Quarantine seems to have made Taylor Swift's ultra-private boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, a little more willing to share a glimpse of his life with her. The British actor shared a couple photos on his Instagram Story yesterday, some of which appear to depict his life quarantining at her place. Swift's cat Benjamin Button appears in two shots:
And some fans believe Swift took the photo of Alwyn drinking coffee:
A different photo Alwyn shared was a behind-the-scenes shot from a 2018 Vogue shoot. He also shared two shots of male figure drawings.
This isn't the first time Alwyn has shared photos of himself quarantining with Swift. He first shared a shot of him drinking wine at her place and more photos of Benjamin Button hiding. He clearly has a favorite cat.
Fans also believe that Alwyn has taken all the photos of Swift that have appeared on Swift's Instagram recently. A modest Instagram boyfriend, folks!
Alwyn and Swift have been dating for three years. They've purposely kept their relationship as under-the-radar as possible. Alwyn explained to Mr. Porter's The Journal magazine in January that he doesn't consider himself and Swift to be a "strangely private" couple, though. They're just acting like any non-famous couple would.
“I don’t think [we're private] more than anyone else," he said. "I don’t think anyone you meet on the streets would just spill their guts out to you, therefore why should I? And then that is defined as being ‘strangely private’. Fine. But I don’t think it is. I think it’s normal.”
Swift explained to The Guardian in August that there's a reason she doesn't talk about him in interviews. “I’ve learned that if I do, people think it’s up for discussion, and our relationship isn’t up for discussion,” she said with a laugh. “If you and I were having a glass of wine right now, we’d be talking about it—but it’s just that it goes out into the world. That’s where the boundary is, and that’s where my life has become manageable. I really want to keep it feeling manageable.”
