In the realm of celebrity relationships, few exes receive the affectionate label of being the “best ex,” but for Taylor Lautner, this title comes with a sense of joy and gratitude. The Twilight star recently shared his feelings about being hailed as Taylor Swift’s “best ex” by the singer’s devoted fanbase, expressing appreciation for the unique moniker.
In an interview at The Lemons Foundation 1st Charity Gala in West Hollywood on November 12, Lautner responded to the fan-given title by saying, “That sounds like a nice compliment to me. I will take it.” The 31-year-old actor, who attended the event with his wife, also shared a playful revelation about Swift’s acknowledgment. Apparently, she informed him that he holds the distinction of being the only ex without a diss track. Lautner humorously quipped, “So that sounds like a nice thing. I’ll take it and run. No complaints here.”
Adding a touch of warmth to the conversation, Lautner’s wife chimed in, saying, “In my mind, they’re not even exes,” emphasizing the amicable nature of the relationship between the former couple.
For those unfamiliar with their history, Lautner and Swift’s romantic journey began on the set of the movie “Valentine’s Day,” leading to a brief but notable relationship in 2009.
Beyond the lighthearted banter, Lautner delved into his experience attending Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Kansas City this past July. Describing the encounter with Swift’s passionate fanbase, known as Swifties, the “Abduction” actor reflected on the experience as “pretty surreal.” He went on to commend Swift’s work ethic, stating, “Taylor deserves everything that she is getting and going through right now because she’s the hardest-working person.”
In a heartfelt tribute, Lautner highlighted Swift’s character, noting her graciousness and kindness to everyone. “That’s the greatest part about her in my opinion,” he added, revealing not only mutual respect but a genuine admiration for Swift’s achievements and her genuine nature.
As Taylor Lautner gracefully embraces the playful title of being Taylor Swift’s “best ex,” their story remains a testament to the enduring camaraderie that can emerge from past relationships in the world of entertainment.
