F1 legend Fernando Alonso pours fuel on rumours he’s dating Taylor Swift with hilarious video

Two-time Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso has reacted to rumours he is dating Taylor Swift by posting a video featuring him winking as he listens to one of the pop superstar’s hit songs.

The 41-year-old Spaniard was first romantically tied to Swift in an Instagram post on the DeuxMoi Instagram account last week, which quoted an anonymous email reading: ‘A couple of Spanish magazines have been posting about TS [Swift] and Spanish F1 driver Fernando Alonso.

‘According to them, the couple has been seeing each other for a week now. Nothing serious tho since they are both recently single.’

Swift made headlines when she split from long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn earlier this month, around the same time Alonso revealed he’d parted ways with girlfriend Andrea Schlager. 

The F1 icon’s TikTok video shows him sitting and scrolling through his phone while Swift’s hit ‘Karma’ plays as he looks up and winks at the camera.

He commented ‘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 DeuxMoi Instagram post was made in a section where content is marked ‘for entertainment purposes only’ and came with the disclaimer ‘some of the emails posted are complete BS’ – but that didn’t stop fans from getting carried away with Alonso’s response.

‘Oh my god Taylor X Fernando confirmed????’ one commented on TikTok.

Swift (pictured performing in Texas last week) made headlines around the world this month when it was revealed she’d split with her boyfriend of six years, actor Joe Alwyn 

‘Fernando please confirm or deny, was mastermind written about you,’ another asked, referring to a song on Swift’s latest album, Midnights. 

‘Never did we think in our Wildest Dreams this would happen,’ commented another fan, mentioning Swift’s hit tune from 2014.

The 33-year-old and Alwyn were together for six years after reportedly meeting at the Met Gala in 2016 and their relationship was marked by many rumours they had become engaged – or even secretly married.

It wasn’t until more than a year after their meeting that they were photographed together in 2017 in Nashville, Tennessee.

During their early years together they would sometimes don disguises to visit each other or make outings together undetected, according to US Weekly. She made frequent under the radar trips to his home city of London.

Alonso, 41, recently announced he’d broken up with girlfriend and sports commentator Andrea Schlager (pictured together) 

In October 2018, Joe told British Vogue that the secrecy around tehir relationship was intentional.

‘I’m aware people want to know about that side of things. I think we have been successfully private,’ he said.

Alonso and sports commentator Schlager also kept their romance out of the public eye as much as possible after they reportedly met through Formula One.

The Aston Martin driver shared news of their break-up on Instagram, writing: ‘We wanted to tell you that our relationship as a couple ended.

‘We have been lucky enough to share a fantastic time together, and it will continue to be so, but on a different form of affection.’

Alonso has also previously been in relationships with Carolina Costa, Dasha Kapustina, and most recently, Linda Morselli.

Despite his past loves, Alonso does not have any children. In 2018, he mentioned that his dedication to the sport had left him with ‘no friends, no family, no free time, no privacy, no wife and no kids.’
