Michelle Randolph Addresses Questions About Her Relationship with Glen Powell
In December 2025, Us Weekly reported that Michelle Randolph had begun casually dating Glen Powell, sparking widespread interest among pop culture fans. A month later, Randolph spoke out about the rumors and the toll the public speculation had taken on her well-being. In an interview with InStyle published in January 2026, she said,
“I think, for peace of mind, those are really important for me to keep separate,”
highlighting the challenge of managing public perception versus private reality. She added,
“How people perceive you publicly is not who you are.”
Randolph also admitted the difficulty of avoiding online commentary, explaining,
“It’s hard to not [read the comments] because it’s so in our face, and everyone’s online. So you see things that you don’t necessarily want to, and then it puts you in a bad mood for the rest of the day or hurts your feelings. It’s not smart to let that define you because that’s not real.”
Earlier, Randolph expressed similar thoughts in a Bustle interview, saying,
“I think my personal life is so separate than my work life,”
and added,
“And I understand that my job is something public, and I’ve chosen that … but I just think for my peace of mind, I just try to keep those things as separate as possible. And it’s hard, but it’s important to me.”
She also praised Powell, calling him a wonderful actor.

“I don’t want to share what it is I’ve probably learned,”
before continuing,
“I don’t think anything good comes from that because it’s your personal life. It should be personal and reserved for yourself and those who are close to you. So, ironically, I think I’ve learned that I want to keep it private.”
