She added, "Also, I’ve never really shared that much [about my relationship], so the press loves to create drama in stories."

How did the dating rumours begin?

The romance rumours gained momentum due to the on-screen chemistry between Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell during the filming of Anyone But You in Australia. Despite being in committed relationships, the two actors continually praised each other's talents and the ease with which they portrayed a couple in love.

Both Sweeney and Powell were in committed relationships when rumours about their potential romance surfaced. Sweeney, in a prior statement to Variety, expressed feeling "beat up by" the rumours, particularly when she couldn't defend herself. Powell, in an interview with Men's Health, described the rumours as "disorienting and unfair."
