Here we go again???
As Perezcious readers will recall, while filming and promoting the rom-com Anyone But You in 2023, rumors erupted online that co-stars Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell caught feelings for each other IRL despite both being in very committed relationships! The Euphoria star is engaged to Jonathan Davino, while the Scream Queens alum was with Gigi Paris. While Sydney and Jonathan are still together, Glen and Gigi couldn’t survive the chaos that was the affair speculation!

The model dumped him! What happened? No one said anything right out of the gate. However, she fueled the rumors that Glen cheated on her with Sydney when she unfollowed the pair and posted some damning quotes on Instagram. But instead of shutting down claims, what do Glen and Sydney do? The two continued to lean into it! In every interview and moment between them, they had an insane amount of chemistry! And it turns out that was all a ploy! They later admitted they orchestrated the whole showmance for the movie! Guess Gigi just wasn’t down for her man’s marketing scheme.
We must give it to Sydney and Glen for successfully tricking us all, though! However, fans won’t be fooled again! Or will we? Because it looks like Sydney is now trying to pull the same move with her new male co-star — her taken male co-star!
For those who don’t know, Sydney is starring as Millie in the upcoming film adaption of the book by Freida McFadden, The Housemaid, along with Amanda Seyfried, Michele Morrone, and Brandon Sklenar. The last name will sound familiar to some! He co-starred in It Ends With Us with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni and has been caught up in that mess! Now it appears he’s getting involved in a different kind of drama — a scandalous one involving Sydney! Even though he has been dating personal trainer Courtney Salviolo for years!

Uh oh!
But don’t worry! It’s not that bad! More on the sitch in a minute! First, let’s talk about what happened over the weekend! On Saturday night, the stars were seen attending a performance of Cult of Love on Broadway together. Sydney wore a long fluffy black coat with a navy dress and tights. Meanwhile, Brandon had on a Carhartt jacket, a white tee, and black jeans. Check out a picture of them (below):

Hmm. No chemistry was on display. No PDA. Nothing. Yet these photos still had many fans talking! And not because they thought something was actually going on between Sydney and another one of her taken co-stars again. Fans think she’s trying to fool us all by sparking cheating rumors again, this time with Brandon! When Chicks in the Office posted pics from their outing over the weekend, Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast host Amanda Hirsch questioned:
“Oh no is she doing the thing.”
We wouldn’t put it past her! She is a mastermind! Others thought the same thing, saying in the comments:
“Brandon is lookalike of Glen Powell right now.”
“It’s giving Anyone But You press tour”
“she’s so smart – let everyone think what they want”
However, not everyone was convinced this was another marketing scheme from Sydney! Some actually believed they were filming a scene for The Housemaid movie since their characters “go to a Broadway show” in the novel. Meanwhile, others insisted it wasn’t for the film because the clothing didn’t look right for the scene in question. But everyone knows the movie doesn’t always follow the book to a T, so they really could have been working on the project that evening! That said, there did not appear to have been any crew with them. In fact, they were only accompanied by one friend. So if you ask us, the filming theory is out!
The new marketing ploy, on the other hand? We would not be surprised if Sydney attempted to trick all of us again! She seemed very into it the first time! Why not try it out a second time to help out the movie? No harm, right? Unless it breaks up yet another couple!
What do YOU think, Perezcious readers? Is this another scheme from the actress? Sound OFF in the comments!
