Sources reveal Joe Alwyn’s reaction to Taylor Swift’s engagement
According to RadarOnline.com, Joe Alwyn has had a “complicated” reaction to the news of Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce, but insiders say the actor is handling it with “calm dignity.” Alwyn, 34, dated Swift, 35, for six years before their 2023 breakup.
Sources close to him say he’s moved on, though the engagement brought up “some unexpected emotions.” Swift announced her engagement to Kelce, 36, in an Instagram post reading, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” which broke platform records with over 37.6 million likes.
A source said, “Joe isn’t holding onto any resentment – he’s just being practical about it. He knows that part of his life is done. He genuinely hopes Taylor’s happy, but he doesn’t see a reason to reach out or say congratulations.” Despite the attention surrounding Swift’s engagement, he has chosen to remain silent and focused on his career.
Swift and Alwyn’s relationship remained notably private, a stance the actor has continued to uphold. Another insider added, “What they had was real and meaningful… Still, seeing her engaged after everything they went through is bound to stir some emotions.”
In an interview, Alwyn reflected on their breakup: “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.” He added, “It was never something to commodify, and I see no reason to change that now.” (via Deadline)
Sources say he’s focused on work, “keeping himself grounded,” and blocking “out the background noise.”
