Over the years, Alwyn and Swift have kept their relationship private, deflecting engagement rumors. As Alwynpreviously toldWSJ. Magazine, “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 added at the time, “I mean, the truth is, if the answer was yes, I wouldn’t say, and if the answer was no, I wouldn’t say.”

“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,” said the source, noting that “ultimately” Swift and Alwyn “weren’t the right fit for one another.”
The source added, though, “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.”
