Joe Alwyn and Alexa Chung are seeing some good f--king tennis.
And while the court was not covered up by some tent-like thing, the duo did sit side by side at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London July 10, sipping from coffee cups and stoically watching the matches.
For the occasion—which has also attracted stars like David Beckham and Kim Cattrall—Joe, 33, donned a denim look, pairing a navy T-shirt with a blue button-down shirt, white trousers, and blue espadrilles. Meanwhile Alexa, 40, went full-on prep in a beige Ralph Lauren cardigan, a silk cream skirt and red sling-back heels.
At the tournament, Joe squeezed in to join Alexa and her mother, Gillian—who wore a pink floral dress with a white linen jacket and pink cardigan tied around her shoulders—in the stands. In addition to enjoying the matches together, the duo also passed drinks down their row to other patrons at the event.
While the Kinds of Kindness actor did not share any highlights from the day to his social media, Alexa later shared a snap of her mom, assuring her followers, “Mother enjoyed the tennis.”
Meanwhile, fans of Alexa and Joe couldn’t help but point out the irony of the pair being sat side-by-side.
“When a muse of several albums links up with another muse of several albums,” one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter, noting, “to maximize their joint musery.”
For Alexa’s part, many fans of the Arctic Monkeys credit her for inspiring the band’s most popular albums—as she dated its lead singer Alex Turner in the late aughts before breaking up in 2011. After all, the band’s most commercially successful AM closely followed up the split, hitting shelves in 2013.
As for Joe? This London Boy has allegedly inspired many of ex Taylor Swift’s albums and songs amid their six year relationship, in addition to even writing on some of them—most recently Midnights’ Sweet Nothing”—under the pseudonym William Bowery.
And Taylor even gave Joe the ultimate praise when she accepted folklore’s Grammy for Album of the Year back in 2021.
“Joe, who is the first person I play every single song that I write,” she noted at the 63rd annual ceremony. “I had the best time writing songs with you in quarantine.”
These album muses weren’t the only head-turning presences at Wimbledon. Keep reading for everyone who was in attendance.
