“Again, only a handful of people know details about the wedding and Taylor hasn’t even told some of her team about the engagement,” the source alleged.

“They want their love to stay away from the cameras as much as possible. This is just for them. And if and when they do exchange vows, there most definitely won’t be any Vogue, Rolling Stone, or Hello! magazines there,” they added. “It will be simple and elegant – like them.”

In a recent interview for WSJ. Magazine's May issue, the “Boy Erased” actor joked, “If I had a pound for every time I think I've been told I've been engaged, then I'd have a lot of pound coins.”

He added that he “wouldn’t say” if he was really engaged to the “Enchanted” singer or not. “I mean, the truth is, if the answer was yes, I wouldn't say, and if the answer was no, I wouldn't say,” he told them.

He told the publication that “We live in a culture that people expect so much to be given” and asked, “So that if you're not posting all the time about what you're doing, how you're spending a day or how you made a breakfast, does that make you a recluse?”

Although he admitted that he’d “like to feel slightly less guarded sometimes in interviews or in whatever kind of interactions,” he said the decision to maintain his privacy is “just a knee-jerk response to the culture we live in.”

“If you give it to them, it just opens the door,” Alwyn added.

In 2018, Joe told British Vogue that “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.”

The “You Belong With Me” singer is also content to keep her relationship out of the spotlight. An insider told PEOPLE that Taylor “is very happy” in their relationship and even happier with Joe. “He is her rock,” the source said. “Their relationship is mature and wonderful.”

In 2020, Swift told singer Paul McCartney in an interview for Rolling Stone that her relationship with the English actor helps give her a sense of “normalcy” in her life.

“I think that in knowing him and being in the relationship I am in now, I have definitely made decisions that have made my life feel more like a real-life and less like just a storyline to be commented on,” she said at the time.

“Whether that's deciding where to live, who to hang out with, when to not take a picture ... it's really just trying to find bits of normalcy,” she added.
