Rumors began swirling in December 2025 when Alwyn was spotted pushing a stroller with a young girl alongside his mother. Although Alwyn has never publicly discussed fatherhood, some fans hastily concluded that the child must be his. Adding fuel to the fire, they speculated about the girl’s age, suggesting she was born around the time Alwyn and Swift broke up. “This girl is about 3 years old, Taylor and Joe broke up 3 years ago,” one fan tweeted. “Yup that’s Joe’s kid.” If true, this would imply that infidelity might have contributed to their breakup after more than six years together.

It’s crucial to emphasize that this rumor is purely fan-driven speculation and should be approached with skepticism. Nonetheless, the chatter has already stirred up discussions among Swifties, who are known for their passionate debates regarding the details of Swift’s breakup with Alwyn.

While Swifties are united by their admiration for Taylor Swift, they’re not always in agreement. This vast fanbase frequently engages in lively discussions on topics ranging from Swift’s past relationships to her business decisions and the famous Easter eggs she embeds in her music. One enduring subject of debate is her ex, Joe Alwyn, and the recent secret baby rumors have sparked particularly intense and divided conversations. Some fans are open to the idea that Alwyn might have fathered a child during or after his relationship with Swift, while others dismiss the rumor as baseless. They’re not holding back their opinions.

Swifties are connected through their shared love of Taylor Swift, but they’re not always on the same accord. The ginormous fandom regularly engages in passionate debates about everything from Swift’s relationship history to her controversial business practices and even those famous Easter eggs she hides in her songs. One of their favorite points of discourse continues to be her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, and the secret baby rumors have sparked particularly spirited and divisive discussions. You see, while some fans seem to agree that Alwyn could’ve actually fathered a baby during or after his relationship with Swift, others think the rumor is utter nonsense. And they haven’t been shy about it.

Underneath the aforementioned baby theory tweet, which has climbed to over 1.7 million views as of write time, many Swifties were quick to denounce the speculation. “This is an INSANE leap to make about a literal child,” tweeted one fan on X, formerly known as Twitter. A second user pointed out that the little girl could belong to one of Alwyn’s two brothers. “That’s his mother and probably his niece, some of you are so weird,” they wrote. Meanwhile, a third user urged the OP to rethink their theory. “You are so disgusting for this delete this,” they tweeted. Of course, there were also more, um, pointed replies about the baby theory, which are probably best left on X.

Fans also speculated whether Alwyn, who Swift recently implied disappointed her during her The Eras Tour docuseries, staged the paparazzi photos for attention. “Yeah he called them because there’s no way,” a fan tweeted, garnering nearly one million views.
