Actor Glen Powell has publicly confirmed his relationship with actress Michelle Randolph, making their status Instagram official over the Fourth of July weekend. Powell, 37, shared a series of photos on Tuesday, including a black and white image of himself and Randolph, 28, sharing a kiss. The caption simply read, "Hell of a Fourth."
The carousel post also offered glimpses into the holiday celebration, featuring Randolph dancing at a crowded bar with a DJ and the couple enjoying an outdoor summer bash with friends. Powell's culinary interests were also showcased, with images of chips from Smash Kitchen, an organic and non-GMO brand he co-founded.
The festivities took place at a lakeside property, complete with water slides and various games like beer pong and volleyball. Powell was also seen playing golf.
Romance speculation surrounding Powell and Randolph began late last year. They were first seen together dancing at The Broken Spoke bar in Austin in November. An insider told TMZ at the time that Powell had invited Randolph to a premiere party for his series "Chad Powers" a few months prior.
In December, Us Weekly reported that the pair had started seeing each other in October and were "having fun." A source told the outlet that they had been "trying to keep it under the radar for almost two months now."
Randolph addressed the public's perception of her personal life in interviews earlier this year, emphasizing the importance of privacy. "I think my personal life is so separate than my work life," she told Bustle in February. "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."

Despite their desire for privacy, Powell and Randolph have been seen together on several public outings. In June, they were photographed holding hands during a walk in New York City, and days earlier, they shared a kiss in the same city. Last month, a source told Us Weekly that the couple is now "exclusive" and their relationship has "gotten more serious."
"They started out keeping it pretty casual, but over time, they realized they didn't want to date anyone else and that their feelings for each other were growing," the insider said. The source also indicated that Powell and Randolph have met each other's families, with one remarking, "Michelle is the first person Glen has been able to genuinely see a future with in a long time. He's completely smitten with her and treats her incredibly well."
