Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn ‘split after six years together’

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have split up after six years, according to reports.

The couple, who started dating in 2016, have kept much of their relationship out of the spotlight but it has been reported that they broke up several weeks ago.

Swift, 33, is currently on her The Eras Tour. Conversations With Friends actor Alwyn, 32, has not been spotted at any of her shows since she began performing on March 18.

A source told website Entertainment Tonight that the split was amicable and “not dramatic”, adding the relationship had “just run its course”.

Music superstar Swift is believed to have met Joe in 2016 at the Met Gala in New York, and they started dating that October.

In 2021 it was revealed the couple live together in a £7million home in North London, although she frequently returns to the US, where she also has lavish properties.

The famously discreet couple had only been pictured on the red carpet a handful of times.

Alwyn explained last year why he did not wish to discuss his relationship with the singer in the press.

Speaking to the Guardian, he said: “It’s just not for other people. And I don’t say that with aggression. I don’t know how best to talk about it.

“I mean, I’m aware of people’s… of that size of interest and that world existing. It’s just not something I particularly care about, or have much interest in feeding, I guess, because the more it’s fed, the more you are opening a gate for intrusion.”

Taylor Swift has previously dated a string of superstars including Tom Hiddleston, Harry Styles and Calvin Harris.
