“Unveiling the Mystery: Sydney Sweeney’s Secretive Romance with Jonathan Davino Revealed!”
In 2023, while filming Anyone But You in Australia, several cozy photos of Sweeney and her co-star, Glen Powell, surfaced online — from Sydney’s Instagram account. Fans grew suspicious, with one user commenting, “I’m sorry but there [sic] definitely together at this point,” while another expressed harsh disappointment with Sweeney’s behavior, calling it “Homewrecker vibes.”

The rumor went into overdrive when Powell’s girlfriend at the time, Gigi Paris, unfollowed Sweeney on Instagram and seemingly confirmed her breakup with Powell (Daily Mail, 2023) (7).
Further fuelling the flames of an alleged affair, a dishevelled-looking Davino was photographed leaving Sydney’s house with packed bags.

During her Saturday Night Live monologue in March 2024, Sweeney addressed the rumors head-on. She stated that the craziest rumor she’d heard about herself was that she was having an affair with Powell.
She said the rumor was “… obviously not true. Me and my fiancé produced the movie together” and told the audience that Davino was there for the entire shoot. “He is the man of my dreams, and we’re still together and stronger than ever,” Sweeney persisted.

Was Sydney’s denial merely a cover-up for a sordid affair with Powell? It seems that wasn’t the case. The real story revolves around clever marketing.
During an April 2024 interview with The New York Times, Sweeney and Powell confirmed that the speculation of an affair between them was intentional and only to promote the Anyone But You movie (8). It was a ploy that worked; the film grossed over $220 million worldwide (Box Office Mojo) (9).
