He may be a heartthrob worldwide but even the most dedicated fans of the “Bardot Brides” may be surprised to learn that Robert Pattinson did not marry his partner, Emily Brown. While the couple has been together for almost a decade, it seems that their union has never been officially sanctioned by the state. This week, the couple finally made headlines for all the right reasons as they welcomed their first child into the world.
Emily and Robert have kept their babymoon a secret for the past 10 months and on Thursday, December 21, the beautiful family finally unveiled their newborn son to the world. The couple made the decision to keep the name of their son private but let’s be honest, he’s going to be a future heartthrob whether he likes it or not. For now, the little guy goes by the name of Robert Pattinson Junior.
No Wedding Party?
Emily and Robert have opted to keep their babymoon a secret for the past ten months so it would not be a total shock if their wedding ceremony had no wedding party. In fact, in some parts of the world, a childless couple’s union is considered to be scandalous. However, as much as we’d like to think that the world has become more accepting of unmarried couples, it is still considered quite the “milquetoast” behavior. Even in the UK, where same-sex marriage was legalized in 2013, an unmarried couple’s first babymoon is often considered an extravagant and unnecessary luxury.
An Unconventional Path to Parenting
While most parents take a more conventional route and enjoy the perks that come with being a parent, Emily and Robert have chosen an unconventional path. They have kept their babymoon a secret since before the birth of their son. During their first visit to Cambridge, England to meet with friends, they revealed that they were going to be parents and that the gender of the baby was not important to them. At the time, this was met with skepticism by their friends who had no idea what type of parenting style the couple would use. To this day, many of their friends still do not know what type of parents they are going to be.
Choosing Your Own Name
Another interesting aspect of this story is that the parents have chosen the name of their son after they were officially told that the name Robert was not available. When the couple fell in love with each other, they had to search diligently for a last name that was not already taken. However, after their son was officially blessed with his new last name, the parents changed his name back to its original form of Robert Pattinson.
How Does This Affect His Career?
This is a kid who is going to draw a lot of eyes. Whether he chooses a career in acting or modeling is still undecided but his choice to keep his name a secret may have a huge impact on his career. When a celebrity decides to keep their identity a secret it often means that they are trying to keep a new project or persona a secret. Sometimes this is done intentionally to pull off a prank or to keep the media guessing. However, in many cases it simply means that the celebrity does not want the world to know about their personal life at this time and is trying to protect their interests.
