Opening up for the first time about his relationship with the American singer-songwriter, Alwyn spoke to The Guardian in a recent interview.
He shared: "I've just try to focus on what I can control," he said. "From the start, I've focused on what matters to me: family, friends, work, and the like. The external noise is something I've learned to ignore. If you don't, and if you let it in and allow it to affect you, you're living from the outside in. And then you're pretty f*cked."
He added, "It's exhausting, but I have great family and friends and real things in my life. Those are the things that keep me grounded." Alwyn further emphasized, " We're talking about something that happened a while ago, so it's in the past for me. That's how I feel about it."
