During a recent interview with The Sunday Times Style Magazine, the well-known private actor discussed the relationship’s end. The couple parted ways in March 2023. Neither appear to have spoke about the split until now.
“I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years,” Joe Alwyn said about his split from Taylor Swift.
“That is a hard thing to navigate. What is unusual and abnormal in this situation is that, one week later, it’s suddenly in the public domain and the outside world is able to weigh in.”
Alwyn also said that his and Swift’s “very real” experience. However, that was suddenly thrown into the “very unreal space” of headlines, social, and press. He said that the break-up was “dissected, speculated on, pulled out of shape beyond recognition.”
“And the truth is, to that last point, there is always going to be a gap between what is known and what is said,” Joe Alwyn continued. “I have made my peace with that.”
Despite previous speculation that he was the one who wanted to keep the relationship private, Joe Alwyn said he and Taylor Swift made that decision together.
“It was never something to commodify, and I see no reason to change that now,” he said. “Look, this is also a little over a year ago now, and I feel fortunate to be in a really great place in my life — professionally and personally. I feel really good.”
Taylor Swift Said Her Relationship With Joe Alwyn Wasn’t Up for Discussion
During a 2019 interview with The Guardian, Taylor Swift was asked about her relationship with Joe Alwyn. She made it clear that the relationship wasn’t a topic of discussion.
“I’ve learned that if I do, people think it’s up for discussion, and our relationship isn’t up for discussion,” she explained. “If you and I were having a glass of wine right now, we’d be talking about it. But it’s just that it goes out into the world.”
“That’s where the boundary is, and that’s where my life has become manageable. I really want to keep it feeling manageable.”
Months after her break-up from Alwyn, Swift moved on and is now dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce. The relationship has dominated headlines and is without as much privacy.
Meanwhile, Joe Alwyn is now in a relationship. However, the identity of his new love has yet to be revealed.
