Sydney Sweeney pokes fun at Glen Powell affair rumors during opening ‘SNL’ monologue

Sydney Sweeney refuses to let the critics have the last say.

The “Euphoria” star poked fun at her and Glen Powell’s affair rumors during her “Saturday Night Live” opening monologue while addressing “some stuff” she’s seen about herself online.

“The craziest rumor I’ve seen is that while I was filming ‘Anyone But You,’ I was having an affair with my co-star Glen Powell,” she said while laughing. “That’s obviously not true. Me and my fiancé [Jonathan Davino] produced the movie together and he was there the entire shoot.

“And I just want to let everyone know that he’s the man of my dreams and we’re still together and stronger than ever. He even came here tonight to support me.”

Looking at the camera crew, Sweeney, 26, continued, “Can we cut to him?”

The camera then cut to Powell, 35, who was sitting amongst audience members and had a stunned look on his face when the camera panned to him.

“That’s not my fiancé!” the actress quipped. “He’s in my dressing room and we have a great show for you tonight!”

Around the same time, Davino, 38, was also photographed leaving Sweeney’s Los Angeles home with their dog and luggage in tow.

However, the “Madame Web” star and Powell continued to shut down the rumblings of their alleged romance while promoting their highly-anticipated film.

Addressing the rumors in August 2023, the actress told PvNew, “It’s a rom-com. That’s what people want! Glen and I don’t really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he’s such a hard worker, and I’m a hard worker.”

Sweeney furthered that she and Powell have even leaned into the narrative to create more of a frenzy around their film.

“They want it,” she continued. “It’s fun to give it to ’em.”

As for Powell, he seems unbothered by allegations as hasn’t shied away from gushing over the blond beauty, claiming she “is the easiest person to have chemistry with.”

“We make each other laugh. She’s awesome, obviously one of the most talented actresses we have,” she told “Entertainment Tonight.”

“This movie has felt like a rom-com in itself because Sydney is very easy to pretend fall in love with.”
