Glen Powell and Michelle Randolph's New Romance is Revealed
To the dismay of many fans, it appears Glen Powell is in a low-key relationship with actress Michelle Randolph, as confirmed exclusively by an insider to Us Weekly.
"This relationship is quite recent," reveals the confidential source. "They began exploring their connection sometime in October and have aimed to keep it private for nearly two months."
According to the insider, Powell, 37, and Randolph, 28, are "enjoying their time together," though he "is not currently looking for a public partnership or a deeply committed relationship."
Whispers of a romance between them began circulating last month after a TikTok video surfaced, showing them dancing at an establishment in Powell's native Austin, Texas.

The Running Man actor and Randolph crossed paths because she "is acquainted with his sister, Leslie, and moves within similar social circles in Los Angeles," a source informed Us. Furthermore, "they share numerous mutual friends," the insider added.
"They've been dedicating more time to each other in recent weeks, as both have had a hiatus from their filming schedules," the source further states. "She's been in Texas frequently this past year for shooting [Landman for Paramount+], which is a shared experience with Glen. Although a California native, Michelle has developed a genuine affection for Texas, creating a strong connection between them."
Despite the nascent stage of Powell's connection with Randolph, the insider confirms she has already been introduced to his family "on several occasions, and they universally find her to be kind and charming." The 1923 actor received a "laid-back invitation" from her to attend her sister Cassie Randolph‘s wedding to musician Brighton Reinhardt in Costa Rica on Friday, December 5, though the source notes it remains "uncertain whether he will attend." (Cassie, 30, achieved fame after winning Colton Underwood‘s season of The Bachelor in 2019, later becoming engaged to Reinhardt, 28, last year.)
Us Weekly has contacted representatives for both Powell and Michelle seeking their comments.

Powell's most recent relationship was with model Gigi Paris, lasting from 2020 to 2023. Their breakup coincided with widespread speculation linking the actor to his Anyone But You costar Sydney Sweeney, although both stars have consistently maintained that they intentionally fueled these rumors as a promotional tactic for their movie. Powell confessed to The New York Times in 2024 that the strategy "achieved excellent results" for the romantic comedy but reaffirmed that they were never romantically involved.
Before his relationship with Paris, Powell was involved with Extra correspondent Renee Bargh from 2018 to 2019, and actress Nina Dobrev in 2017.
An exclusive source informed Us last month that the Chad Powers actor had been "dating occasionally" but was "unwilling to enter another highly public relationship at this point, particularly given the extensive public reaction to his camaraderie with Sydney."
"He wishes for that aspect of his life never to be its primary focus," the insider clarified. "He's taking his time. He considers himself a romantic and has expressed a desire to discover his soulmate. However, his career currently commands most of his attention."
Michelle, on her side, previously dated Wizards of Waverly Place veteran Gregg Sulkin from 2018 until 2023.
