Exclusive : Joe Alwyn has broken his silence over his shock split from Taylor Swift after six years of dating for the first time…

While speaking about their past relationship in a new interview with The Sunday Times Style, the 33-year-old British actor, who is notoriously private about his personal life, described his time with the pop star, 34, as ‘long, loving’ and ‘fully committed.’

When asked if he listened to her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, which is rumored to be about their breakup, Alwyn said: ‘In thinking on what I was going to say, I would think and hope that anyone and everyone can empathize. … This isn’t a direct answer to your question, but just thinking about what I want to talk about.’

‘I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years,’ he continued.

The Conversations with Friends star proceeded to admit that the end of their long-term relationship has been ‘a hard thing to navigate.’

Last year in April, it was confirmed that Swift and Alwyn had officially gone their separate ways after dating for six years. The songstress has since moved on with Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce.

While attending the Grammy Awards earlier this month, she notably won the awards for both Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year for Midnights.

While accepting her first award of the night for Pop Vocal Album, the star notably announced that she would be dropping her next album titled: The Tortured Poets Department.

After the surprise revelation, fans were quickly convinced that the title of the album was in reference to Alwyn.

Back in 2022, the actor explained that he was part of a WhatsApp group chat with close pals Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott called The Tortured Man Club.

Following the album announcement, a source told DailyMail.com that Alwyn feels it would be ‘shady’ if Taylor dissed him in The Tortured Poets Department.
