It seems Joe Alwyn and Nicola Coughlan caught up ahead of the 2024 Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, England. On Saturday, July 13, the two attended a celebratory lunch hosted by Range Rover and Harper’s Bazaar in honor of the big game. They posed for photos together during the event. While they appeared friendly, the Kinds of Kindness star and Bridgerton actress was one pair fans never expected to see. Why? Well, it all has to do with their connection to Taylor Swift.
As you may know, Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn were in a six-year relationship. They made such a good couple that fans were convinced they would get married one day. So, when news broke in April 2023 that they had broken up, Swifties were left in disbelief. Since then, the singer has moved on with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce. Things appear serious between them, considering the football star is always at Swift’s Eras Tour concerts.
Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope on Bridgerton, has also attended the Eras Tour. On Friday, June 21, she was pictured at the singer’s Wembley Stadium concert. Considering she’s a Swiftie, fans are confused why she would take a photo with one of Swift’s ex-boyfriends.

After seeing Joe Alwyn and Nicola Coughlan together, one person commented, “Nicola why are we beside that man?” Meanwhile, another fan called the pairing “so random.” While some criticized the actors, others defended them. One Swiftie told other fans to “be reasonable” and “save [their] hysterics” since the stars have attended the same events before. Another called out fans for “harassing” Alwyn and creating unneccesary drama with Coughlan.
While the internet has mixed feelings about Joe Alwyn and Nicola Coughlan, the two are clearly unbothered as they enjoy the 2024 Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
