If you follow Hollywood news, you’ll likely know that actor Robert Pattinson has a very interesting love life. He currently has a girlfriend, but he’s previously dated some pretty famous women.
The English actor spent several years acting in Europe before moving to the U.S., where he landed a role on the popular series, Downton Abbey. Since then, he’s appeared in multiple films and TV shows including X-Men: Apocalypse, Beauty And The Beast, and The Walking Dead. He was also a judge on the International Emmys. All the while, he’s maintained a low-profile when it comes to romantic interests.
But that hasn’t stopped people from theorizing about his personal life, frequently turning to Twitter to get their fix.
Here’s a breakdown of the actor’s past and present relationships.
Robert Pattinson And Kate Winslet
In 2016, news surfaced that Robert Pattinson had been dating British actress Kate Winslet for over a year. They’d famously collaborated on the film The Age of Pi and kept their relationship a secret for a long time, even from close friends and family. Winslet later gushed about Pattinson in an interview, calling him her “perfect hero.”
The couple kept their romance a secret even after Pi was released. But they couldn’t keep their relationship a secret forever, as it was eventually reported that the two had broken up in December of that year. They decided to take a break to focus on their careers, which probably wasn’t a bad idea, as their individual film career trajectories went in different directions after Pi. Kate Winslet eventually moved to America to study performance, while Rob Pattinson filmed The Rover, a war film set in post-apocalyptic Scotland.
Laurence “Larry” Moss
Shortly after the break-up with Kate Winslet, it was reported that Robert Pattinson had started dating British television celebrity Laurence “Larry” Moss. The pair started chatting over the phone and eventually met up in person. They started dating in March 2017 and became engaged a little over a year later, in December of 2018. Moss previously worked as a journalist and published a book about her time in Hollywood, Hollywood Exposed.
However, neither the engagement nor the wedding were featured on social media. The couple opted instead to keep the celebration low-key, with just a small, private ceremony in January 2019.
Serene Patel
A little over a year after meeting Larry Moss, it was reported that Robert Pattinson and Kate Winslet had reconciled. The two got back together and started seeing each other more frequently. This led to speculation that the actor, 42, had finally found the love of his life. The couple kept their romance a secret until October 2019, when they held a low-key ceremony at a garden venue in London. They also hired a private wedding photographer, who documented their big day.
The couple’s choice of venue was no accident. They’d both grown up in London and went to the same high school. The ceremony took place at the Bel Air Hotel, which is a stone’s throw away from Kate Winslet’s parents’ house in Hampstead.
The two have been extremely private since the ceremony, and have kept most of their wedding details under wraps. But they did share a few pictures from the event on social media. Kate Winslet looked beautiful in a white dress, while Robert Pattinson wore a black suit with a white shirt and a red flower in his buttonhole.
Frances Bean
In November 2019, news broke that Robert Pattinson had started dating American singer-songwriter and dancer Frances Bean. The couple met while filming a biopic about Michael Jackson in the summer of 2019. Bean was one of the backup dancers for Jackson’s final performance, which was featured in the film.
Bean’s father is film producer Alan Bean, who’s best known for his work with Roger Corman. She has an older brother, Griffin, who’s also a musician. The family moved to Los Angeles when she was 15 years old and began studying music, which she later taught herself. She’s best known for her work with the group, the Dancers, on their self-titled album, which was released in 1989. It’s the only album she’s ever released. She also collaborated with rock band the Beatles on their classic album, Let It Be. This summer, she performed at a number of festivals including the Glastonbury, France’s Point Réaumur, and Barcelona’s Prada Marató.
Kate Winslet And Tilda Swinton
In June 2020, it was reported that Kate Winslet and Tilda Swinton had started dating. The two have been seen holding hands and kissing in public, which has led to speculation that they’re finally exploring their romantic side. Winslet and Swinton both have a history of dating high-profile people. The couple have been spotted out together several times, including at the BAFTAs in London. They kept their new romance a secret, as with most of their other relationships, but they did share a photo of themselves together on Instagram. They also held an engagement party in the countryside last year.
