Is Mary Beth Barone Joe Alwyn’s Perfect Astrological Match?
Joe Alwyn’s most high-profile ex is officially married. He seems unbothered by that. In fact, he appears to be dipping back into the dating pool himself. Joe Alwyn has sparked dating rumors after being spotted out and about with Overcompensating star Mary Beth Barone. The comedian is a fan of astrology, often citing it in her stand-up routine, so are she and Joe Alwyn a perfect match? It’s actually kind of complicated.
What the stars say about Joe Alwyn and Mary Beth Barone
Joe Alwyn was born on February 21, making him a Pisces. His rumored love interest, Mary Beth Barone, was born on May 28; she is a Gemini. The pair, who were seen hanging out in Brooklyn this week, are a water sign paired with an air sign, and that poses some problems. Astrologers generally describe the pairing as complicated.
Alwyn’s Pisces tends to be intuitive, dreamy, and emotionally driven. Barone’s Gemini runs on curiosity, wit, and constant motion. On one hand, both signs are naturally adaptable and prone to change, which can make for an easy, low-friction connection early on. On the other hand, that low-effort connection can morph over time into something that resembles disinterest. Without regular communication, the pairing can end up in a romance that’s built on shaky ground, with neither partner really pulling a ton of emotional weight.
Given that Barone built her comedy career on observational humor and Alwyn is known for a quieter, more introspective public presence, they have the classic setup of opposites attract. Whether that connection has staying power will largely depend on whether they can get their communication styles to sync up.
How it stacks up against Taylor Swift
While Joe Alwyn and Mary Beth Barone’s astrology signs make for a bit of a shaky pairing, Alwyn is no stranger to that. His highest-profile romance, with Taylor Swift, wasn’t exactly an astrological dream come true, either.
For comparison, Taylor Swift was born on December 13, making her a Sagittarius, a fire sign. The pairing, with Alwyn’s Pisces, is one that astrologers typically describe as capable of deep connection but with a lot of volatility. Communication can be a massive problem for couples sharing those signs, according to astrologers. For all intents and purposes, Alwyn has now dated two signs that sit on opposite sides of the astrological wheel, and they kind of bring the same energy.
While neither is a perfect match for Alwyn astrologically, one is slightly better than the other. Astrologers tend to favor water-fire dynamics for their intensity but frequently flag them as harder to sustain long-term compared to water-air pairings. While water-air pairings can bring some difficulty, their easy, friendship-like dynamic can make things feel a little easier as the relationship moves out of the honeymoon stage into something more sustainable. If it holds true, Barone’s Gemini energy could, in theory, offer Alwyn a lighter, more communicative dynamic than his years with a fire sign did.
Only time will tell how it all works out. Neither Alwyn nor Barone has confirmed a relationship.
