Hollywood’s rumor mill has been abuzz in recent weeks, as a swirl of viral videos and insider whispers have brought new attention to the budding relationship between actor Glen Powell and rising star Michelle Randolph. The pair, both familiar faces in the entertainment industry, have been spotted together at several events since October 2025, prompting fans and media alike to speculate about the nature of their connection. While neither has publicly confirmed their status, the details that have emerged paint a picture of a romance that’s as intriguing as it is carefully guarded.
The speculation kicked into high gear in late November 2025, when a TikTok video surfaced showing Powell, 37, and Randolph, 28, dancing together at the iconic Broken Spoke dance hall in Austin, Texas. According to IBTimes, the footage captured the two swaying and twirling on the crowded dance floor, with Powell spinning Randolph around in a display that looked anything but staged. The same video also showed Powell dancing with his mother, suggesting a laid-back family night out rather than a publicity stunt. Still, fans couldn’t help but notice the chemistry between Powell and Randolph, and the clip quickly made the rounds on social media platforms.
Behind the scenes, sources have told People and Us Weekly that Powell and Randolph began exploring a connection around October 2025. Their romance, described by insiders as “very new,” has reportedly been kept low-key as both actors juggle busy filming schedules. Randolph, who first found fame as a model before landing her breakout role in the series 1923, spent much of the past year in Texas filming Landman. According to those close to the couple, this shared time in Texas helped strengthen their bond, and Randolph has also become friends with Powell’s sister, Leslie.
“They started seeing where things would go around October and have been trying to keep it under the radar for almost two months now,” a source told Us Weekly. Another insider added, “They have been spending more time together in the last few weeks since they both have a break from filming. She’s spent a lot of time in Texas this last year filming Landman and has that in common with Glen. Being from California, Michelle has really grown to love Texas, and they have bonded over it.”
Despite the mounting attention, Powell appears intent on keeping things private. As reported by IBTimes, the actor “does not want to be public with anyone or be in a serious relationship right now.” This attitude is consistent with his previous comments about prioritizing his career and maintaining a degree of privacy in his personal life. Powell, best known for roles in Top Gun: Maverick, The Hit Man, and Running Man, was previously in a relationship with model Gigi Paris from 2020 to 2023. In a September interview with GQ, Powell reflected on that past romance, saying, “I will always have nothing but love for her and respect.”
Randolph, for her part, is no stranger to the spotlight. In addition to her acting achievements, she’s known for her previous relationship with actor Gregg Sulkin, which began in October 2018 and quietly ended by 2023. The two were frequent fixtures at red-carpet events and on social media, but their breakup was handled discreetly, with photos disappearing from their accounts and no official statement issued.
Randolph’s family has also been in the news lately, as her sister Cassie Randolph, a former contestant on The Bachelor, married musician Brighton Reinhardt in a romantic destination wedding in Costa Rica on December 6, 2025. As reported by Us Weekly and Deuxmoi, Michelle attended the ceremony, supporting her sister on her special day. Cassie, who shared photos of the event on Instagram and described it as “the wedding I have always dreamed of — romantic, magical, and absolutely perfect,” wore a Betsey Johnson A-line bridal gown and later changed into a reception dress from the same designer. The couple’s engagement, which took place at Crystal Cove Cottages in Newport Beach in November 2024, featured a custom 5.04 carat elongated cushion cut ring that Michelle helped design with jeweler Lake McGuire.
While Michelle’s own romantic life is now under the microscope, she seems to be navigating the attention with care. According to People, Randolph has already met some members of Powell’s family and is described by insiders as “sweet and lovely.” Still, both she and Powell have refrained from making any public statements about their relationship, and their representatives have not responded to media inquiries. This silence has only fueled further speculation, especially as fans dissect every social media post and public appearance for clues.
Adding another layer to the story, Powell was recently spotted dining in Los Angeles with country singer Megan Moroney, who was in town to receive the Variety Hitmakers Storyteller of the Year award. Whiskey Riff reported that Moroney, who has previously expressed interest in Powell, was seen out with him and a group of friends. While it’s unclear whether the outing was a date or simply a social gathering, it has sparked fresh rumors about Powell’s dating life. Moroney, whose third studio album Cloud 9 is set for release in February 2026, has been linked in the past to fellow country artists Morgan Wallen and Riley Green.
Despite the occasional appearance with other celebrities, the consensus among entertainment outlets is that Powell and Randolph’s romance remains “very new” and private. As Us Weekly put it, they’re “having fun together,” but Powell isn’t looking “to be public with anyone or be in a serious relationship right now.” The two reportedly first met through Powell’s sister Leslie, with whom Randolph shares “many mutual friends.”
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time Powell and Randolph have been seen together in a public setting. A few months prior to the viral TikTok, Powell took Randolph as his date to a Chad Powers series premiere party, further fueling speculation about their relationship status. Still, the lack of official confirmation leaves plenty of room for interpretation — and for fans to keep guessing.
In Hollywood, where relationships often play out in the glare of the public eye, Powell and Randolph’s approach stands out for its restraint. Whether their connection will deepen or fade remains to be seen, but for now, their story is a reminder that even in an age of instant sharing, some stars still prefer to keep a little mystery in their lives.
