Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have been the subjects of engagement rumors for years, and now he’s finally commenting on them!
In a new interview with WSJ. magazine, he quipped, “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.”
He noted, “I mean, the truth is, if the answer was yes, I wouldn’t say, and if the answer was no, I wouldn’t say.” The pair have been dating since 2016.
As for why he prefers to live a private life, he explained, “We live in a culture that people expect so much to be given. 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?”
Joe admitted that he was guarded in interviews because it’s “just a knee-jerk response to the culture we live in.” He emphasized, “If you give it to them, it just opens the door.” Alwyn said something similar in his interview with Elle. He said, “It’s not really [because I] want to be guarded and private, it’s more a response to something else. We live in a culture that is so increasingly intrusive. The more you give and frankly, even if you don’t give it, something will be taken.”
The pair recently stepped out for a date night at a pre-Oscars party. A source told E! News, “Taylor was introducing Joe to many people around her. She looked smitten and proud to be there with him.”
In February, Joe made a rare comment about their relationship while promoting his new Hulu show “Conversations with Friends.”
