From stolen kisses in London to welcoming their first child, Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse have kept their romance under wraps for over seven years. The private pair, both Brits with star power, have shared rare glimpses of their low-key love story amid busy careers. Now parents to a baby girl, they're stronger than ever—or so the sightings suggest.
Oh, darlings, grab your popcorn because Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse's love saga is the ultimate slow-burn romance we didn't know we needed. It all kicked off on July 30, 2018, when E! News snagged photos of the duo locking lips on London's streets after a 9 p.m. screening of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. An eyewitness spilled to E!: “Along the way, they were very close and cuddled and kissed many times. Robert was very affectionate to her and had his arm around her the whole way.” 😍
By August, insiders told Us Weekly they'd been dating for months, bonding over music and their chill vibes—both fresh off high-profile splits (him from FKA Twigs, her from Bradley Cooper). A quick "casual" phase while he filmed The King in London, but a Daily Mail split rumor? Total fake news, as LaineyGossip shut it down with FaceTime proof.
Fast-forward through sneaky double dates (hello, Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn in June 2019), quarantines in his Batman-era London pad (May 2020), and that PDA park kiss post his COVID scare (September 2020). Engagement whispers swirled in 2020 and 2023, but no ring confirmation—yet.
Pattinson got real on privacy in a 2019 Sunday Times chat: “If you let people in, it devalues what love is.” Waterhouse echoed the sentiment in a 2023 Times interview: “I’m shocked that I’m so happy with someone for nearly five years.” They bought a $5.3 million Hollywood Hills pad in February 2023, proving things were serious.
The tea got piping hot in November 2023 when Waterhouse confirmed her pregnancy at Mexico's Corona Festival, quipping, “I thought I’d wear something sparkly to distract you from something else I’ve got going on.” Baby girl arrived late March 2024; she shared a sweet IG post: “welcome to the world angel ❤️.” At Coachella, she revealed, “I’ve been very lucky to have my own little amazing lady.”
Pattinson gushed to British Vogue in July 2024 about their meet-cute at an intense L.A. games night with Al Pacino: “We both sort of have the same slight uncomfortable-ness [and quickly] started giggling.” In a January 2026 GQ sit-down, he admitted fatherhood flipped his script: “It’s the most fun thing. I think it’s absolutely wonderful.” Recent sightings? Cozy dinners, family walks, and that November 2025 premiere hand-in-hand. Eyes on: Will wedding bells finally ring? 👀
