Sydney Sweeney clarified rumors about herself during her Saturday Night Live debut, including her relationship status with Glen Powell.

During her monologue on Saturday, March 2, Sweeney, 26, addressed rumors circulating about her online.

Sweeney and Powell, 35, portrayed Bea and Ben in the romantic comedy inspired by William Shakespeare, released in December 2023. Despite being in public relationships - Sweeney engaged to Jonathan Davino and Powell dating model Gigi Paris - speculation persisted about a possible romance between the two actors during production.

She expressed her love and admiration for him, describing him as the man of her dreams, and reassured everyone that their relationship is still going strong.

She also mentioned that Davino, aged 38, attended her SNL debut to show his support.

Sweeney asked if we could focus on him. The camera then moved to Powell, who was seated in the front row and seemed to be searching for Davino behind him. Powell quickly clarified, "That's not my fiancé! He's in my dressing room!"
