Actress Natalie Portman and actor/director/producer/writer Robert Pattinson have been dating since 2011. The pair regularly share adorable photos of themselves on social media, and have even spoken publicly about their blossoming romance. But will their romance last? We’re not exactly sure. Here, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of their relationship. Let’s get started.
Pros
Actors Natalie Portman and Robert Pattinson both have thriving careers, and the timing of their romance was undoubtedly ideal. Natalie’s film career took off in the 2000s, and she’s since starred in a number of acclaimed and popular films, cementing her place as one of Hollywood’s top A-listers. Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson, who first gained attention as the director of the acclaimed film Waterhouse, followed up that success with the more recent films Good Time and Pattinson, and is now in post-production on his latest film The House with the Clock in the Walls. The timing of their relationship was also ideal as it came during the post-production phase of Robert’s most recent film.
The fact they’ve both been able to balance their various professional obligations with their relationship shows how committed they are to one another. They’ve even talked publicly about having to call time-outs on their romantic dates so that Robert can focus on his work. It’s clear that Natalie and Robert value their partnership and are determined to make it work, which is something we can all learn from.
Cons
It’s been almost seven years since Natalie and Robert first started dating, and Hollywood has changed a lot in that time. Back in 2011, Natalie’s film career was really taking off while Robert was still finding success at the beginning of his career. Since then, Natalie’s had a lot of romantic opportunities while Robert’s had to work harder to keep up. It might be time for the table to turn and for Robert to propose.
The fact that Natalie’s been so accessible to the press over the years probably takes some of the romance out of their relationship. Fans of Natalie know that she’s always open to interviews and never shies away from publicity, which makes sense as she undoubtedly needs it to maintain her celebrity. It’s clear that if she hasn’t found the right time to propose yet, it might be because she’s waiting for the perfect moment to swoop in and propose. For those who love Natalie, it’s probably not the best time to suggest that she’s found the perfect prince charming, because if she hasn’t, she might end up believing it.
Another con regarding their relationship is that Natalie is often cast as the romantic lead in her films. She’s had to date some strange, older men in order to keep getting roles, and it’s clear that she could use a little more variety in her choice of men. It would be great to see Natalie and Robert hit the romance jackpot with each other and end up married with children, but it might not be the best time for either of them to settle down just yet. There are still opportunities out there for them to find happiness, but for now, they should enjoy each other’s company while they can.
Overall
Although it’s clear that Natalie and Robert still love each other and are committed to making their relationship work, it might not be the best time for either of them to settle down just yet. They’ve both been extremely busy over the past seven years, and while they’re both still young, it’s starting to seem unlikely that they’ll have the time to fully realize their plan of having kids and growing old together. That’s not to say that they won’t end up having children, it’s just that the timing might not be right for them. It would be great to see them find happiness together, but for now, we should enjoy their company while we can.
