Joe Alwyn and Sarah Pidgeon kiss amid Taylor Swift wedding buzz
New photos obtained by PEOPLE showed Joe Alwyn and Sarah Pidgeon enjoying a date night in New York City on June 13. The pair kept things casual, wearing jeans and T-shirts, and were seen embracing during their evening out. At one point, Pidgeon wrapped her arms around Alwyn’s shoulders, and the two were photographed kissing.
The sighting arrived shortly after celebrity gossip account Deux Moi reported multiple occasions in which the actors had allegedly been seen together in Brooklyn. Although neither has spoken publicly about the relationship, the recent outing is the strongest indication yet that the two stars are romantically involved.
Pidgeon, 29, has mostly stayed away from the celebrity gossip circus and tends to keep her personal life under wraps. This year, she earned plenty of praise for playing Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in FX’s Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette. Before being linked to Joe Alwyn, rumors connected her to Spacey Jane frontman Caleb Harper, though she never addressed the speculation publicly.
As for Alwyn, he famously dated Taylor Swift for over six years before the pair split in April 2023. According to previous reports, the breakup was friendly, with sources saying they had simply drifted apart. One insider claimed Swift didn’t see a long-term future for them, but the two remained on good terms after calling it quits.
By 2024, sources told PEOPLE that Joe Alwyn had moved on and was “dating and happy.” Another insider described him as “a great guy” who stayed away from drama. The actor later reflected on the split in an interview with The Sunday Times Style, saying he hoped people could understand how difficult it is to navigate the end of a relationship that had lasted more than “six and a half years.” He added that it was not an easy experience to go through.
