Now, weeks later, Joe has spoken out about the speculation surrounding him and his split from the Brit award-winning artist. He admitted that navigating the end of a long-term relationship can be “tough,” especially when it’s in the public eye.

Speaking to Sunday Times Style Magazine, as reported by PA Media, he said: “I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving and fully committed relationship of over six years. half a year. It’s a tough thing to navigate,” the Mirror reports.

Joe, known for his roles in films such as The Favorite (2018), described the public scrutiny following a break-up as “unusual and abnormal”.

He expressed his discomfort with how quickly personal matters become public fodder, allowing everyone to “weigh in”, leading to speculation and misrepresentation of the facts.

He added: “There will always be a gap between what is known and what is said.” He has come to terms with this reality, he added.

The actor revealed that both he and Taylor chose to keep the intimate details of their relationship private, insisting it was never meant to be commercialized. He sees no reason to change that position now.

Reflecting on life a year after their split, Joe feels lucky to be in a good place both professionally and personally. He stated that he was feeling “very well”.

The Sunday Times Style Magazine interview coincides with Taylor’s Eras tour, which is currently in the UK. The Lover singer has already graced stages in Edinburgh and Liverpool since launching the tour last year.

The pop icon is soon to perform in Cardiff and London before heading to Ireland and other European destinations.
