Who Are Glen Powell’s Ex-Girlfriends? A Look at Chad Powers Star’s Personal Life

Glen Powell became one of Hollywood’s most sought-after heartthrobs, with fans eager to learn about the girlfriends of the Chad Powers star.

Disney+ is set to launch the sports comedy Chad Powers on Tuesday, September 30, with Powell starring as former quarterback legend Russ Holliday. The character’s career is ruined during a crucial match, and eight years later, desperate to return to the field, he assumes the identity of “Chad Powers” and joins a struggling football squad to reclaim his past glory.

Powell, 36, is well-known for his roles in romantic comedies such as Anyone But You alongside Sydney Sweeney and 2018’s Set It Up with Zoey Deutch. With the actor returning to screens in a very different role, here’s a look at his romantic history.

Nina Dobrev

Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev was Powell’s first high-profile public romance. Speculation about their relationship surfaced in January 2017 after New Year’s celebrations in Texas. Powell attended Dobrev’s La La Land-themed birthday party that same month, dressing as Ryan Gosling’s character while she portrayed Emma Stone, replicating the movie’s iconic pose.

Later in 2017, reports suggested the pair had taken a break due to their busy schedules. They appear to have remained friends, as Dobrev attended the London premiere of Powell’s Top Gun: Maverick in 2022 alongside Olympic snowboarder Sean White, to whom she was previously engaged.

Renee Bargh

Following his split from Dobrev, Powell was linked to Australian TV presenter Renee Bargh. The pair were spotted together in November 2018 at Powell’s 1980s-themed birthday bash, which was also attended by Dobrev, Chord Overstreet, John Stamos, and other celebrities.

The relationship did not last long, as Bargh revealed to the Daily Mail in 2019 that she was single and looking for a “good Aussie boy.”

Gigi Paris

Powell began dating model Gigi Paris about five years ago, initially spotted together on a romantic holiday in Mexico. They made their relationship Instagram official a year later.

The couple dated for three years, but in April 2023, their split was confirmed. A source told People: “Gigi and Glen had broken up several times. They had been on the rocks since Top Gun came out. Gigi was never happy with the long-distance filming, and when she came to Australia [where Powell was filming Anyone But You] they both decided to break up for good.”

Sydney Sweeney

Fans have speculated about Powell’s relationship with Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney due to their undeniable on-screen chemistry, although both actors have denied any romantic involvement.

During filming, Sweeney was engaged to producer Jonathan Davino, but they ended their relationship in May 2025. Powell told Business Insider that their playful banter increased while promoting the film, crediting Sweeney for their chemistry: “I’ll pretty much give Sydney all the credit for this. I don’t have the mental capacity to pull anything like this off, but she’s very smart. I had such a wonderful journey with her on this thing.”
