"I don't want to go into it in detail because I've always been very protective of our relationship and I want to keep it that way," Alwyn explained.

Alwyn's comments are noteworthy, considering that both he and Swift had largely remained silent about their relationship during its six-year duration. The couple had chosen to keep their romance out of the public eye, valuing their privacy and avoiding unnecessary media attention.
