In February 2022, Life & Style exclusively revealed that the pair were engaged after five years of dating.
While Taylor and Joe didn’t give much insight into their relationship, they occasionally spoke about their decision to keep their romance private.
“I’m aware people want to know about that side of things. I think we have been successfully very private, and that has now sunk in for people … but I really prefer to talk about work,” Joe told British Vogue in 2018.
Meanwhile, the “Lavender Haze” singer gave Joe a rare shoutout while accepting Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammy Awards. “Joe, who is the first person that I sing every single song that I write,” Taylor said, noting that they had “so much fun writing songs in quarantine” together.
While many fans hoped that Taylor had found her life partner in Joe, Entertainment Tonight broke the news on April 8, 2023, that they called it quits. Neither person has publicly spoken about the split, though sources confirmed to People that they ended their relationship.
