“I’m aware people want to know about that side of things,” he told the magazine. “I think we have been successfully very private and that has now sunk in for people…but I really prefer to talk about work.”
In November, Swift paid tribute to Alwyn on Instagram. Fans had months earlier speculated that he had done the same to her with what appeared to be a corresponding photo post, but he later clarified in a British GQ interview that “it wasn’t purposeful at all.”
He also told the magazine, “Someone’s private life is by definition private. No one is obliged to share their personal life.”
