Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift's Relationship: A Private and Long-Lasting Love Story
Joe Alwyn, the British actor known for his roles in films like 'The Favourite' and 'Mary Queen of Scots,' was in a 6.5-year long relationship with Taylor Swift, the renowned American singer-songwriter. The couple kept their relationship private and decided not to commodify it, as Alwyn shared during an interview with The Sunday Times Style magazine.
The public became aware of their split only a week after it happened in April 2023. Entertainment Tonight reported the news earlier, but the actual timeline was much tighter than that. Swift released her song 'Tortured Poets' a year later, which contained lyrics about their relationship.
Alwyn revealed that he and Swift had agreed to keep their relationship private and felt fortunate to be in a great place in his life personally and professionally. He declined to discuss whether he is still in touch with Swift or seeing someone new, citing the high level of scrutiny surrounding his past relationship.
Swift has since moved on and is currently dating NFL star Travis Kelce. The couple's breakup was largely due to differences in their personalities, according to a source close to them.
Alwyn made his peace with the gap between what is known and what is said about his past relationship. He emphasized that everyone can empathize with the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving relationship. The outside world may dissect, speculate, and pull things out of shape beyond recognition, but Alwyn tries to live in reality and away from online noise.
