Glen Powell’s girlfriendGigi Parisappeared to be hinting at a breakup when sheshared a videoof herself walking alone on Instagram Wednesday with the caption: “know your worth & onto the next.”
But a source tells PEOPLE the couple, who started dating in 2019 andwere first spotted togethervacationing in Punta Mita, Mexico, in January 2020, had called it quits several weeks ago — and it wasn’t the first time.
“Gigi and Glen had broken up several times,” the source tells PEOPLE. “They had been on the rocks sinceTop Guncame out. Gigi was never happy with the long distance filming and when she came to Australia [where Powell was filmingAnyone But You] they both decided to break up for good.”
Though speculation about Powell’s chemistry with hisAnyone But Youcostar Sydney Sweeney (who is engaged to Jonathan Davino) grew louder when it appeared that Paris had unfollowed Sweeney on social media, a second source says there’s no truth to the rumors.
“Gigi only unfollowed Sydney on social media because Sydney never followed her back. This had nothing to do with Glen and Sydney. Gigi is aware that Glen and Sydney never hooked up,” the source says, adding that the model felt the distance when Glen was on set. “He takes his work very seriously and it was tough on the relationship.”
And as to Powell and Sweeney’s friendly vibes on set? “They’re filming a movie that’s a romantic comedy!” the second insider says. “It’s like when people say about movie stars, ‘Oh, they have such good chemistry.’ It’s just their job. They’re friends that met on set. They’re costars.”
The first source echoes that distance is what drove Powell and Paris apart: “It wasn’t about infidelity. She’s on different coasts modeling, he’s on different coasts filming. When she left, they were on great terms.”
