An engagement ring was not among the accessories Taylor Swift wore on a recent outing with her alleged fiancé, Joe Alwyn.
The country-turned-pop star, 32, and British actor, 31, were photographed Thursday morning walking through London during their first public sighting since The Sun’s June 30 report in which they claimed they were engaged “for a few months”. .
The famously discreet couple were suitably dressed for the summer heat, wearing dark blue shorts, sneakers, baseball caps and sunglasses for the outing. Swift was also noticeably ringless, despite the engagement rumors.
The “Look What You Made Me Do” crooner opted for a loose light blue open button-down over a light gray tank top with a red and white striped bralette underneath, while the “Favourite” star opted for a plain white tee. He was also seen with a large bag.
Swift and Alwyn had masks on when they walked into a cafe for some iced coffee, which they sat down and enjoyed before taking them to go.
The Sun previously reported that the musician only wears her “beautiful” engagement ring from her old beauty “behind closed doors,” such as “when she’s home.”
A friend of the “Conversations With Friends” actor claims the couple has “only told their inner circle” about their engagement and that “only a handful of people know details about the wedding.”
“They want their love to stay away from the cameras as much as possible,” the source said, adding that their marriage “definitely” won’t involve media.
“It will be simple and elegant – like them,” the insider claimed.
Swift and Alwyn met at the 2016 Met Gala, but their relationship was not revealed until May.
They have kept their romance a secret since they first started dating but have had several bouts of engagement rumors over the years.
“I mean, the truth is, if the answer… [that we were engaged] was yes, I wouldn’t say, and if the answer was no, I wouldn’t say it,” Alwyn told WSJ. Magazine in April.
