Top Gun Maverick star Glen Powell, 37, sparked buzz after being spotted on a cozy night out with rising actress Michelle Randolph at The Broken Spoke, a well known honky tonk in Austin, Texas. TMZ reported on the 24th that the pair danced closely together, with eyewitnesses noting that Randolph bears a striking resemblance to Powell’s former co star Sydney Sweeney, whose name had previously been linked to his following persistent romance rumors.
An insider shared that Powell invited Randolph to the premiere party for his show Chad Powers months earlier, suggesting their connection has been developing quietly for some time.
Though they avoided overt displays of affection, their intimate dancing and lingering eye contact drew attention. Powell recently ended his long term relationship with model Gigi Paris and later faced speculation about a romance with his Anyone But You co star Sydney Sweeney, a rumor he dismissed as friendship.
However, the similarities between Randolph and Sweeney have reignited public curiosity about Powell’s evolving love life.
Randolph, a Napa Valley native now at the center of the dating buzz, is rapidly emerging as one of Hollywood’s most in-demand newcomers.
She will appear in Landman, a new series from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, playing Ainsley Norris, the free-spirited daughter of characters portrayed by Billy Bob Thornton and Ali Larter.
Randolph is also set to return as Elizabeth Strafford in Season 2 of Sheridan’s 1923, sharing the screen with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, and her repeated collaborations with Sheridan have earned her a reputation as his creative muse.
Powell, meanwhile, continues his ascent in Hollywood, with consecutive successes in Top Gun Maverick and Anyone But You solidifying his A-list status.
His passion project Hitman, which he co wrote and produced, has received critical acclaim, and he has multiple major projects ahead, including Edgar Wright’s highly anticipated Running Man, slated for release on December 10.
