Joe Alwyn responds to Taylor Swift engagement rumours
Actor says he won’t be spilling the beans even if they were engaged
Singer Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Joe Alwyn has responded to rumours that they are engaged, without saying much about their relationship.
“If I had a pound for every time I think I’ve been told I’ve been engaged, then I’d have a lot of pound coins,” the British actor told WSJ. Magazine in an interview published on Wednesday.
“I mean, the truth is, if the answer was yes, I wouldn’t say, and if the answer was no, I wouldn’t say,” he added.
In the past few months, rumours about the actor and Grammy winning singer being engaged have ramped up, with one publication claiming the proposal took place during a trip to Cornwall in January.
Alwyn and Swift have been dating for around six years and have been notoriously private about their relationship — and there’s a reason for that.
“We live in a culture that people expect so much to be given,” Alwyn said. “So that if you’re not posting all the time about what you’re doing, how you’re spending a day or how you made a breakfast, does that make you a recluse?”
Swift, known for songs such as ‘Love Story’ and ‘Shake It Off’, has also been candid about why she does not talk about her relationship.
“I’ve learned that if I do, people think it’s up for discussion, and our relationship isn’t up for discussion,” Swift told The Guardian in 2019.
