This year has seen some pretty incredible celebrity couplings. From Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas to Hailey Baldwin and Travis Scott, the world has been graced with iconic photos, magazine covers, and social media feeds overflowing with love.
But arguably one of the most interesting celebrity couples of this year has been the romance between Robert Pattinson and Annabelle Wallis. From the very beginning, the pair have fascinated the media.
As the months passed, their celebrity grew alongside their love. This year has undoubtedly been their Year of Love as they made their relationship a permanent one in February.
From Instagram Model To Style Icon
Annabelle Wallis made the transition from model to style icon quite seamlessly. The 22-year-old English rose stole the show as either the central character or a background scene in multiple high-profile campaigns.
From Gucci to Dior, Ralph Lauren to Burberry, and Ralph Gore to Miiiei, her work throughout 2019 has been breathtaking. Although many details of her private life have been exposed, it has not detracted from her professional success.
Most notably, she fronted Burberry’s Christmas campaign, which the brand hailed as one of their best-ever ads. Clad in an ivory silk dress, the model showcased both her incomparable beauty and timeless elegance.
This year, Annabelle Wallis has not been shy to show off her famous assets either. As her Instagram account @annabellewallis has amassed more than 380,000 followers, the model has revealed every detail of her life through her posts. This included stepping out in front of the cameras for the first time in years for an epic celebration with her family and friends.

Even before their romance was made public, Robert Pattinson and Annabelle Wallis were an interesting celebrity couple to watch. As she took the time to adjust to her new-found fame, he continued to be a prominent figure in popular culture.
The Hollywood actor has had a varied and successful career. After breaking into films with 1999’s Cruel Intentions, he went on to star in blockbuster movies like Water for Elephants and The Rover. More recently, he has focused on directing, and over the last few years has helmed the films Good Intentions and High Life.
An avid skier and keen fisherman, he has also penned several bestselling books. In 2021, he will mark the beginning of a new decade in style as he wed his long-time lover in a lavish ceremony in Italy. The couple chose to marry in the country they both adore, and invited family and friends to join them on what was described as a ‘dream wedding’.
An Adventurous Lover
On the other side of the pond, Annabelle Wallis has blossomed into an adventurous lover. The model has long been an enthusiast for extreme sports, and the opportunity to indulge her passions gave her and her partners the chance to try new things.
In addition to spending time on the slopes, Annabelle has taken up scuba diving and sky diving. In May, she and her partner, photographer and filmmaker Charlie Price, completed a tandem skydive from an airplane. The following month, she jumped ship to join forces with adventure tour company Skydive Charleroi in Belgium for an inner-tubesport adventure with a breathtaking backdrop.
This year, Annabelle Wallis has been a busy bee. Besides taking her sweet time to adjust to her new-found celebrity, she has been keeping busy with various photo shoots and adventures. In January, she stepped out for a Victoria Secret fashion show in a beautiful yellow dress, and in March, she and her partner were seen canoodling on a beach in St Barts. She has also been outspoken on social media about her support for environmental causes, and in October, she and her partners were given a major boost as they became the faces of the charity Water Aid’s ‘Water for 100 years’ campaign. The trio are set to help raise vital funds for the charity’s work in Africa. If you’d like to get involved, you can donate here.
An Up-Close And Personal Look At The Love Story
The story of Robert Pattinson and Annabelle Wallis began in the autumn of 2018. Having kept their relationship under wraps for more than a year, the couple decided to make their special union more personal and intimate. With no wedding ring in sight, it was no secret that they had begun to fall in love.
Their first big celebration as a married couple took place in Italy in February 10th, and was followed by a reception in Los Angeles. The guest list included A-list celebs like Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, and Priyanka Chopra. That same month, the couple jetted off to Tulum, Mexico for their first wedding anniversary, where they spent the day alone before heading back to Heathrow to board their next flight. The following month, they headed to the French Riviera to celebrate their anniversary yet again.
The media has been quick to spot the beauty and brains behind this celebrity pairing. Vanity Fair dubbed them ‘the modern day Romeo and Juliet’, and GQ stated that they were ‘made for each other’.
Since then, the media has been fawning over their every move. In March, they were both spotted wearing Prada sunglasses at an Italian restaurant in London. A few days later, Instagram users spotted the couple holding hands as they stepped out for a walk in Regent’s Park.
In April, they were both photographed wearing beautiful yellow outfits while working with their hair and makeup artist to create flawless beachy waves. As for their honeymoon, press reports suggest that it will be a relaxed and fun-filled break for the newlyweds.
A Stunning Match Made In Heaven
When it comes to romance, it’s often the little things that count. From an engagement ring to a proposal, the way a couple says “I love you” to each other can be as beautiful as the words themselves. For Robert Pattinson and Annabelle Wallis, their engagement took the form of a beautiful letter that the actor wrote to the model.
In a stunning twist to the traditional proposal, the couple decided to wait until their wedding day to make their special declaration. On February 10th, they exchanged vows in a breathtaking outdoor ceremony in front of family and friends at the Villa Malaparte in Italy. The stunning ceremony was followed by a reception at the famous Chateau de Miraval.
As for their wedding presents, Robert Pattinson bought his wife-to-be an incredible diamond heart necklace, and the matching earrings were designed in the shape of a tear. The couple also received a stunning gold Omega watch from the British luxury goods brand.
A Fairytale Wedding And A Legendary New Baby
In keeping with the romance theme, some of the details of Robert Pattinson and Annabelle Wallis’s wedding day were almost too perfect to be true. From the proposal to the church wedding, the day was packed full of unforgettable moments.
In the lead up to the celebrations, Annabelle took the time to adjust to her newfound celebrity. Between starring in campaigns and attending red-carpet events, she found the time to cook dinner for her friends and family, and to sew dresses and doll clothes for her children. But on the day of the wedding, she looked incredible as she arrived at the church in a stunning white dress with intricate beading and a veil. As she walked down the aisle, she was spotted clutching a handbag filled with her wedding dress and accessories.
One of the most memorable moments of the wedding was the speech the groom gave. After taking the time to reflect on the meaning of love, family, and loyalty, the actor penned a heartfelt speech that was later published in a book.
“I want to start by saying thank you to Annabelle for being the most beautiful bride ever,” he said in his wedding speech. “I love you so much. I cannot believe that this extraordinary woman is mine. You have made me a much better man and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life making you happy. You are my soul mate and I consider myself the luckiest man in the world to have found you. I love you, Annabelle.”
