his career.
As for Gigi, she seemed to be still hurting from the breakup. She emphasized that she wanted respect, especially if the split was going to be public. “Like, don’t make an ass out of me. Don’t make a fool out of someone you’ve been with for over three years, talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know? And at the end of the day, it was like, ‘Well, work comes first.’ And if that’s the case, power to you, that’s your priority. I gotta walk away.”
The breakup drama isn’t the only thing that’s been making headlines lately. Glen and Sydney Sweeney have been rumored to have a romantic connection, but they’ve both denied it. In an interview with The New York Times, Glen said, “The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry. Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry. That’s people wanting what’s on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit—and it worked wonderfully. Sydney is very smart.”
In a related note, it’s worth mentioning that not all costars end up together, despite their on-screen chemistry. Take Emma Watson and Tom Felton, for example. Emma has admitted to having a crush on her Harry Potter costar, but it never turned into anything romantic.
In conclusion, Glen Powell and Gigi Paris’ breakup drama is still unfolding, but it’s clear that both parties are trying to move on. Whether or not we’ll see a reconciliation in the future remains to be seen, but for now, it seems like they’re both focused on their respective careers.
And that’s today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
