Fans have been waiting to hear what Fernando Alonso has to say about his dating rumors with Taylor Swift. Due to the unusual four-week long break in the calendar, no response as such had emerged from the 2-time world champion.
But as predicted, things changed as soon as the Spaniard hit the paddock for the media day for the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Alonso was showered with questions about him dating Swift, but to all those hearing and watching, the 2-time world champion ‘did not deny the rumors.’
Instead, Alonso replied with a *wink* while his team, Aston Martin, released a race weekend graphic showing ‘El Plan’ enjoying a pint of Peroni with a random woman in Aston Martin Team Merchandise. The graphic led the fans into dubbing the random woman as Swift. Meanwhile, one fan noted, “They know what they were doing.”
Fernando Alonso replies with a wink
Fans have become even more suspicious about the rumors following the cheeky responses that they got from the team and Alonso himself. Recently, Alonso even played along with the rumors and entertained his fans by sharing a TikTok video of him scrolling through his phone with Swift’s ‘Karma’ playing in the background.
In doing so, he also looked at the camera and winked at his fans further boosting the suspicions. While many think that the ‘legend’ that he is, he’s just using the current scenario and playing along with the media to publicize himself, some fans have gone the extra mile to dub the current scenes between Alonso and Swift.

Fernando Alonso does not want to comment on his ‘love story’
With fans buzzing over the rumors, journalists could not let Alonso go without the obvious questions about the rumors. In doing so, Will Buxton(F1 expert) framed the questions in the best possible way by asking him if he wanted to leave a “blank space” about the rumors surrounding his “love story.”
Meanwhile, Rachel Brookes(Sky Sports journalist) also played with the words suggesting ‘he was trouble’. But to all these questions, Alonso had the same response that he is just focusing on the race weekend in Baku.
At Sky, Fernando Alonso was asked if his dating rumors with Taylor Swift were true.
Alonso laughed and said he was only here to race this weekend.
