Joe Alwyn Sparks Romance Rumors with Hunter Schafer: Taylor Swift Connection?
TAYLOR SWIFT'S EX-BOYFRIEND JOE ALWYN SPARKS ROMANCE RUMORS WITH EUPHORIA STAR HUNTER SCHAFER
The drama is heating up in Hollywood, folks! Just as Taylor Swift's new album, The Life Of A Showgirl, is making waves with its polarizing reception, her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn has been swept up in a whirlwind of romance rumors. And we have the tea!
According to eagle-eyed fans on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Alwyn seemingly can't resist the charms of none other than Euphoria star Hunter Schafer. The 34-year-old actor was spotted liking one of Schafer's Instagram posts, which featured behind-the-scenes photos from a Met Gala afterparty. But what caught everyone's attention was that Schafer bears an uncanny resemblance to Swift herself!
The post in question showcased Schafer looking stunning in a revealing beige satin corset, her long blond locks and sculpted physique eerily reminiscent of Alwyn's ex-girlfriend. Fans quickly took to the comments section, speculating about a possible romance between Alwyn and Schafer.
"She reminds him of Taylor," one fan astutely observed. "I mean Hunter is his exact type!" another user chimed in. Even the concept of them being an 'It couple' was thrown around, with one enthusiast declaring, "i LOVEEEE this rumour!"
However, not everyone was buying into the romance theory. One commenter pointed out that Schafer deserves someone without "commitment issues," a possible veiled jab at Alwyn's history with Swift.
But fans were having none of it! "You know what? hell yeah," wrote one user, while another confidently declared, "would not be normal abt this."
Now, before we dive deeper into the juicy details, let's take a look at their on-screen connection. Alwyn and Schafer both starred in Yorgos Lanthimos' black comedy Kinds Of Kindness, released in June 2024. Although they only shared small roles in the film, which was comprised of three short films starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, and Margaret Qualley, they did rub shoulders with each other at the Cannes Film Festival last year.
Their connection goes back further, as Alwyn had previously worked with Lanthimos on The Favourite, an Oscar-winning period comedy that starred Emma Stone. It's anyone's guess if Schafer is currently single or dating someone, but her most high-profile relationships have been with Euphoria costar Dominic Fike (2022-2023) and Spanish singer Rosalía (2019).
But what about the possible connection to Swift's new album? Fans have long speculated that she might have taken a few digs at Alwyn in The Fate of Ophelia, her lead single from The Life Of A Showgirl. Some believe it was an unfavorable comparison between Alwyn and her fiancé Travis Kelce.
Now we're wondering: could Alwyn be secretly smitten with Schafer? Has he finally found someone who reminds him of his ex-girlfriend in the best way possible? Stay tuned for more updates, folks! The world is watching – and so are we!
