Glen and Sydney Attend His Sister’s Wedding Together in Texas
Glen and Sydney were both in Dallas, Texas, over the weekend to celebrate the wedding of Glen’s sister, Leslie Powell, to Thomas Gillespie. The event took place on Saturday and brought together family and close friends. Many have suspected for a while that Glen, 36, and Sydney, 27, might be more than just friends. The recent news of Sydney’s breakup with her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, 41, only added to the speculation. However, Glen’s mother has now explained what was really going on at the wedding and why Sydney was there.

Cyndy Powell made it clear in an exclusive phone call with the Daily Mail that there is no romance between her son and Sydney. “They’re definitely not together,” she said. She explained that Sydney was simply at the wedding as a guest and was there with her best friend. According to Cyndy, Sydney has been close to the Powell family for a long time, especially to Glen’s sister Leslie, who is a singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. Sydney had planned to attend the wedding long before her breakup and had RSVP’d with a plus-one.
Glen’s Mom Calls the Dating Rumors ‘Silly’
Despite the rumors, Cyndy Powell dismissed the idea that Glen and Sydney are secretly dating. She called the speculation “silly” and said that nothing is happening behind closed doors. She described Glen as a caring and family-oriented person who has a strong circle of friends. “Sydney is a friend, just like so many others. They’ve known each other for years. If they wanted to be together, they would have done it already,” she said. Glen’s mom also mentioned that he has always been surrounded by a great group of people who support each other, and Sydney is part of that group.
Would Glen’s Mom Approve If They Started Dating?
When asked if she would like to see her son and Sydney as a couple, Cyndy gave a diplomatic answer. “That is none of my business,” she said. She only wants Glen to find someone who truly loves him, and she hopes he finds happiness with the right person. She also believes that now is not the right time for Glen to settle down. “He’s too busy at the moment,” she said. “But he is a family man. One day, he wants to have a family and his happily ever after, but that time hasn’t come yet.”

Photos from Wedding Weekend Add to the Speculation
The wedding was a joyful event, but it also attracted a lot of attention. Cyndy admitted that she wished the rehearsal dinner had been held at a more private location.

The images quickly spread, leading to even more speculation about their relationship.
