Joe Alwyn is making his presence known following his breakup from Taylor Swift. The 32-year-old English actor stepped out during the 2023 Cannes Film Festival in France to attend a dinner

hosted by Celine artistic director Hedi Slimane in a black suit, shades, and pale pink satin shirt. His appearance at the luxury label's event marked his first public outing since

splitting with Swift, 33, earlier this year after six years of dating and as the songstress embarked on her sold-out Eras tour. Rumors of a split began after _The Favourite_ star was not

seen at any of her early tour stops. While the couple was known to be relatively quiet about their relationship, they often collaborated on music together with 2020 sister albums _Folklore_ 

and _Evermore_. Each project included collaborations with Alwyn, who wrote several songs under the pseudonym William Bowery. Shortly after Swift and Alwyn split, a source told PEOPLE that

the couple ultimately broke up due to "differences in their personalities." The insider went on to say that the couple learned they "weren't the right fit for one

another," after emerging from their pandemic "bubble." "They had plenty in common and fell in love in a safe bubble while she was retreating from the world during 

_Reputation_," the source said. "Then, the pandemic hit, and they were locked down together and able to continue growing their relationship in this insulated way. But he

didn't really 'know' her yet outside of that bubble." Since the breakup, things are also changing for Swift, who recently told a crowd of concertgoers during her stop at

Gillette Stadium in Foxborough that she's "just never been this happy" in "all aspects" of her life ever. "And I just want to thank you for being a part of

that," she added. "It's not just a tour, I just sort of feel like my life finally feels like it makes sense." Swift's love life has also been a topic of conversation

amid rumors of a romance with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy. _NEVER MISS A STORY — SIGN UP FOR PEOPLE'S FREE DAILY NEWSLETTER TO STAY UP-TO-DATE ON THE BEST OF WHAT PEOPLE HAS TO

York City's Casa Cipriani, where they were out with mutual friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff. Although reps for Swift and Healy's band have not responded to requests for

comment regarding the nature of their relationship, a source told PEOPLE earlier in the month that Swift is "very focused on her tour but is enjoying hanging out with Matty when she is

off" and that the pair are "not just platonic."
