It’s been a tough couple of months for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. The actor and the actress were married in an intimate ceremony in Italy back in October 2019. But since then, their marriage has been plagued by rumors of infidelity and legal battles. Now that the post-wedding spotlight has dimmed, we’re finally learning more about what happened during and after the event.
Here are the latest details.
The Wedding
On October 13, 2019, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were married in an intimate ceremony in the Tuscan city of Siena. The wedding was perfectly themed—Pattinson and Stewart’s love for Italy and all things gothic permeated every aspect of the day. The ceremony was followed by a reception dinner hosted by the couple in their hotel’s ballroom.
The guest list for the black-tie affair was a who’s who of Hollywood royalty. The wedding party included Pattinson’s father, Frank, who walked the bride down the aisle; her sister, Elissa, who served as maid of honor; and Stewart’s brother, Tristan, who performed the role of best man. The celebration was truly a family affair.
The bride’s parents, Bernie and Sandra, and her stepmother, Karen, attended the ceremony. Her paternal grandparents, Mabel and Charles, and her stepsister, Marjorie, were also in attendance. The guest list also included several other famous faces, including Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas, and Orlando Bloom. The guest list for the reception was equally as impressive, including various members of the Italian royal family and other famous faces from the worlds of fashion and film. It was a star-studded affair.
Rumors & Legal Battles
Shortly after the wedding, it was revealed that Stewart had been dating Pattinson’s friend, Waterworld star, James Marsden, for several months. The press speculated that Marsden was the mysterious groom in the white wedding dress, which led to the hashtag ‘#MarryKenny’. However, Marsden has publicly denied being Pattinson’s secret husband, telling reporters, “I have never wed or been married to Robert Pattinson. It’s not true.”
While the rumors were fun to play along with, it was a different story for Stewart. Back in 2014, she married Russian artist, Ilya Salmanzadeh, whom she met on the set of the film, Into the Woods. The couple separated just a few months later and divorced in September 2018. Stewart later dated and married again, this time to French billionaire, Alexandre de Betou, in March 2019.
Post-Wedding Plans
It seems that Stewart and Pattinson have moved on from the spotlight. The actress has shut down all of her social media accounts, while the actor has stayed quiet on his Twitter, only occasionally retweeting fans’ sweet messages. The two also went on an expedition with renowned explorer, Sir Martin Percival, where they spent five days in the Australian outback, trekking through dense rainforest and swimming with crocodiles.
But at least they’ll always have Europe. After the wedding, the couple spent their honeymoon in a grand Italian villa, staying in some of the rooms that Queen Victoria used to stay in. And as for the reception dinner party, well, it was such a happy event that they’re already planning to do it all over again.
This was the last ‘wedding of the season’. So, who will be the next celebrity to tie the knot? We’ll be keeping our eyes open for any major upcoming ceremonies.
