Fernando Alonso gives sharp 16-word answer as questioned about Taylor Swift dating rumours…as he tries to focus on Formula 1 return
Fernando Alonso has declined to confirm whether or not he is in a relationship with pop star Taylor Swift following speculation about a possible romantic relationship between the pair.
Swift divorced her long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn earlier this month, around the same time Alonso announced he and his girlfriend Andrea Schlager had split.
Rumors have since circulated that Alonso and Swift are now seeing each other, and the Spanish Formula 1 driver could barely quell the speculation by posting a hilarious TikTok video featuring Swift earlier this week.
In the video, Alonso was seen scrolling through his phone playing Swift’s hit “Karma,” before looking up and winking at the camera.
He commented on “Feeling 33” with a smiley emoji in what is believed to be a reference to Swift’s song “22” and captioned the post “Race week era” in a nod to the pop star’s current Eras tour.

The pair are rumored to be dating after recently separating from their respective partners
Ahead of this weekend’s Formula 1 race in Azerbaijan, Alonso was asked if the rumors about him and Swift were true, and the 41-year-old gave a sharp 16-word answer.
“I usually keep my personal and professional life separate. I’d rather not comment on it,” he said Marka.
Alonso has had a number of high-profile relationships over the years, earning him a reputation for being a playboy.
He married singer Raquel Del Rosario in 2006, but the couple announced their divorce five years later.

Since then, he has been in a relationship with Miss Switzerland runner-up Xenia Tchoumitcheva, Italian lingerie model Linda Morselli, and was engaged to journalist Lara Alvarez.
However, Alonso is silent on whether he sees Swift at the moment and is trying to stay focused on continuing his good start to the season at Aston Martin.
The veteran driver has finished third in all three races so far this season and is only behind the Red Bull pair of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in the standings.
After a four-week break, Formula 1 returns this weekend as Alonso looks to close the gap to Red Bull while keeping Ferrari and Mercedes at bay.
