Gigi Paris, who used to date actor Glen Powell, recently opened up about their split that took place in early 2023 after nearly three years together.
Their breakup came amid persistent rumors regarding Powell’s undeniable chemistry with his co-star Sydney Sweeney in the film “Anyone But You.”
Paris shared her insights into what truly ended their relationship, discussing the emotional struggles she faced and how the rumors affected their connection.
Glen Powell And Gigi Paris Relationship Turning Point
On the Too Much podcast, Gigi Paris mentioned that the relationship started to unravel about six months before they officially ended things. A pivotal moment occurred when she was getting ready to fly to Australia for work, where Powell was filming “Anyone But You” alongside Sweeney.
Just before she was set to leave, Powell called to inform her that, after discussing it with the producers, it would be better if she didn’t visit the set. Paris described that call as the moment she knew their relationship was effectively over. Nevertheless, she made the tough decision to fly to Australia anyway, wanting to confront Powell in person and end things face-to-face.
Feelings of Betrayal and Lack of Respect
While Paris didn’t outright accuse Powell of cheating, she expressed feeling deeply humiliated and betrayed. It hurt her that Powell never publicly denied or addressed the rumors surrounding his closeness with Sweeney, which left her feeling disrespected and used as part of a PR strategy.
All she wanted was a sense of respect and decency, especially given how public the rumors were. The lack of support from Powell during that challenging time played a significant role in her choice to end the relationship.
Addressing the Sydney Sweeney Rumors
Paris didn’t confirm any romantic ties between Powell and Sweeney, but she did acknowledge the ongoing speculation.
She even expressed a somewhat philosophical notion that, if Powell and Sweeney were genuinely in love, it might at least validate the heartbreak she experienced. Paris criticized Powell for failing to defend their relationship publicly, seeing it as a significant misstep on his part.
Aftermath and Moving Forward
In the wake of the breakup, Paris made efforts to separate herself from both Powell and Sweeney. She unfollowed them on social media and began posting messages about self-worth.
Now, she’s focused on moving on from that painful chapter, describing the whole experience as a “circus” and emphasizing her goal of finding peace and respect in her life going forward.
