Glen Powell is clearly reaching new heights in his acting career. After breaking out in the Fox series Scream Queens, he soared to movie greatness with box office hits like Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You, alongside Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney.
Amid his success, the 36-year-old actor has had a few high-profile romances with several leading ladies, including his rumored romance with Twisters co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones, who has been dating photographer Ben Sneed since 2023. Glen was also previously romantically linked to Gigi Paris.
Here’s a deep dive into Glen’s past relationships and romantic history.

Glen and The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev enjoyed a short-lived romance back in 2017. News of their relationship broke when affectionate pics from a photo booth at pal Julianne Hough‘s lavish Idaho wedding to Brooks Laich surfaced in July of that year. But according to PEOPLE, they’d been dating since January of 2017.
They later attended a Hollywood Foreign Press Association and InStyle‘s party in celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Globe Awards that November, then spent Thanksgiving apart. A source told E! News for a November 30, 2017 report that they were taking some time apart, due to Nina’s busy schedule.
“She’s filming a lot,” one source said at the time, noting that there hadn’t been a definitive breakup. “There hasn’t been an official ‘split’ but Nina and Glen have been taking time apart,” they said. “Nina just wrapped on a project and is about to start another and her schedule has been a huge part of it. They haven’t been spending much time together since the end of the summer.” Another insider added that there hadn’t been major fights leading up to the break, and noted that Glen is a “very easy-going dude.”
Nina and her current partner, Shaun White, ironically made their red-carpet debut at the premiere of Glen’s biggest film to date, Top Gun: Maverick, in May 2022. The couple got engaged in October 2024.
Renee Bargh
In November of 2018, Us Weekly reported that Glen had begun dating Extra TV host Renee Bargh. An insider reportedly told the outlet at the time that they’d been dating for six months and that “Renee has been staying at Glen’s place.” They reportedly partied on Nov 9 of that year at an 80s themed birthday bash at L.A.’s famed Casamigos. Once again, ex Nina made an appearance at the shindig.
Little is known about the interim, but in November of 2019, Renee confirmed in a Daily Mail interview that they were no longer an item. “I am currently single,” she told the outlet.
Gigi Paris
It’s unclear when the gorgeous model and actor began dating, but by January of 2020, it was pretty clear they were an item, as they were seen on vacation together in Punta Mita, Mexico, according to PopSugar. Paris and Glen confirmed the whole thing the following Valentine’s Day in 2021, sharing a sweet Instagram post to his account. Alongside a pic of the couple on dirt bikes, Glen wrote, “My Ride or Die. Happy Valentines Day, y’all!” Gigi shared an “almost kiss” pic via her own Instagram account the same day. “Here’s to you,” she wrote alongside a red heart emoji.
They made official appearances together at Coachella in 2022, as well as the Top Gun: Maverick premiere. Sadly, in April 2023, rumors of trouble in paradise emerged for the couple, and on April 26, Gigi seemingly confirmed she and Glen had split with an Instagram message about “knowing your worth.”
Daisy Edgar-Jones
Daisy and Glen worked together on the set of Twisters, and they’ve sparked relationship rumors. Although the actors have not confirmed whether or not they’re in a relationship, they teased how their “first date” went during a July 2024 interview with PEOPLE.
“What made me laugh was Daisy came in this very chic outfit with a scarf and all these different things,” Glen said while recalling a day on the set of Twisters. “Cut to — that was the last time I saw Daisy dressed up. We wore sweatpants for the rest of the shoot.”
Daisy then joked, “I made so much effort for that first date.”
Sydney Sweeney
Sydney and Glen made it clear they were not dating while promoting their rom-com, Anyone But You. However, romance rumors were reignited in March 2025 after reports emerged that Sydney had postponed her wedding to fiancé Jonathan Davino. Jonathan and Sydney got engaged in 2022.
The two were also spotted together multiple times in Texas, with Deux Moi reporting on their sightings via Instagram on March 30.
