Glen Powell gives update on love life (2024)

Glen Powell may one of the most desirable stars in Hollywood, but the actor isn't actively looking for love.

During an interview on CBS Mornings, the hunk, 35, revealed he isn't currently 'chasing love' - but is definitely open to it entering his life.

'I’m not chasing love,' he said. 'If love comes and hits me in the face and knocks me over, I welcome it with open arms because that’s something I really want.'

However, the in-demand actor admitted it would be difficult to date someone given his busy schedule.

Glen starred in one of the most highly-anticipated films of 2023, Anyone But You, and has another comedy out now, Hit Man.

So the actor is aware there are obstacles preventing him from effortlessly fitting someone into his life.

'This is a time where life is moving so fast that I don’t even know if I could bring someone into it in a healthy way, even if I tried,' he said.

But he conceded, he could for 'the right person.'

Powell also said he was hoping to become a father one day.

'Even just being with my niece and nephew today, it's like, I really want kids, I really want that phase of life. It's not far away,' he said.

Glen knows 'it's going to take a very specific type of person' for him to be with given the nature of his job.

'It's a lot,' he admitted.

'I realize is there's new aspects and new complexities to this life and this job that I didn't even understand.

'So to bring someone into that and to make them feel comfortable, to make them feel seen, to make them feel loved, when a lot of the elements around that can really eat at someone’s self confidence or worth or any of that stuff. I’m not willing to have someone sign up for that if they’re not ready for it,' he said.

Glen most recently dated model Gigi Paris for three years, before calling it quits in April 2023 while filming his latest movie Anyone But You.

He also landed at the center of dating rumors with his Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney last year, but they denied they being romantically involved and Glen admitted they had in fact played up the rumors to promote their film.

Powell previously credited Sweeney as the mastermind behind playing up the dating rumors between them to promote their film.

When asked about their decision to lean into their characters, Ben and Bea, the actor star opened up about utilizing their 'authentic chemistry' to entice viewers to watch their rom-com.

'I don't have the mental capacity to pull anything like this off, but she's very smart. She's very smart,' the actor told Business Insider. 'I had such a wonderful journey with her on this thing. But in terms of actual dating and actually being together? [Laughs.]'

As for how their chemistry on-screen and natural rapport at press events may have created a 'lot of headaches for' him, the performer acknowledged his split from Paris.

'Well, look, the only reason it made things harder for me to lean into that stuff was that I was going through a very real breakup amidst a promotional tour,' he explained.

Powell continued: 'I was with someone that I really loved and cared about and was trying to kind of make sense of a lot of stuff.'

Meanwhile, the Scream Queens alum pointed out that 'it was a lot easier for Sydney to lean into something like that because she's in a very committed and wonderful relationship and she's very happy.'

'So it was a little harder for me,' he admitted.

Rumors about Glen and Sydney's relationship began to stir at the beginning of 2023 during filming, and quickly gained traction after Glen quietly split with his Paris in the spring.

Sydney, who is engaged to Jonathan Davino, 40, shot down the rumors during a tell-all interview with Variety in August.

'It's a rom-com. That's what people want,' she said.

'Glen and I don't really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he's such a hard worker, and I'm a hard worker.

'We're excited for the press tour, and I literally just left ADR with him. We talk all the time like.'
