Taylor Swift & Joe Alwyn Breakup: They Reportedly Couldn’t Overcome ‘Rough Patches’ Anymore
On Saturday (April 8), news broke that Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn had an “amicable split weeks ago.” While the 33-year-old singer and the 32-year-old British actor still have yet to publicly comment on their breakup, fans of the singer already kind of had an inkling.
It was shared that since March 17, Taylor has been on her big ‘Eras’ tour, and fans have noticed that Taylor’s now-ex-beau had not been with her.

Seemingly confirming the news, sources spoke with with ‘Page Six,’ ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ and more about the couple calling it quits, noting how there was no bad blood between the two exes, but things just fizzled out.
The sources stated, “It wasn’t dramatic. [The relationship] just ran its course. It’s why [Joe] hasn’t been spotted at any shows.”

Since the initial reports of Taylor and Joe splitting, a source gave a little bit more insight to ‘PEOPLE Magazine.’ The source says their breakup with largely caused by “differences in their personalities.”

The source added, “They’ve had rough patches before and always worked things out, so friends thought they would take some time apart but eventually come back together.”
They continued to note that “ultimately,” Taylor and Joe “weren’t the right fight for one another.”
They also said, “They had plenty in common and fell in love in a safe bubble while she was retreating from the world during [her 2017 studio album] ‘Reputation.’ Then the pandemic hit, and they were locked down together and able to continue growing their relationship in this insulated way. But he didn’t really ‘know’ her yet outside of that bubble.”
Throughout their relationship, however, the couple would keep things pretty tightlipped and private. Especially when they sparked engagement rumors, in the latter part of their relationship.
In Taylor’s 2020 Netflix documentary, ‘Miss Americana,’ she wore what appeared to be an engagement ring on her left hand’s ring finger. The fan speculation was never confirmed.
Then some Swifties were truly convinced that the couple secretly got married at one point after that, but sources confirmed with several news outlets, that that was not the case.
Additionally, the source who spoke with ‘PEOPLE‘ also noted, “Joe has struggled with Taylor’s level of fame and the attention from the public. The differences in their personalities have also become harder to ignore after years together. They’ve grown apart.”
However, the source continued, “They are friendly. She doesn’t have anything bad to say about Joe. They just grew apart. Taylor is staying very focused on her tour right now. There is a lot of respect still between them.”
