FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson have been spotted on several occasions together. The “Pitch Perfect” singer was first linked to the “Twilight” actor after paparazzi caught them holding hands while walking down the streets of London. Since then, they have been seen out and about with each other in numerous occasions.
If you’re not familiar, FKA Twigs is a British singer-songwriter who released her debut album, “Kissing My Way,” in 2016. The album peaked at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and featured the singles “Cellophane” and “Spitfire.” The songs were inspired by the singer’s fascination with the automotive industry and a vintage car that she had bought.
Although she has not yet released a follow-up album, Twigs’ previous singles have achieved much success in Europe and Australia. In addition to her solo work, Twigs has also collaborated with major artists including Halsey, Zayn, and Charli XCX. She has even covered Beyoncé songs on YouTube.
First Love
The pair was first seen holding hands while strolling through London in April 2017. The 27-year-old actor was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, while Twigs wore a pale pink dress with green flowers. The next day, the Internet went into a frenzy after paparazzi caught the pair holding hands while sitting in a parked car in London. That is when the rumors about their budding romance began. The “Twilight” star even tweeted about the “Kissing My Way” singer the day after the two were spotted together, writing: “Never thought I’d say this but @fkatewigs and I really needed a kiss. Thanks for everything you do. X.”
A short time later, Twigs and the “Twilight” star were again seen holding hands while walking through London. This time, the “Beautiful” singer was sporting a white dress while the actor sported a black shirt with white stripes. Many have speculated that the two were also celebrating an anniversary. If this is true, it would be their first date.
The “Twilight” actor and singer were also spotted sharing a romantic dinner in London alongside Charli XCX and her then-partner, Tommy Clanczar. The dinner took place at Masa7, a sushi bar located in the heart of Covent Garden. The three had been talking about collaborating on a track for Charli’s upcoming album. At the end of the night, Clanczar gave the “Twilight” actor a romantic kiss before leaving with Charli. While Twigs and Charli stayed for another hour, the singer and the “Beautiful” actor did not seem to be on very friendly terms. They later made amends and were photographed together celebrating Halloween in London four days later.
Since then, the two have been seen together several times. They held hands while out for a stroll in London on May 3rd and waved at each other from their cars as they drove away. On another occasion, they were seen kissing goodbye as they left a party in Twigs’ honor. The couple has also been spotted leaving a dinner party together in London. The singer even posted a selfie with her and the “Twilight” actor while on a trip to Los Angeles in June.
An Artistic Match?
It is well-known that Robert Pattinson is a big fan of Twigs’ music. Back in May 2017, the “Good Time” singer told Wonderland Magazine: “I’ve been a fan of hers for a while. I think she’s underrated and I really like her music. She’s so cool and unusual. It’s hard to find pop artists that are interesting and original.” He even went on to call her “an extraordinary woman.”
Twigs was originally inspired to create her single “Cellophane” after reading a Rolling Stone story about the abuse of female athletes in men’s professional sports leagues. The song addresses the effects of objectification and the pressure that women face to look a certain way to be accepted by men. She described the song as a “cynical ode” to the “perfect” girl. While the idea of a perfect girl may seem like a contradiction, Twigs has also spoken about her struggles with self-image. She told Wonderland: “I’ve always struggled with my weight. I’ve never been happy with how I look. I think a lot of my music is about my insecurities and my self-image.”
Pattinson and Twigs have also been seen together at various industry events. Last year, the pair were spotted sitting at a table at the O2 Arena after a performance of Twigs’ in London. The two were also seen backstage at the Kontraviejsci Festival in Warsaw, Poland, in March. In November 2017, they were seen at the 2017 BAFTA Awards, looking very much like a happy couple. Later that month, Twigs was awarded the Classic Brit for Album of the Year at the 30th European Film Awards. It is worth noting that in 2016, Twigs was included in the Vogue list of the “Most Influential Women in Music.”
Their Secretive Romance?
Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, it seems that the two have kept their romance a secret from the public. While the “Twilight” alum has never been one to shirk from the paparazzi, it is still rather surprising that he has not introduced Twigs to his fans and the world at large. Perhaps he decided to keep the relationship a secret for the sake of both of them. His reasons for this are unknown. It has only been seen as a romantic gesture that he has not disclosed the romance to the public.
A representative for the “Twilight” star has only confirmed that he is “engaged to be engaged” to Katy Carr and has not provided any additional information. Carr is the daughter of Jane, an old friend of Elizabeth Taylor’s. The “Notting Hill” star was the godmother of Carr’s younger sister, Lily. Taylor was a close friend of the family and often babysat Lily and her two siblings. It is not known when the engagement will be announced.
Although Twigs has not yet announced the details of her upcoming wedding to Robert Pattinson, she would seem to be a very contented and devoted girlfriend. The musician released a statement to Hello! Magazine about their relationship. She said: “I’m so happy to be on this journey with Robert. We have such great respect for each other. We both have such strong principles and we challenge each other. He’s taught me a lot and I feel very privileged to be with such a talented man.” The statement also included a romantic gesture from the singer. She wrote: “To show how much I care, I gave him a small wedding gift – a silver heart-shaped box. It has a heart-shaped logo on the front and is engraved with ‘You’ll be mine till the end.’ Let’s just say there’ll be no ending here.”
It is clear that Twigs and Robert Pattinson share a special bond. They seem to be an artistic match and their shared passion for the Gothic lifestyle and alternative music scenes has led them to collaborate on several projects. Their relationship has also given rise to speculation about a possible new “Twilight” film. At the end of the day, fans will just have to wait and see what the future holds for these two iconic British stars.
