Glen Powell has sparked fresh buzz across Hollywood after insiders revealed he has been quietly spending time with actress Michelle Randolph. Their connection grew behind the scenes, far from red carpets and social media glare, and the secrecy only fueled curiosity.

Now, sources close to the pair say something meaningful may be unfolding.
Glen Powell and Michelle Randolph Grow Closer While Keeping Their Romance Private
Glen Powell’s private life has always captured attention, and the latest chapter involves his growing bond with Michelle Randolph. A source confirmed to US Weekly that Powell is “casually seeing” the Yellowstone: 1923 actress, sharing that “It’s very new.” According to the insider, “They started seeing where things would go around October and have been trying to keep it under the radar for almost two months now.” Their decision to stay quiet created a sense of intrigue around their interactions.
Fans first noticed their chemistry when a TikTok user posted a clip of them dancing at a bar in Powell’s hometown of Austin. The moment spread quickly and reignited the conversation about Powell’s love life. The insider explained that the Running Man star and Randolph met through his sister, revealing she “is friends with his sister Leslie and runs in a similar circle in L.A.” Their overlapping social circles helped the two feel comfortable as they began spending more time together.
Their schedules also contributed to that connection. Both actors recently stepped away from filming commitments, creating more opportunities to bond. “They have been spending more time together in the last few weeks since they both have a break from filming,” the source said. Another insider added more detail, sharing, “She’s spent a lot of time in Texas this last year filming [Landman on Paramount+] and has that in common with Glen. Being from California, Michelle has really grown to love Texas, and they have bonded over it.”
Randolph has already met Powell’s family. According to the insider, she has visited them “a few times, and they all think she is sweet and lovely.” Despite that progress, Powell maintains a careful approach. The source emphasized that while the pair is “having fun,” he “does not want to be public with anyone or be in a serious relationship right now.”
Michelle Randolph even extended a relaxed invitation to Powell for her sister Cassie Randolph’s wedding to Brighton Reinhardt in Costa Rica. The insider noted she “casually invited” him, though it remains “unclear if he is going.”
Glen Powell’s Dating Approach Shifts After Past High-Profile Rumors
Glen Powell’s approach to dating reflects past experiences that turned highly public. The actor previously dated model Gigi Paris from 2020 to 2023. Their split arrived during intense speculation about Powell and his Anyone But You costar Sydney Sweeney.
Although the rumors gained momentum, both actors later clarified they played into the chatter for promotional purposes. Powell even told The New York Times in 2024 that “it worked wonderfully” to boost the rom-com’s reach. He maintained that he and Sweeney were never romantically involved.
Prior relationships also shaped his perspective. Powell dated Extra correspondent Renee Bargh from 2018 to 2019 and actress Nina Dobrev in 2017. A source explained last month that the Chad Powers star was “dating here and there” but “not interested in having another public relationship at this time, especially after how everyone reacted to his friendship with Sydney.”
The insider continued, “He doesn’t want that to ever be the focus of his life. He’s not in a rush. He’s a romantic [and] has talked about wanting to find The One. But for now, work is taking up most of his focus.”Michelle Randolph comes into this new chapter after a long-term relationship of her own. She previously dated Wizards of Waverly Place alum Gregg Sulkin from 2018 to 2023.
