Alwyn, 32, posted a carousel of photos Instagram on Monday, February 19, including several black and white photos, a self-portrait and a screenshot of the British version of The office Where Ricky Gervais says, “Different drinks for different needs,” followed by a candid photo with Succession'S Brian Cox. The post ends with a sweet and silly photo of Alwyn as a child.
Alwyn's last Instagram post was on September 5, 2023, with a similar photo dump style. The notoriously private actor's latest post comes days after his ex, Taylor Swiftsaid she had been “lonely” for part of their relationship.
“[I was] “I imagined that instead of being a lonely millennial woman covered in cat hair drinking my weight in white wine, I was a ghostly Victorian lady wandering through the woods with a candle in a candelabra,” said Swift, 34, during her Saturday, Feb. 17, 2018, concert in Melbourne, according to social media footage. “And I only wrote on parchment with a feathered quill. That was in my mind, what I thought I looked like, writing Folklore. … So that's all that matters: the delusion.”
Folklore was released in July 2020, just months into the COVID-19 pandemic. Swift and Alwyn were still an item at the time she wrote Folklore, as the couple spent the pandemic lockdown together in London. The Conversations with friends actor also wrote songs on the album under the pseudonym William Bowery.

Every night we watched a different movie. I'm ashamed to say I hadn't seen it Pan's Labyrinth for. One night I was looking at that, and then I looked LA Confidentialthen we would watch Rear windowthen we would watch Jane Eyre.”
The couple has been private about their relationship, which began in 2017. It was confirmed by We weekly in April 2023 that Swift and Alwyn had split after six years together.

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn's breakup seemed like a surprise, but were Swifties simply missing the signs? Swift and Alwyn kept things low-key during their six-year romance, which started in 2016. The following year, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the couple was “taking it slow” but was “very in love.” […]
Swift announced her latest album at the 2024 Grammy Awards on February 4. Fans theorized that the album name was a reference to Alwyn's group chat with actors. Paul Mescal And Andrew Scott.
“It's the Tortured Man Club, I think,” Alwyn said during a December 2022 Actors on Actors interview with Variety. “It's me, you – and Andrew Scott founded the group. [Andrew is] he just sent himself a good morning. We were both in the Sally Rooney universe and crossed over with Lenny Abrahamson. We were so lucky to have that experience.”
