Speculation about a potential romance between “Anyone But You” co-stars has reignited following Sweeney’s attendance at Powell’s sister’s wedding in Texas.
The sighting comes amid Sweeney’s recent breakup with her fiancé, adding fuel to the long-standing rumors. Over the weekend, sources told US Weekly that Sydney Sweeney (27) and longtime boyfriend Jonathan Davino (41) had called off their engagement since they were facing relationship hurdles.
“Things are not great right now, but they aren’t throwing in the towel yet. They are working on their relationship but have called off the wedding for now,” the insider said. “They were supposed to get married this spring. The wedding is not happening, and they aren’t having further discussions about it.”
Wedding date?
Shortly after the news came out, Sweeney headed to Dallas, Texas, to attend the wedding of Powell’s sister – this development made fans flash back to the plot of “Anyone but You” (2023), where Bea (Sweeney) and Ben (Powell) find themselves stuck together at a wedding in Australia.
After seeing the off-screen chemistry and camaraderie between Sweeney and Powell, fans were quick to fuel dating rumors, making the film a hot topic on social media – Powell’s breakup with his then-girlfriend added to the speculation. However, both actors maintained that their relationship was strictly professional and friendly.
Powell’s family responds
Powell’s mother, Cyndy Powell, has also addressed the current rumors, emphasizing that Sweeney is a good family friend who had RSVP’d to the wedding long before her breakup and that there is no romantic involvement between the two actors. “They’re definitely not together,” Cyndy told the Daily Mail on Tuesday, calling speculation about their relationship “silly.”
“We love Sydney. We’ve considered her just a really, really good friend,” the Powell matriarch added, “We all were together so much, and we haven’t seen her in a long time. She’s really a friend and we all enjoy her.”
With most fans expressing hope for a real-life romance between the co-stars, it’s important to note that both actors have been adamant in denying all speculation, and their personal lives remain their own.
