“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. That is a hard thing to navigate, ” Alwyn said, referring to the pair’s highly publicized breakup last year

while promoting his upcoming film “Kinds of Kindness.”

The former couple reportedly first met at the 2016 Met Gala in New York City and their courtship spurred several alleged love songs about

Alwyn including “Delicate,” “Dress,” “Lover,” “Peace,” “London Boy,” “All of the Girls You Loved Before” and more about jet-setting to England for weeks at a time and lyricism that lifted the veil on their ultra-private love.
But last year, as Swift embarked on her record-breaking Eras Tour, the pair broke up. By September, Swift was seeing Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as Alwyn faced criticism from fans and the tabloids alike who speculated about the split, which he addressed in The Times piece.
