An engagement ring was not among the accessories Taylor Swift wore during a recent outing with her rumored fiancé, Joe Alwyn.
The country-turned-pop star, 32, and the British actor, 31, were photographed walking through London Thursday morning in their first public sighting since The Sun’s June 30 report claiming they’ve been engaged “for a few months.”
The famously discrete couple was dressed appropriately for the summer heat, wearing dark blue shorts, sneakers, baseball caps and sunglasses for the outing. Swift was also noticeably ringless, despite the engagement rumors.
The “Look What You Made Me Do” crooner sported a loose, light blue open button-down over a light gray tank top with a red-and-white-striped bralette underneath, while the “Favourite” star opted for a plain white T-shirt. He was also seen carrying a large tote.
Swift and Alwyn masked up as they made their way into a cafe for some iced coffees, which they sat down and enjoyed before taking them to go.
The Sun previously reported that the musician only wears her “beautiful” engagement ring from her longtime beau “behind closed doors,” like “when she’s at home.”
A pal of the “Conversations with Friends” actor alleged to the outlet the pair has “only told their inner-inner circle” about their engagement and that “only a handful of people know details about the wedding.”
“They want their love to stay away from the cameras as much as possible,” the source said, adding that their nuptials will “most definitely” not involve any media.
“It will be simple and elegant — like them,” the insider claimed.
Swift and Alwyn met at the 2016 Met Gala, but their relationship wasn’t revealed until the following May.
They have kept their romance under wraps since they first started dating but have faced several bouts of engagement rumors throughout the years.
“I mean, the truth is, if the answer [that we were engaged] was yes, I wouldn’t say, and if the answer was no, I wouldn’t say,” Alwyn told WSJ. Magazine in April.
