Life moves on—and so does Joe Alwyn. The Hamnet actor has been spotted getting cozy with Love Story actress Sarah Pidgeon in Brooklyn, sparking fresh dating rumors just over three years after his high-profile split from Taylor Swift.
The pair was caught mid-kiss during a Saturday, June 13 outing in the borough, sharing drinks and affection as onlookers snapped photos. Pidgeon, dressed casually in a white tank top and jeans, had her arm wrapped around Alwyn, who wore a black T-shirt and light-wash denim. The couple’s several-hour date wasn’t their first public appearance together—they’d already turned heads during a separate Fort Greene neighborhood stroll the week prior.
This marks a significant moment for Alwyn, whose relationship with Swift lasted over six and a half years before ending in 2023. The breakup became the subject of Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department, with songs like So Long, London and I Can Do It With a Broken Heart widely believed to chronicle their split. In a 2024 interview with the London Times, Alwyn reflected on the challenges of navigating such a visible romance, noting the difficulty of having something deeply personal thrust into a public space where it gets dissected by tabloids, social media, and endless speculation.
For her part, Pidgeon has kept her romantic life largely out of the spotlight—she hasn’t publicly confirmed any prior relationships. Like Alwyn, she appears to value privacy. Whether this budding connection between the two actors will remain tabloid fodder or evolve into something more remains to be seen, but for now, Brooklyn’s got a new couple to watch. Meanwhile, Swift has already moved forward with NFL star Travis Kelce, whom she’s engaged to and plans to marry this summer.
