It's been over a year since Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift ended their not-so-private love relationship.
While Swift has been open about her feelings through her music, hinting at a heartbreak, Alwyn has remained quiet about the split - until now.
In a recent interview, the British actor addressed his breakup with the global superstar, "I'm good, I'm great,” he said, finally putting to rest all rumours.
Alwyn's response may have been short and seemingly unyielding, but it reaffirms his stance on keeping the split away from the public eye, even though it can be considered a high-profile split.
Alwyn and Swift's relationship garnered a lot of buzz from paparazzi, and many rumours about their romance were circulating. However, the couple remained private, with Alwyn rarely publicly speaking about their relationship.
We believe the actor's decision to keep his personal life private is a deliberate choice that he believes is essential in maintaining a healthy relationship.
"I didn't want to be a part of that [media scrutiny]," Alwyn admitted in the interview.
"I just wanted to be able to go about my day without being bothered."
Although Alwyn's silence on the matter might have fueled speculation about him struggling to cope with the end of their relationship, his recent interview has dismissed such sentiments and dealt with the public scrutiny.
"I'm not upset about it," he assured the interviewer. "I'm good, I'm great."
Alwyn's response to the breakup is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual celebrity drama that often ensues after a high-profile couple splits. His choice to prioritize his privacy and remain unaffected by the criticism from fans demonstrates his commitment to moving forward.
Instead of getting caught up in the typical drama that accompanies celebrity relationships, he has been able to concentrate on his career and personal development.
What Moving Forward Might Entail For The Ex-Lovers

Finally, Joe Alwyn's recent interview has restated any speculation about his mental/emotional state following the breakup with Taylor Swift. His decision to handle this privately has proven that online vitriols and toxicity can be rightly navigated despite intense media scrutiny.
