Is Joe Alwyn planning a major comeback? All the signs actor is readying a resurgence as he’s seen in Milan with his commercial agent, stars in front page fashion spread and finally breaks his silence on Taylor Swift split

He has built up a reputation for being very private and publicity shy, preferring to remain out of the spotlight.

But it appears that Joe Alwyn is planning a major comeback, as the recent weeks have seen him finally emerge from the shadows.

The actor, 33, is currently in Italy for Milan Fashion Week, arriving in the city just days after he hit the headlines for breaking his silence on his infamous split from Taylor Swift.

With his high fashion photoshoot in Style magazine coupled with a string of public appearances in Cannes and Milan and a new movie about to be released, it seems that Joe is getting ready to return to the public sphere.

And after spending so many years being known as just another one of Taylor’s boyfriends, it appears that Joe is preparing to stand out on his own.

For more than six years, he and the pop megastar, 34, shared a notoriously private romance, in stark contrast to the singer’s usual public relationships.

In the wake of their split last year, her fans have created a number of theories and rumours about the reasons for their break-up.

And after Taylor released her latest album, The Tortured Poets Society, their relationship became public fodder once more, as Swifties poured over every song and lyric for possible allusions of Joe.

But Joe has remained as closed a book as ever and even disappeared from social media for five months.

However, last week saw the Conversations With Friends star finally break his silence on the split and speak out about all buzz and speculation surrounding him.

Speaking to The Sunday Times Style about the relationship for the first time, 14 months after it ended, Joe described his romance with Taylor as ‘long, loving’ and ‘fully committed’.

When asked if he listened to her latest album, he said: ‘In thinking on what I was going to say, I would think and hope that anyone and everyone can empathise… This isn’t a direct answer to your question, but just thinking about what I want to talk about.

‘I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathise and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years.
