Emma Stone and Joe Alwyn’s friendship might be going through a rough patch.

The two actors were very close, but it’s to be expected that Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift’s breakup would put a strain on their relationship, as Emma is very good friends with the singer as well.

Swifties recently wondered about the state of Emma and Taylor’s friendship, considering that the actress was working closely with Taylor’s ex in the new movie.

The fact that Emma Stone had gushed over her friendship with Joe also raised some eyebrows.

But it seems the two actors are now taking a break from each other.

Emma Stone Seemingly Avoided Joe Alwyn At Cannes Film Festival

Fans began to notice a rift between Emma Stone and Joe Alwyn at the Cannes Film Festival, when the two of them showed up to promote their latest movie, Yorgos Lathimos’ Kinds Of Kindness, but things were apparently frosty between them.

Through the red carpet walk and the rest of the ceremony at the Palais, Joe and Emma kept their distance. That might not have been that suspicious, since they weren’t explicitly at odds or anything, and they were both clearly enjoying themselves separately, but it was what came after the event that caused people to wonder if, following his breakup with the pop star, Joe Alwyn would be cast aside by Emma Stone, and by extension, Yorgos Lathimos, who has done several films with her and considers her his muse.

After the festival, Emma, Yorgos, Willem Dafoe, and the rest of the cast and crew attended a small party at the Carlton Hotel to celebrate the new movie, but according to the Daily Mail, Joe Alwyn was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he attended a dinner hosted by Charles Finch filmmakers in Antibes, where director Greta Gerwig also made an appearance.

Emma Stone Recently Praised Joe Alwyn

Fans recently seemed concerned that Emma Stone had taken Joe Alwyn’s side in the breakup with Taylor Swift, jeopardizing her friendship with the singer. Working on Kinds Of Kindness, a movie with dark themes that involve Joe Alwyn’s character doing heinous things to Emma Stone’s, seemed to have brought the two actors closer.

“I love Joe,” the actress gushed recently. “We had to do some pretty dark stuff on this one, so it was extremely comforting to be with him because he’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet.”

In addition to being good friends, Emma and Joe had worked together in another famous Yorgos Lathimos movie, The Favourite, and they played a couple, so they were already comfortable with each other on screen and knew they could trust each other.

However, it doesn’t sound like that closeness to her ex-boyfriend has made Taylor Swift turn her back on Emma Stone. In fact, the actress even gets credited on one of the songs from Taylor’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department, which fans are convinced reflects on her relationship with Joe Alwyn.
