LATEST! Robert Pattinson confirms Kristen Stewart romance

Robert Pattinson - celebrity news

Calm yourself Twilight fans. After months of speculation, Robert Pattinson has finally confirmed he and Kristen Stewart ARE an item.

SEE OUR 10 BEST ROBERT AND KRISTEN MOMENTS HERE!

The secretive pair have been the subject of are-they, aren't-they rumours almost since the Twilight Saga began, after their explosive on screen chemistry looked a bit too good to be true.

Both Kristen and Robert refused to be drawn into any discussion about their relationship. Until now.

In a shock revelation at the BAFTAs after-party, sheepish Robert confirmed their relationship, admitting to the Sun: ‘It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes.'

But the Twilight star stressed the difficulties of being such a famous couple, which might explain the lengths they had previously gone to avoid being spotted together.

‘We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention,' he said.

We can't arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy.

‘This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it's impossible. We are here together and it's a public event but it's not easy.'

And it really wasn't easy for the pair, who both attended the BAFTAs on Sunday, but went to great lengths to stay separate.

Kristen, who collected the Orange Rising Star prize, was only able to attend the special dinner with the presence of six security guards.

But insiders say once inside the after-party, held at the exclusive Grosvenor House Hotel, the pair were all over each other, and were snapped sneaking out together around midnight.

Very good of Robert to finally admit the relationship with Kristin. A good love story earns nothing but appreciation and respect, hiding it instead makes it look like they are inmauture and unreasonsable guys. We all should be glad for them and let them be, let's all start behaving like real fans, enjoy their work, their story and not some just sick kids.
Comment by peggy on February 23 09:50

Ecstatic about it....!!!!!!!!
Couldnt'comprehend really all the ruse going on around them~ when this should be one of the happiest moment of their young lives to love and enjoy it's other company. Their true fans will understand ... With all the pressures in their career and personal lives, hoping they can balance it all out. We love Rob & Kristin ..
Comment by Mitch on February 23 10:01

Why did it take so long to come out? The fans are nothing but happy for them. They are both young, and can grow together. They seem to be the best of friends already, and that's a big plus. Much happiness to both of them! Seriously, why has this been kept under wraps? I guess maybe Summit has something to do with it, but the true fans will want nothing but the best for both of them. Love to both of you.......
Comment by Anna on February 23 10:04

YES!! Finally!! I'm so happy for them.... =)
Congratz Rob and Kristen!! I wish you both all the best!!
Comment by Trinie on February 23 10:15

I knew it! Why they're making such a fuss over this I'll never understant. They're a couple. Everyone's happy for them. Why so secretive? I'm sure they could've walked the BAFTA red carpet together if they'd really wanted to!
Comment by katie on February 23 10:16

I also hope that they'll split if they're now together. Rob is such a sweetheart who is always happy and KS just miserable. All the time. Even during getting the award. Just miserable.
Comment by boss on February 23 11:10

@Anna, sadly that's not true. Although there are a lot of people supporting them as a couple, there are also a lot of Rob fans who hate Kristen and don't want to see them together. (I notice a couple of them have already commented) I think, by keeping their relationship private it allows those Rob-delusionals the chance to fantasise that he's still available. Either his management or the studios want to keep all the fans happy, even the Robsessed ones. I'd be surprised if this report from the Sun was genuine. It wouldn't be the first time a tabloid has reported words that Rob didn't say. If Rob and Kristen choose to stay silent on their relationship I think it's probably for the happiness and safety of them both. I will still support them, regardless of whether they come out as a couple or not.
Comment by Heather on February 23 12:54

FINALLY!!!!!!
as much as i am jealous of Kristen Stewart getting to date robert i am glad they are finally admitting they are dating.
they are so cute with each other and i think they will carry on seeing each other even when Twilight finishes!! xx
Comment by Becky on February 23 13:36

What's the issue with it being 'so difficult'? So their a high profile couple - so too are brad & Angelia and Tom & Katie. But we don't seem them trying to hide it. They seem to be acting like it's something to be ashamed of, which it's soooo not. They should be proud to walk the red carpet together!
Comment by Emma on February 23 13:39

Wait a minute...after months and months of speculation, Robert decides to randomly confirm they're together after dodging the rumours for so long... Seriously?? I'm taking this with a pinch of salt. I'm not saying they're not together, but this doesn't seem very logical to me. Sorry!
Comment by Kira on February 23 13:42

