Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse have kept their three-year relationship largely off the radar, but the two stars made it clear in New York City yesterday that their romance is going
strong as the holiday season continues. The pair was photographed walking the streets in their best winter day date attire. Pattinson opted for a monochrome blue look, wearing a hooded puffer jacket with matching blue pants. Waterhouse chose earth tones, stepping out in a brown Carhartt hat, rose-colored wool coat, and a black Dior cashmere shawl, per the photo agency. She held Pattinson’s gloved hand in front of photographers in a subtle show of affection.
In November, E! got a brief update from a source about how Waterhouse and Pattinson’s romance is going. “They are very solid in their relationship,” the source said. That insider added that during the couple’s rare public appearances together, they’re “always just totally joined at the hip. You can tell he’s completely in love with her.”
Waterhouse and Pattinson were first romantically linked in summer 2018. In October 2020, a source spoke to E! about whether they’d get engaged. The topic had been broached before, the source said, but they had no immediate plans to put a ring on it. “Rob and Suki have definitely discussed getting engaged but are in no rush,” the source said. “Suki is not pressuring him, and they are both very committed to each other.”
The pair has never spoken about their relationship in any interviews. Pattinson told the Sunday Times in April 2019 that he makes a point not to talk about his love life publicly.
“If you let people in, it devalues what love is,” he said. “If a stranger on the street asked you about your relationship, you’d think it extremely rude. If you put up a wall it ends up better. I can’t understand how someone can walk down the street holding hands, and it’s the same as when I do it and a hundred people are taking your photo. The line between when you’re performing and when you’re not will eventually get washed away and you’ll go completely mad.”
