It's a Love Story, baby just say yes!

Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn was spotted on a very romantic date with Sarah Pidgeon, 29 - the actress who plays Caroline Besette in the new Ryan Murphy show Love Story. 

The hot new couple were spotted sharing a smooch while out in the Big Apple on Saturday.  

Alwyn, 35, has found love right just as his famous ex prepares to walk down the aisle.

Taylor, 36, whose famous hits include Love Story and Shake It Off, will be tying the knot with Travis Kelce in what is quickly becoming the wedding of the year. 

The nuptials are rumored to be occurring any day now.

Alwyn was Swift's last major relationship before she met Kelce. 

The couple dated for six years, wrote music together, and Swift was even inspired to write several songs about Alwyn. 

In contrast to her relationship with Kelce, Swift and Alwyn were far more private about their romance - but fans were still shocked when they split in 2023.  

Now both parties have moved on with Alwyn clearly only having eyes for the actress playing JFK Jr.'s wife. 

Sparks were flying as the couple enjoyed drinks together before taking a relaxed stroll through the city - where the chemistry was apparent. 

As they crossed a street, Alwyn placed a tender hand on Pidgeon's lower back that indicated they were more than just friends. 

The status of their connection was confirmed when they shared a tender smooch inside a busy establishment.

The room may have been packed, but the couple were in their own little world. 

Pidgeon's hand also lingered on Alwyn's shoulder, another move leaving little question about her feelings for him.

Swift, 36, and Alwyn reportedly met when they crossed paths at the 2016 Met Gala, and they were first pictured together in Nashville, Tennessee in 2017. 

Pidgeon's breakout role was her striking portrayal of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy earlier this year in FX's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.

She previously made her Broadway debut in 2024's Stereophonic, which earned her a Tony Award nomination for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play.

Swift and Alwyn kept their more than six-year relationship under tight wraps until they broke up in April 2023.

Following their split, Swift began dating Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce later that summer.

For his part, Alwyn has not publicly dated anyone since being involved with the pop star.

In a June 2024 interview with The Sunday Times, he made rare comments about his romance with the songstress.

He described their relationship as 'long, loving' and 'fully committed,' noting that the end of it was 'a hard thing to navigate.'

Swift is weeks away from tying the knot with Kelce, 36, as the pair have reportedly planned an Independence Day weekend wedding in the Big Apple.
