The mannequin appeared on Tuesday’s episode of the “Too Much” podcast and spoke at size about her latest break up from what host Emma Klipstein refers to as a “boyfriend of four years,” although Powell shouldn’t be recognized by title.
In accordance with Paris, she and her ex started courting within the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, however discovered themselves at a crossroads when his profession “skyrocketed” as soon as they started resuming their day-to-day life.
“I had no idea what I was getting myself into,” she defined. “I am a family person. I like to be at home with my friends and my family, and I like things simple. But I was also really grateful to experience all that and go to such incredible places and see all the magic. But in seeing all of it, I also saw a lot of what it takes to kind of succeed in that world.”
She went on to notice: “I felt like I was sacrificing a lot to show up and be there for that person, but I don’t know if it was fully reciprocated in hindsight.”

The breaking level, Paris mentioned, got here when her boyfriend selected to prioritize a “PR scheme at the expense of our relationship.”
“I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like: ‘Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she OK with this? What the fuck?’” she mentioned. “Or stand up for myself and say, ‘No, I’m actually not OK with this, and I’m walking away.’ So that’s what I decided to do. It wasn’t a way to monetize the breakup. It wasn’t a way to twist the story around. I was shattered.”
Although Paris notably avoided figuring out the folks concerned on this scenario, she gave the impression to be describing the longstanding rumors of a romance between Powell and his “Anyone but You” co-star Sydney Sweeney.
Talking to The New York Occasions final 12 months, Powell acknowledged he and Sweeney ― who was engaged to producer Jonathan Davino on the time ― opted to “lean into” their “effortless chemistry” whereas selling their movie. To this point, the 2 actors haven’t publicly confirmed a relationship.
Nonetheless, Paris mentioned she felt “blindsided” by the expertise.
“Don’t make a fool out of someone you’ve been with for over three years, talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know?” she mentioned. “And at the end of the day, it was like, ‘Well, work comes first.’ And if that’s the case, power to you, that’s your priority. I got to walk away.”
Although Paris didn’t make clear the standing of her ex-boyfriend’s relationship, she mentioned she was hopeful that he and his co-star would “end up together,” noting: “I hope they are in love or whatnot.”
“I have heard so many different sides of the story. I have no confirmation of what actually happened,” she continued. “I just know what my standards are. And for me, it just wasn’t OK the way it was handled, period.”
Although the precise timeline of their relationship stays unclear, Paris and Powell break up in 2023 ― the identical 12 months “Anyone but You” turned a shock hit on the field workplace.
Hypothesis that Powell and Sweeney are courting started heating up once more in April following information that Sweeney had known as off her engagement to Davino. That very same month, Powell confirmed Sweeney was a visitor at his sister’s Texas marriage ceremony, albeit not as his date.