I'm really happy for them. It must be really hard trying to build a relationship in the public eye. I hope they are really happy together. xxx
Comment by Karen on February 23 13:54

Is it just me or does she always look miserable and grumpy??! For goodness sake, love, give us a smile for once in a while!
Comment by Tracey on February 23 14:03

It's terrible to be critical of Kristen's looks...she is stunning and is probably a beautiful person... Jealousy gets people nowhere! good luck to them both!
Comment by Ciara on February 23 16:57

AT LAST! So happy to hear this for some reason, even though I am not a fan of the whole Twilight Saga but they do look so good together! Wishing them all the best :)
Comment by Linh on February 23 17:13

To Kaigleigh Wood: How old are you? seven? six? You think every celebrity guy should take a woman who looks like a model? Is that "a bit" shallow. And you actually hope that two people in love will brake up?
Comment by Joanne on February 23 17:14

Finally! They make such a good couple. I think they should appear together though, what can the fans do to them except scream?!
Comment by Tara on February 23 18:09

Its good that they've finally admitted that they are a couple. But Robert with Kirsten doesn't seem right, well she always seems grumpy & stuck up where as Robert, when he's around his fans or giving interviews is smiling & seems genuine. Maybe he'll teach her to smile properly!!!
Comment by Shweta on February 23 19:47

Lol, totally agree with ' Kaigleigh Wood'. I mean if they want to be together, then OK, I don't have anything against it, but he could do better. But I always felt the same way about EB too. Bella's not that special. Anyway, my point is I'm glad they finally admitted it, cause it was kinda obvious, and all those speculations were just annoying, but I'm not that interested in them. And I seriously doubt they will last.
Comment by AJTLA on February 23 19:55

i think its great they go together so well on screen and off ! i love robert pattinson but hope that he still has an open space for all his fans :p i do love the fact their together though xxx
Comment by sarah on February 23 20:20

I am so happy for them, I am over 30 and me and my daughter, but specially me have been watching a lot of pictures and videos lately about them.They look and behave so wonderully in all.And making all that fun !Could not beleive they were not a pair.They are two very special people,sincere and interesting, emotional and sensitive,meant for each other.I wish them all the best, and this period of the Saga is a present in their lives, i beleive.Congratulations Rob, you are a brave young man, you have chosen the right lady.She is a little bit stubborn, but it will work out!
Comment by Tímea from Hungary on February 23 23:19

I love that they are together. It adds such intensity to their characters in the Twilight Saga. They have incredible chemistry, and I love watching them on and off screen. They are beautiful together. I wish them deep love and respect for one another.
Comment by Lee geis on February 23 23:43

I would like to add some support for Kristen Stewart. If you really pay attention to her and her words you can see she is a thoughtful, caring and sweet girl. What is mistaken for "grumpy" is her shy demeanor. She loves her work and her fans. Let's not judge her too harshly.
Comment by Lee geis on February 23 23:50

I think they are good for each other. I hope this is not a rumor and is true. Everyone should mind their business and leave them along!!!!. Too many couples split up because they are always on the spotlight. Let them be!!!. GOOD LUCK TO ROBERT AND KRISTEN!!!!!
Comment by Ellie on February 24 03:32

Oh please. I have no idea why there is so much hype about this whole thing.
Comment by Holly on February 25 13:03

Comment by jessica on February 25 17:47

They make such a lovely couple, good for them!
Comment by Diana Banks on February 25 17:56

This is REALLY sad. All you people obsessing over someone else's life. Geez! Instead of sitting around and watching other people live their lives, why don't you go out and get yourself a life of your own.
Comment by Anonymous Girl on February 25 22:57

Comment by meg on March 04 06:09

I think they make a great couple. She looks down to earth and thats a good thing.Everyone needs to leave them alone. They are not Edward and Bella.Stop trying to picture them as just that.
Comment by Angela on March 04 20:54

Comment by zoe on March 05 22:18

I'm so happy for them, i was hoping that the rumors were true.When you are going through something like fame, it help to have someone there from the being to go though it together.I hope they can get some there time in for each other. Congradulation Robert and Kristen.
Comment by Autumn on March 06 01:01

Comment by kimberly on April 14 08:20

i am really happy that they are together....at last. i just hope it does not end as soon as the films are made.
they both seem really good together but it has taken a while for them to admit it!!!!
but i am still hapy for them both
Comment by Cara on April 16 17:56

I think they are good for each other and everyone else that wants them to split up, shame on you. People deserve to be happy and if they are then let them be. Jealousy leads to nowhere.
