You'd think that Alec Baldwin , whose personal life has been under a microscope for decades, would have better things to do than keep tabs on other celebrities' love lives, but apparently, he's interested in at least one: Taylor Swift 's.

The New York Post reports that this past Friday at a film festival screening of Ethel , a documentary about Kennedy matriarch Ethel Kennedy , Baldwin was overheard asking Mrs. Kennedy herself "how her grandson was doing with his new girlfriend."  Ethel's grandson is, of course, Conor Kennedy , who's currently dating Taylor.

A spy tells the Post that "Ethel laughed" at Baldwin's comment, and noted that both she and her daughter Rory Kennedy , who created the documentary, "both seem to really like Taylor.”
