"Truly the tabloids and journalists just created it and kept going," she said. "Even if we were just standing next to each other, it was 'They're standing two inches apart!'"
"Glen and I genuinely care for each other and have a love and respect for one another ... And I think people just truly saw a really beautiful pairing."
"Later on, it turned out that it was all - I don't know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship."
"The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry. Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry,"
Sydney Sweeney says media coverage, not a deliberate publicity strategy, created the perception of an offscreen romance between her and Glen Powell during the Anyone But You press tour. Sweeney attributes the buzz to tabloid and journalistic amplification of ordinary moments and emphasizes genuine care and respect between her and Powell as the basis for perceived chemistry. The two continued to joke about their rapport, including a Saturday Night Live gag. Powell's then-girlfriend Gigi Paris said the coverage left her "shattered" and accused the publicity of harming their relationship. Powell previously emphasized that fun and chemistry drive rom-com success.
