Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn are still making headlines, just not for the reason we are used to. The power couple called it quits last year after a six-and-a-half-year stint and now that Taylor is all-in on her new relationship with Kansas City Football player, Travis Kelce, Joe appears to be following suit.
Now, this wouldn’t be such a big deal if Alwyn’s rumoured new GF didn’t low-key have a *history* with his superstar ex—but evidently, it’s common knowledge that the two have a lot of bad blood.
That’s right: netizens have been whipped into a frenzy over rumours that Joe is dating model Kendall Jenner. Kendall is the younger sister of Kim Kardashian, who Taylor famously had public beef with after Kim leaked a call between her then-husband, Kanye West and the songstress in 2016.
Why Do People Think Joe Alwyn and Kendall Jenner Are Dating?
Joe and Kendall were spotted together at the fourth annual Academy Museum Gala at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on October 19, 2024.
Photographs from the event emerged showcasing the pair posing side-by-side, alongside Patrick Schwarzenegger.
It’s quite innocent, really. However, Swifties noted that Joe liked Kendall’s Instagram post from the event.

What Do Fans Think?
Some Swifties are up in arms about the rumours, some don’t know what to make of the images and others are leaning more towards the belief that we are jumping to conclusions too soon.
“It looks like we’re heading to a relationship between Kendall Jenner and Joe Alwyn which would drive so many people crazy,” TikToker @hankatherinee commented in a video which now has over 1.4 million views.
“This would be huge because, as you know, Swifties would go crazy because we know the past between Taylor, Kim and Kanye, and Joe is Taylor’s ex, so him dating a KarJenner would be wild” she added.
Some onlookers shared that they feel the new relationship “would be heartbreaking,” whilst others weren’t reading too much into the new pics, with one viewer commenting: “this is the biggest reach in history”.
What Has Joe Alywn Said?
The English actor has made no public comments about any link to Kendall. However, Joe *has* previously gone on the record about his relationship with Swift, post-breakup, in an interview with The Sunday Times.
“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,” Joe said. “That is a hard thing to navigate.”
He elaborated: “What is unusual and abnormal in this situation is that, one week later, it’s suddenly in the public domain and the outside world is able to weigh in. So you have something very real suddenly thrown into a very unreal space: tabloids, social media, press, where it is then dissected, speculated on, pulled out of shape beyond recognition.”
“And the truth is, to that last point, there is always going to be a gap between what is known and what is said,” he added. “I have made my peace with that.”
So, Are Joe Alwyn and Kendall Jenner *Actually* Dating?
Despite the internet’s frenzy, all the signs point to… Kendall and Joe having done little more than pose for a picture together.
Celeb gossip queen, Deuxmoi has commented, noting that she doesn’t think there is anything going on and “I really do believe [Kendall] is back with [her ex] Devin Booker.”
