This echoes what his mother, Cyndy Powell, told the press earlier in the week, when she insisted, “We love Sydney. We’ve considered her just a really, really good friend... We all were together so much, and we haven’t seen her in a long time. She’s really a friend and we all enjoy her.” Powell and Sweeney are such good friends that he even showed up to support her when she hosted Saturday Night Live in March 2024, making an appearance during a gag in her monologue.
