Taylor Swift And Joe Alwyn Finally Go Public

After quietly dating for two years, Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn finally made their relationship public at the BAFTAs last week. Despite giving the red carpet and the awards ceremony a miss, Taylor joined Joe at the official dinner to celebrate his BAFTA success. (Joe starred as Emma Stone’s on-screen husband in The Favourite, which picked up an impressive seven awards.)

While Grazia chatted to Joe about working with Olivia Colman (‘She was amazing,’ he gushed), Taylor appeared and gave him a congratulatory squeeze. ‘I was watching the show from home,’ she told us. ‘Every time The Favourite won another award, I was just squealing! I couldn’t believe it,’ she continued. ‘It’s so great for him – and it’s his first time coming to the BAFTAs, so it’s exciting. It’s a big deal.’ The singer, who is currently filming Cats, added how ‘proud’ she was of Joe’s success. As well as his stellar role in The Favourite, Joe has starred in Boy Erased and Mary Queen Of Scots this year.

Their first public appearance comes afterGraziareported last month that Joe wanted to keep their relationship under the radar. Sources said that he didn’t want ‘his relationship to overshadow his career’, as he is on the cusp of becoming ‘Hollywood’s next leading man’. But now that Joe has a BAFTA-winning film under his belt, the pair are unconcerned about keeping things private. Indeed, the couple were noticeably affectionate at the dinner, and Taylor even shared pre-BAFTA Instagram post before she arrived: ‘The Favourite just won 7 BAFTA awards!’ she wrote. ‘Bout to go give some high fives.’ At the after-party, the duo were seen leaving together hand-in-hand.

Last week, the couple was also spotted together in Hampstead at The Spaniard’s Inn pub. According to a source, the couple were in the area as they were ‘eyeing up a £12 million mansion’. Taylor has allegedly ‘fallen in love with Hampstead’ and is ‘keen to buy the detached 5,000-square Georgian mansion’.

‘They’re in the process of putting down an offer,’ added our source, who says they ‘enquired about local schools in the area.’ With a London property on the horizon, perhaps Taylor and Joe’s red-carpet debut is imminent..
