Joe Alwyn and Love Story star Sarah Pidgeon sparked dating rumors over the weekend after they were photographed kissing. Last week, People reported multiple sightings in Brooklyn. Both Alwyn and Pidgeon have kept their love lives private, with Alwyn remaining publicly single since his split from Taylor Swift in 2023.
Fresh off the success of Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, Sarah Pidgeon seems to be having a blossoming romance of her own in New York City. She was photographed kissing British actor Joe Alwyn in Brooklyn on Saturday. It is worth noting that Alwyn, who has been dating Taylor Swift for more than six years, is rumored to be dating her for the first time since their split in April 2023.
People posted photos of Pidgeon and Alwyn’s date and noted that the two were also spotted out and about multiple times in Brooklyn last week.
During Saturday’s outing, Pigeon and Alwyn both looked happy together, with Pigeon at one point putting his arm around Alwyn. They were both wearing jeans. Pigeon paired it with a white tank, while Alwyn wore a black V-neck top.
Both Alwyn and Pidgeon have typically kept their personal lives private.
In June 2024, Alwyn opened up about his breakup with Swift, highlighting his continued desire for privacy after keeping their romance largely private.
“I hope everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties involved in the end of a long, loving and committed relationship spanning over six and a half years,” he told the Times. “That’s a difficult thing to get over. What’s unusual and unusual about this situation is that suddenly a week later it’s in the public domain and the outside world can intervene.”
“So something very real is suddenly thrown into a very unrealistic space of tabloids, social media, news outlets, where it gets dissected, speculated about, and disfigured beyond recognition,” he continued. “And the truth is, down to that last point, there will always be a gap between what is known and what is said. I have made my peace with that.”
“As everyone knows, we have mutually decided to keep the more private details of our relationship private. It was never meant to be commercialized and there is no reason to change that now.”
She declined to say whether she is dating again, but said: “Given the level of publicity and scrutiny surrounding my past relationships, I think you can understand why I wouldn’t want to open the door to something like that right now.”
