Before she began dating Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift was with actor Joe Alwyn for about six and a half years. While Alwyn has not spoken much about their relationship in the past, he opened up about it a little bit in a recent interview.
Joe Alwyn recently spoke to The Guardian about his upcoming film, “The Brutalist.” During the conversation, he was asked about his relationship with Taylor Swift.
During the interview, Alwyn was asked whether or not he was concerned that his relationship with the pop sensation would overshadow his own acting career.
Alwyn didn’t seem that concerned about it.
“I have tried just to focus on controlling what I can control,” Alwyn said. “And, right from the beginning, tried to focus on the things that are meaningful for me: friends, family, work, of course. So noise outside of that, I think I’ve done what lots of people who find themselves in the public eye do, which is just try and ignore it.”
Alwyn made it clear that he thinks that’s the only real way to approach the situation.
“If you don’t, and if you let all of that other stuff in, and if it starts to affect you and your behaviour, you’re living from the outside in. And then you’re pretty [screwed],” he said.
Alwyn also made it very clear that he has moved on from the relationship – and he thinks it’s time for others to do that, too.
“That’s something for other people to do,” he said. “We’re talking about something that’s a while ago now in my life. So that’s for other people. That’s what I feel.”
Meanwhile, Swift seems happy with Kelce.
