Fans all over the world were heartbroken when the news of Taylor Swift’s breakup with English actor Joe Alwyn hit. But it appears Swift didn’t stay single for long as she’s now believed to be dating fellow singer Matty Healy.
It was in April 2023 that it was first reported that hit singer Taylor Swift and her partner of six years, actor Joe Alwyn had broken up, much to fans’ disappointment.
As first reported by Entertainment Tonight, singer/songwriter Taylor, 33, had allegedly broken up with her long-time partner Joe Alwyn, 32, with ET writing that the break up was “amicable.” CNN also reported at the time that the couple “simply grew apart and plan to remain friends.”
Taylor seemed to be doing well after the breakup though, as she’s currently in the midst of her ERAS tour. And now, rumors have began to circulate that she’s in a new relationship – with 1975 front singer Matty Healy. The couple is thought to have first got together 10 years ago before going their separate ways, but now they’re rumored to be back together again.
A source close to Taylor told the Sun: “She and Matty are madly in love. It’s super-early days, but it feels right. They first dated, very briefly, almost ten years ago but timings just didn’t work out.”
But who is Taylor’s new partner?
Who is Matty Healy?
Just like Taylor, Matty, 34, is well-known for his music career. He formed the band The 1975 with his school friends Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel in 2002. The band soon became an international success and have over 15 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
With hit songs such as Chocolate, Robbers, and Somebody Else, the band has won an impressive four Brit awards and have been nominated for Grammys, EMAs and VMAs.
Matty is no stranger to life in the spotlight as his mum, Denish Welsh, is a panelist for popular UK talk show Loose Women. She also acted in several popular British shows, including Coronation Street. Meanwhile, his dad, Tim Healy, is also a TV icon, having starred in famous shows like Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, and Benidorm.
