Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson appear very much together having been spotted together twice since the Brit’s return to LA following over two months filming on location in Australia. And it appears this reconciliation was a well thought out plan as the source explained to perezhilton.com:

‘Kristen played it really cool the last couple of months while Rob was away — she just took care of herself and wasn’t this needy girl begging for his attention. Rob has always admired her independent nature and it looks like its paid off. Kristen couldn’t be happier!’

Clearly the duo’s brief hiatus really worked and allowed both parties time and space to work things out. It had been previously speculated that Robert had banned Kristen from calling him while he filmed The Rover in the Australian outbreak and if true, this tactic appeared to work.

During this time Kristen distracted herself by hanging out with friends including Taylor Lautner who she was seen playing baseball with and heading to live music venues in LA.

We’re just happy they’re back together!
