A Timeline of Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse’s Relationship

When Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse first sparked romance rumors in 2018, the internet naturally lost its mind. The duo—he a brooding British heartthrob, she a model-turned-musician with enviable it-girl style—quickly became a fan-favorite pairing. Despite their A-list status, Pattinson and his partner kept their relationship largely under wraps at first, rarely making public appearances together and opting for privacy over spectacle.

Over the years, their bond only seemed to grow stronger. From cozy London outings to the occasional joint red carpet moment, the couple quietly defied the odds in an industry where celebrity breakups are more common than not. In 2023, Waterhouse confirmed they were expecting their first child, and in early 2024, the couple welcomed a baby girl, further cementing their commitment to one another.

Though their relationship has stood the test of time, the couple’s marital status remains unconfirmed. Speculation about a secret wedding swirled after reports claimed Pattinson and Waterhouse tied the knot in a private ceremony on New Year’s Eve to ring in 2025—but neither star has addressed the rumors.

Waterhouse has since opened up about Pattinson’s unwavering support during postpartum, while Pattinson, typically private, has consistently spoken with quiet admiration about their relationship over the years.
