Fernando Alonso gives sharp 16-word answer as he’s questioned over Taylor Swift dating rumours

Fernando Alonso has refused to confirm whether or not he is dating pop star Taylor Swift following speculation regarding a potential romantic relationship between the pair.

Swift split from her long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn earlier this month, around the same time Alonso announced he and his girlfriend Andrea Schlager had gone separate ways.

There have since been rumours that Alonso and Swift are now seeing each other, and the Spanish Formula One driver hardly quashed the speculation by posting a hilarious TikTok video that featured Swift earlier this week.

In the video, Alonso was seen scrolling through his phone while playing Swift’s hit ‘Karma’, before looking up and winking 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.

Rumours have circulated that the pair are dating after recently splitting from their respective partners

Ahead of this weekend’s Formula One race in Azerbaijan, Alonso was asked if there was any truth to the rumours about him and Swift, and the 41-year-old delivered a sharp 16-word response.

‘I usually keep my personal and professional life apart. I prefer not to comment on it,’ he told Marca.

Alonso has had a number of high-profile relationships over the years, earning himself a reputation of being a playboy.

He married singer Raquel Del Rosario in 2006, but the pair announced their separation five years later.

He has since dated Miss Switzerland runner-up Xenia Tchoumitcheva, Italian lingerie model Linda Morselli and was engaged to journalist Lara Alvarez.

However, Alonso is keeping quiet about whether he is seeing Swift at the moment, and is trying to stay focused on continuing his fine start to the season at Aston Martin.

The veteran driver has finished third in all three races so far this term, and is only behind Red Bull pair Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in the standings.

Following a four-week break, Formula One returns this weekend as Alonso looks to close the gap to Red Bull while also keeping Ferrari and Mercedes at bay.
