Shaking it off! Taylor Swift was pictured enjoying dinner with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively on Wednesday April 19 - and hours later, Ryan unfollowed her former boyfriend Joe Alwyn. His wife Blake had never followed Joe.
In the less than two weeks since news of their split leaked many of Taylor's close friends and collaborators have unfollowed Joe, 32, including Este Haim, Danielle Haim and Alana Haim, Taylor's brother Austin, and teenage friend Ashley Avignone.
Others that have reportedly unfollowed Joe include Lily Aldridge and Lana Del Rey. Taylor, 33, has also unfollowed Joe.
Taylor and British actor Joe had kept their six-and-a half-year relationship out of the spotlight, and had only publicly mentioned each other in passing.
The pair met after being introduced by mutual friends in 2016, and made their first public appearance at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards.
Their split was reportedly "amicable" and "not dramatic," and sources told ET - who first reported the story - that "the relationship had just run its course," and shared that it was "why [Alwyn] hasn't been spotted at any shows".
In 2022, ahead of the release of her 10th album Midnights, 33-year-old Taylor revealed her relationship with Joe served as major inspiration for the first track, "Lavender Haze", as she has had to "dodge weird rumors" and "protect the real stuff," when it came to her long-term beau.
