Gigi Paris is finally opening up about her split from Glen Powell amid rumors of his romance with Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney.
Paris talked to influencer Emma Klipstein about the breakup, which happened in April 2023.
The model revealed that the relationship began to go downhill six months before it finally came to an end. Sure enough, the rumors of a romance between Powell and Sweeny, or rather the lack of a clear statement from the former denying the rumors, was behind it.
Paris explained that the duo were promoting their film by sparking such rumors, and she ultimately decided to leave.
She said, "It was just, this is what I have to do for my job. I had two options. I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like, 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f---?' Or stand up for myself and say, 'No, I'm actually not okay with this, and I'm walking away.' So that's what I decided to do ... I was shattered."
"I just wanted respect, especially if it's gonna be public," she continued. "Like, don't make an ass out of me. Like, just don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know? And at the end of the day, it was like, well, work comes first.”
She added, “And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I gotta walk away. What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs."
"Where are you when you just need to stand up and say, 'No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn't do that.' That's all that needed to be said. And that wasn't said ... Never once," she remarked.
The model noted that the whole thing turned out to be a PR stunt to promote the film, and made her feel even worse about her three-year-long relationship ending because of it.
"It was serving them for their PR. 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. Like, it was just crazy."
"Just to sell a movie or not, who knows?" she continued, "And I honestly hoped that they'd end up together, because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot."
While Glen Powell was with Gigi at the time, his co-star Sweeney was engaged to Jonathan Davino. The Euphoria star called off her wedding in March 2025.
