Glen Powell: From Unexpected Hookup Reveals to His Surprising Condiment Business

Glen Powell has been a big name in Hollywood for a while. Especially after Anyone But You dropped, everyone started to crown him as the next big rom-com star. People were also wondering about his chemistry with Sydney Sweeney. But his life outside the screen is getting a lot of attention too. Recent news from Kristin Cavallari has put him right back in the gossip pages. It turns out his personal life is just as interesting as his movies. Let's talk about what has been revealed.

Kristin Cavallari was on her podcast tour recently. A fan asked about her dating life after her 2022 divorce from Jay Cutler. She said dating had not been a big concern because she has her kids a lot more now. But then her best friend Justin Anderson spilled some interesting details. He said Kristin had a brief encounter with a "certain movie star." The crowd cheered. Justin revealed it was Glen Powell. Kristin looked embarrassed and shouted "Justin!"

In a flashback during the show Kristin and Justin went into more detail about the past event. Justin said they were "partying in Greece" when Glen "just came up." Kristin interrupted saying he "literally ran into me." Justin continued that they had a "really fun night together." But Kristin made sure to clear things up. "I never f--ked him. I’m just putting that out there." Justin then added the juicy detail. "You guys dry humped though." Kristin confirmed this with a laugh. "Yeah, we did." This all happened back at the live show. Kristin told her audience she had "nothing to f--king do with" the reveal when it eventually aired. It is definitely a wild story.

Glen Powell's Past Relationships And What The Public Knew About Them

A Look At The High-Profile Connections And Rumors Surrounding The Hollywood Star

While his connection to Sydney Sweeney got a lot of headlines, that was not Powell's first big relationship that caught public attention. Before she found love with Shaun White, Nina Dobrev was dating Glen Powell. Their relationship ended after about a year. But the two stars have remained friendly. They have been seen chatting at awards shows. They have even gone to each other's birthday parties. In between his relationships, Powell was also linked to Australian TV host Renée Bargh. Let's go back to how it all started for him in the public eye.

Powell and The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev first sparked rumors in early 2017. They spent New Year's together in Texas where Powell is from. He quickly showed up at her film premiere for xXx: Return of Xander Cage. He later went to her La La Land-themed birthday party where they dressed as Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling's characters. That was a clear public announcement of their relationship. By that summer, people were confirming the romance. But by November, they had quietly paused their relationship. Reports said it was because of Dobrev's busy filming schedule. The split seemed pretty calm. They were seen laughing together at a 2020 Golden Globes afterparty. They even reunited in 2022 at the Omega Masters with Dobrev’s now-fiancé Shaun White. It seems they are genuinely good friends.

In 2018, Powell was linked to Australian TV host Renée Bargh. They reportedly dated for about six months. They were spotted together at Powell’s '80s-themed 30th birthday party. Interestingly his ex Nina Dobrev was also on the guest list. Hollywood is a small world. This relationship was low-key and did not last long. By late 2019, Bargh told Daily Mail she was single. She was ready to meet a "good Aussie boy." This hinted she was done with the all-American actor. It sounds like she was ready for something different. Sometimes things just do not work out. That is just how life is.

Glen and model Gigi Paris were first seen on vacation in Mexico in 2020. By 2021, their relationship was official on Instagram. They posted cute pictures together. They walked red carpets as a couple. They even attended the Top Gun: Maverick premiere together. Powell spoke highly of her on social media saying "Wherever you are, the sun shines brighter. Every day is perfect because you’re in it." He even said she was the first person to send him TikToks joking about his beach scene in the movie. But by April 2023, the couple had broken up. A source told People that they split while Powell was filming Anyone But You in Australia. The long distance was reportedly tough for Paris. The rumors with Sydney Sweeney probably did not help the situation either.

Addressing The Sydney Sweeney Rumors And Glen Powell's Thoughts On Them

The Truth Behind The On-Screen Chemistry That Had Everyone Talking About A Real-Life Romance

No, Glen and Sydney never actually dated. But that did not stop the rumors from spreading like wildfire. While promoting Anyone But You, they were very flirty. They touched each other often. They had witty conversations. Powell insists it was all part of the rom-com promotion. He did say it was not easy acting out a fake relationship while his real one was ending. This must have been tough for him during a busy time.

"I was with someone that I really loved and cared about and was trying to kind of make sense of a lot of stuff," he told Business Insider. He added 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." This shows that actors sometimes have to perform even when dealing with their own private struggles. The rumors started up again when Sweeney broke off her own engagement. She then attended Powell’s sister’s wedding in Texas. But TMZ confirmed that they did not go to the wedding together. Sweeney was invited on her own. Even Powell’s mom felt the need to talk about the dating rumors after that. She told the Daily Mail "They've known each other for so long and they've both been single and together and with other people. They could have made anything happen that they wanted to at any point." She also said Powell was focusing on his career. Sweeney’s people said the same about her. It seems the public just really wanted them to be together.

Glen Powell's Unexpected Step Into The Condiment World With Smash Kitchen

Beyond The Big Screen: A Look At The Star's Less Glamorous But Still Interesting Side Business

Glen Powell might be one of Hollywood’s busiest leading men. But can you really make it in this business without a side project? With a dog named Brisket, it makes sense that Powell would launch a line of condiments. Some of my co-workers pointed out that testing his sauces meant we finally got to taste Glen Powell’s juice. It is called Smash Kitchen. I do not usually buy ketchup or mustard since I do not have many cookouts. But Smash Kitchen’s sauces seem quite affordable.

They are sold only online and in some Walmarts. The eight different condiments include ketchup, hot-honey ketchup, mustard, Dijon mustard, mayo, spicy mayo, BBQ sauce, and hot-honey BBQ sauce. All of them cost less than $5. We ordered all eight but sadly the regular mayo was missing from our batch. They are all organic, non-GMO, and do not have high-fructose corn syrup. Some were better than others based on various reviews from people who tried them. The hot-honey ketchup seemed to be a favorite for many. Reviewers called it "good" and "surprisingly" their favorite. However, the regular ketchup got mixed reviews. Some found it "flavorless" or with a "weird edge." The spicy mayo was also a bit of a letdown for some, described as "tasteless and disgusting." On the other hand, the Dijon mustard got good marks with one person saying "Grey Poupon on notice!" The BBQ sauces were generally liked, described as "sweet and tangy without being too smoky." It sounds like a mixed bag of flavors.

It is always interesting to see what actors do when they are not making movies. A condiment line is definitely an unexpected choice. It shows that Glen Powell has a creative side beyond acting. Whether his sauces become a staple in kitchens or just a fun celebrity novelty remains to be seen. But it is certainly a talking point. It adds another layer to his public persona. He is not just a charming actor on screen. He is also a man who is trying to sell you some mustard. I guess that is a pretty relatable move for anyone.
