The Conversations With Friends actor is notoriously private, and was known for rarely commenting on his relationship with Taylor, before and after they broke up.
However the actor 33-year-old actor recently gave an interview to The Sunday Times, where he spoke up about his high-profile ex for the first time.
"I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathise and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years. That is a hard thing to navigate,” the actor said.
"What is unusual and abnormal in this situation is that, one week later, it’s suddenly in the public domain and the outside world is able to weigh in."
The actor was asked for his thoughts on Swift's latest album The Tortured Poets Department, and the songs that are thought to be about him and their relationship.
He said they both “decided to keep the more private details of our relationship private" and "it was never something to commodify and I see no reason to change that now".
Joe, however, reassures us that he's doing well now.
“Look, this is also a little over a year ago now and I feel fortunate to be in a really great place in my life, professionally and personally. I feel really good," he added.
Good for him!
