During an interview with People at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in May, Powers described their relationship as familial. “I think partnership really works when you really do look at your partner (the way you would look at) siblings, in a way,” he shared. He acknowledged that disagreements are inevitable, but emphasized their ability to overcome them. “We could fight. We might not talk to each other for a minute. But we love each other. We come back. You know what I’m saying? And I feel like for me and Ryan … it’s like this is family.”
Powers further elaborated on the ease and depth of their connection, stating, “It’s just like we’re so locked in and we just get each other’s jokes and it’s just easy. We just flow honestly. And she teaches me a lot. I don’t know if I teach her stuff, but she teaches me so much. She’s made me a better artist, so it’s been great.”
