Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart seemed totally comfortable with each other during their first public appearance since the Rupert Sanders scandal

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart seemed totally comfortable with each other during their first, and highly anticipated, public appearance since the Rupert Sanders affair/scandal/debacle.

The Twilight stars appeared with co-star Taylor Lautner on MTV News to promote the upcoming Breaking Dawn Part 2.

Looking casual yet stylish in a black and blue striped jumper and jeans, Kristen sat in between her two leading men, who play Edward Cullen and Jacob Black in the hugely successful vampire-based movie franchise.

Any personal questions were strictly off limits to save Rob and Kristen any awkwardness - not that there seemed to be even a hint of hostility between the real-life couple.

Talking about the press trail for the new Twilight flick, Kristen moaned that she and Rob had been split up to promote the film so far.

'For the last few press junkets, they've been separating everyone which is silly. I think because we love hanging out,' she said.

The only remotely personal subject brought up during the interview was the Rob and Kristen's choice of Halloween costume the night before.

Talking about Kristen's pink wig and Rob's scary mask that they wore to a Halloween bash, Kristen said: 'Oh yes, it looks awesome,' about the photo of herself in a pink bobbed wig and sunglasses. 'That's not fair. That's actually a really weird [photo].'

While Rob said: 'That's not me,' he joked, adding: 'I chose someone who is just genuinely terrifying. It was a $3 mask from a 7-Eleven.'
