In a candid guest appearance on the "Too Much" podcast, a model has broken her silence regarding her highly publicized breakup with actor Glen Powell in 2023. She detailed the exact moment she knew their relationship was over, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding their split.
The model recalled that just before the breakup, she was preparing to fly to Australia for work. Powell was overseas filming "Anyone But You" with Sydney Sweeney, and rumors of a romance between the costars were circulating. She received a phone call from Powell, advising her not to visit him on set.
"It's pretty insane. I got a phone call from him right when I was about to go to Australia to work," she explained. "He called and said, 'The producers and I have discussed that I think it's best that you don't come to visit." The model, who never explicitly named Powell or Sweeney during the interview, added that she hung up the phone and realized the relationship was finished.
Despite the phone call, the model flew to Australia to confront Powell. She shared that she broke up with him as soon as she arrived. "It was just our goodbye, so there was lots of tears," she continued. "There were lots of things. Lots of conversations were had and we like tried to kind of keep it on good terms in some sort of way."
The breakup was confirmed by PEOPLE in April 2023, amid speculation about a romantic relationship between Powell and Sweeney. Months later, Sweeney addressed the rumors, stating, "It's a rom-com. That's what people want!" Powell later admitted that the breakup made it difficult to lean into the onscreen chemistry with Sweeney during the promotional tour.
The model criticized Powell for not dismissing the romance rumors. She expressed that she wanted respect and felt betrayed by how the situation was handled. She stated, "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."
