One of iconic singer Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriends, Joe Alwyn, has spoken about the relationship.

Speaking to The Guardian, Alwyn asked “other people” to stop discussing the relationship, which ended in 2023 before she started dating Travis Kelce. He has seemingly moved on and wishes for others to do so as well.

“That's something for other people to do,” Alwyn said about wanting people to move on from the relationship. “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.”

Alwyn is an actor who started his career in 2016, appearing in Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. He then had roles in The Sense of an Ending and Operation Finale.

His breakthrough came when he starred in Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favourite. He has since starred in the director's 2024 movie Kinds of Kindness.
