Bad Blood? Taylor Swift’s ex Joe Alwyn breaks social media silence sharing his much quieter lifestyle just as she teases album about their relationship amid Travis Kelce romance
Taylor ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn has broken his social media silence after nearly five months offline amid her highly-publicized relationship Travis Kelce.
Following his return to a much quieter lifestyle since parting ways with the pop star, 34, last spring, the Conversations with Friends star, 32, shared a rare glimpse of his personal life with his 1.1 million Instagram followers on Monday.
While he is notorious for keeping his relationships private, including details of his six-year relationship with Swift, who reportedly penned her upcoming album The Tortured Poets Department about their breakup, the Harriet actor shared an artistic shot of himself taking a selfie into a mirror with a film camera in the woods.
In addition to spending time staring at the sea, Alwyn, who turns 33 on Wednesday, has also been documenting some of his hiking excursions.
He concluded the photo dump with a glamorous shot of him inside an event and a silly childhood photo, which showed him smiling with both hands above his head.
Another slide featured a meme of Ricky Gervais as David Brent from the British TV series, The Office, saying: ‘Different drinks for different needs.’
Alwyn, who disabled his social media comments years ago, raised eyebrows for the timing of his post.
‘I’ve seen more Joe Alwyn since the TTPD [The Tortured Poets Department] announcement than in his six years being with Taylor and that says a lot I think,’ one Swiftie pointed out on X (previously known as Twitter.)
Another took to the platform to express shock he posted, at all.
Others wondered if it was a signal to his famous ex as he used her go-to black and white and sepia filters.
‘Y’all did Joe Alwyn just just send a ‘bring it on I’m not afraid’ message to Taylor??? Look at his most recent post,’ one fan speculated. ‘The filter, the meme, the scenery…it’s so yoyok and the lakes coded, like bro. Wtf???’
