Taylor Swift is all loved up, but what is her ex Joe Alwyn up to now?
It looks like he’s single and thriving tbh
News of the breakup between Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn broke the internet in April 2023, when Taylor was just beginning her iconic Eras Tour. I think we all unanimously agreed that the pair would be endgame, but I guess we were all jumping the gun – we’ll never really know what went down behind closed doors. Joe Alwyn is a notoriously private celebrity, and we all definitely saw that during their very closed off relationship. Over the six years they were together, we thought they both enjoyed the privacy, but it seems like Taylor’s happy to show off her new man to the entire world nowadays, so maybe that was more of a Joe problem.
Nonetheless, I’m so intrigued as to what he’s been up to since the breakup, seeing as he doesn’t keep us very well fed with content. Here’s an investigation into what Joe Alwyn has been up to since his breakup with Taylor Swift.
Got very cozy with his co-star, Emma Laird
In April 2023, the month that everything went down, Emma Laird posted this pic in a photo dump titled Moments in March, leading many swifties to speculate that there was a romantic crossover between Taylor and Emma. However, this has never been proved, and there hasn’t been any further evidence to suggest the pair are together.
Attended a play adaptation of Brokeback Mountain
In June 2023, just two months after the breakup news went public, Joe attended a play adaptation of Brokeback Mountain in SoHo. Zendaya and Tom Holland were also there to watch!
Partied with this Conversations With Friends co-stars
Joe was spotted at the Baftas in February partying with his Conversations With Friends co-stars before the awards ceremony. Seems like the cast stayed really good pals!
Attended the Cannes Film Festival
This May, Joe attended the Cannes Film Festival and looked absolutely gorgeous while doing so. He was there thanks to his performance in Acts Of Kindness. No matter what went down, you can’t argue that Taylor has great taste!
Starred in two movies, one alongside Taylor’s bestie
Since the breakup, Joe has starred in two feature films, Acts of Kindness and The Brutalist. They fit his stereotype of being a bit art-house, but he seems to have killed it as usual.
He spoke about the breakup in a classic Joe Alwyn way
Of course, being the private guy he is, he didn’t want to give too much away about his personal relationship. I’m all for people minding their business, but I’m genuinely so intrigued by the couple’s differing statements. Taylor seemed to express herself musically, but in June 2024, Joe just made a flat out comment reflecting his side of things: “I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathise and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years. 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.”
Stunned on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival
Forgive me for posting this to a Taylor Swift song, but Joe Alwyn knows how to serve on a red carpet! He should probably be crowned the king of film festivals at this point.
