According to the Daily Mail, Swift's ex-boyfriend, Alwyn, might have started a new relationship with actress Emma Laird barely weeks after it became known that he and the "Anti-Hero" singer had broken up.

Speculations regarding Alwyn's relationship with Laird surfaced after it appeared that the two spent a night out in Hungary, as evidenced by a photo the actress uploaded on her Instagram profile.

The shot appeared to have been taken last month, as the caption reads "Moments in March," followed by a red heart emoji.

Alwyn was seen in the picture standing next to a scooter and was all smiles for the camera while donning an all-black attire. Although Laird wasn't seen in the picture, it's speculated that she was holding the camera.

Laird and Alwyn have been in the landlocked country in central Europe filming a new movie, "The Brutalist," although it is still unknown if they formed their connection on the set.

A short while after sharing the picture and a couple of others, Laird locked up the comment section after fans swarmed her with messages with regard to the photo of Alwyn.

Amid the rumors, she has not clarified the nature of her relationship with Alwyn, nor has the actor also sought to do so.

However, a source close to the duo claimed that "Emma has been there for Joe since news of his split from Taylor emerged," per The Sun.

The source added, "Joe struggles with fame and enjoyed hanging out with Emma in Hungary, where he wouldn't be recognized."

While Laird has reportedly supported Alwyn since the split, Swift's inner circle, whom the actor might have been familiar with, seem to have cut ties with him.

These include model Gigi Hadid, 27, actress Blake Lively, 35, and Haim rock band sisters Alana, Este, and Danielle, who have all unfollowed him on social media.

Why Taylor Swift And Joe Alwyn Broke Up

Following the news of Swift and Alwyn breaking up, it was alleged that their "differences in their personalities" caused the split, per People magazine.

The two dated for six long years, although most of the relationship was kept from the eyes of the media, perhaps due to Alwyn's preference for privacy.

During their time together, they collaborated to make some of Swift's songs, such as "Champagne Problems" and "Evermore."

But despite their musical synergy, the two reportedly often had "rough patches," which they usually worked out before they ultimately agreed they "weren't the right fit for one another."

They are yet to speak up about their split, although Swift was recently seen during a stop of her tour, singing their "Champagne Problems" song emotionally.

The musician reportedly made some last-minute changes to the set to include the song, whose track depicts two lovers dealing with a botched proposal.

Despite the breakup, the pair are still amicable and have no beef. "They are friendly. She doesn't have anything bad to say about Joe," said an insider, per People. "They just grew apart. Taylor is staying very focused on her tour right now."

Meanwhile, Swifties have speculated that Swift and Alwyn's "Champagne Problem" song explains their split.

A fan said, "Just a theory…maybe it's a Champagne Problem kind of break up? I mean, they've kept the relationship so private.. so probably Joe Alwyn proposed to Taylor Swift, but then Tay said no…"

"But Joe Alwyn tried to understand and tried to be okay with not getting married, but then over time, he got tired of trying and ended up giving up, hence the break up (?)"

While it's still unclear what may have transpired between the former couple, Swift has had her girl pals by her side supporting her through the breakup.
