Sydney Sweeney’s recent hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live” had a special twist to it, as she addressed the ongoing rumors about her supposed affair with co-star Glen Powell. The two actors worked together on the rom-com “Anyone But You” in Australia, where their on-screen chemistry seemed to spill over into real life, at least according to paparazzi photos and gossip columns.
During her opening monologue on SNL, Sweeney wasted no time in setting the record straight. She debunked the rumors by pointing out that her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, was actually on set with her the entire time. To add a comedic touch, Sweeney then introduced her “supportive fiancé” in the audience, only for the camera to reveal Glen Powell sitting in his place.
The SNL writers didn’t stop there, as Powell later made a cameo appearance as Sweeney’s boss with whom she was supposedly cheating. The whole skit played on the rumors and showcased Powell’s willingness to lean into the joke. Meanwhile, Jonathan Davino remained backstage, supporting his fiancée throughout the show.
After the taping, Sweeney and Davino were spotted hand in hand at the SNL afterparty, surrounded by cast members and musical guest Kacey Musgraves. Despite the rumors and speculation, it was evident that Sweeney and Davino’s relationship was strong and unwavering.
The rumors about Sweeney and Powell’s alleged affair were initially fueled by their close bond on set and public appearances together. However, Powell himself confirmed that they were simply playing up the dating rumors to generate buzz for their movie. In the world of showbiz, sometimes a little controversy can go a long way in promoting a project.
Ultimately, Sydney Sweeney’s SNL monologue and subsequent skits served as a playful way to address the rumors about her personal life. By embracing the speculation and turning it into comedy, Sweeney and Powell showed that they have a good sense of humor and are not afraid to laugh at themselves. And through it all, Jonathan Davino stood by Sweeney’s side, proving that their love is the real deal, no matter what rumors may swirl around them.
