Here’s a look at Taylor Swift’s fiance, Joe Alwyn, and how their love story started

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn are reportedly engaged after proposing a few months back. However, the couple is keeping their marriage plans secret. While they have been dating for the last six years, unlike in previous relationships, Swift keeps her private life private this time.

The rumours of Swift and Alwyn’s engagement were sparked when they took a romantic holiday to Cornwall in January 2022. A source close to Alwyn has revealed that they are engaged and will be married in 18 months.

According to an unnamed source, the couple are overjoyed and deeply in love. They are engaged, but the news has been shared only with the innermost circle of their family and friends. These people have been sworn to secrecy. Taylor wears an engagement ring only behind closed doors at home.


The 31-year-old Joe Alwyn is a British actor who gained popularity from the movie Long Halftime Walk. Alwyn has starred in other films like Erased, Mary Queen of Scots, The Favorite, and Harriet. Recently, he starred in Conversation With Friends, a BBC Three series based on Sally Rooney’s book.

Despite being a famous actor and the boyfriend of a renowned singer, Alwyn stated that he hadn’t changed much. He said his recent fame had not affected him as he doesn’t think about it much.

Apparently, Swift and Alwyn met at the Met Gala in 2016. Though it is not a proven fact, fans believe it to be true. The reason is Swift’s 2017 album Revolution, where the lyrics say that when they met for the first time, Alwyn had a buzz cut, and Swift’s hair was bleached.

Referring to the lyrics, fans pointed out that these hairstyles were sported by each star at the Met Gala in 2016. Hence, the theory of the pair meeting therein.

While the news of Swift and Alwyn’s marriage is a best-kept secret, fans eagerly await the revelation.
