When did Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson date? Was there a specific moment when they became an item, or did their relationship just naturally develop over time? Was there a secret romance that lasted for years or was it just a quick fling? We’ll explore this and more in this article.
The Beginning Of Their Relationship
The beginning of any relationship is always the hardest. For Kristen and Rob, this was no different. After dating for several months, they decided to take the next step and begin living together. However, this was easier said than done. In order to make this happen, they had to navigate the complicated world of domestic partnerships in New York City. Luckily, they were successful and moved into their first official apartment together on September 16, 2010. This is what their publicist had to say at the time:
“They began dating in 2009 when they were both starring in the movie [the Twilight Saga: New Moon] and continued to hang out socially after filming wrapped. They got along really well and decided to make their relationship public. They began living together in September 2010 and are very happy together. They have taken their relationship seriously and are committed to one another. They are both dedicated to their children and family and believe it is important to be there for them as much as possible.”
Signs Of They Are An Item
It’s been three years since Kristen and Rob finally settled down and committed to one another. Since then, they’ve been together constantly. While cameras have followed them around the world, their schedules only occasionally have diverged. Even when they were apart for a while, they always found a way to be together. Their love for one another is evident every single day, but there are still some subtle signs that they’re more than just friends.
A Casual PDA
One of the first things that will strike you as a casual observer of the Stewart/Pattinson partnership is their obvious affection for one another. It’s impossible not to notice as they make constant eye contact and sometimes even hold hands. When they’re not looking at each other, they’re usually holding hands or laying their heads on one another’s shoulders. While their publicist tries to play the “couple” card, it’s hard not to see them as anything but an item. Even their friends are aware of what’s going on and don’t try to hide their affection either.
Intimate Weddings And Holiday Spots
One of the most recognizable symbols of the Stewart/Pattinson union is their dedication to each other and their strong commitment to one another. This was made even more evident in the aftermath of the 2016 U.S. Election when they stepped out for a romantic date. On that chilly November 9, Kristen wore a black dress and carried a black purse. At the same time, her beau sported a dark suit and dark pants. They looked every bit as devoted as they were a year earlier on their wedding day. Since then, they’ve continued to celebrate their relationship with frequent candlelight dinners and intimate weddings. In 2019, they were even given the key to the city by the mayor of New York City as a symbol of their enduring partnership.
Sober-Curious
One of the things that makes Kristen and Rob perfect for one another is their mutual respect for one another’s mental health. While Rob has struggled with addiction in the past, he’s never really let this issue get in the way of him and Kristen connecting with one another. In fact, he’s credited the success of his recovery with the fact that he’s been able to stay sober for so long. This year has been a remarkable anniversary for the pair, as 2019 marks three years since they first connected and began living together. In that time, they’ve been through a lot together. However, they’ve always managed to stay sober and committed to one another. They both credit this to their mutual respect for one another’s mental well-being. This has led to some fascinating discussions about addiction and recovery, which they often have late-night chat sessions about. While it’s not always easy, they’ve managed to balance their demanding schedules so that they can be there for one another whenever needed.
Ambitious Career Plans
Although they’re quite the regular feature on each other’s Instagram feeds, Kristen and Rob also have quite a bit of synergy when it comes to their careers. Not only do they star in the same movies, but they often work alongside one another as well. For example, they both starred in the Twilight Saga television show, and Twilight: Eclipse was their first movie together. Since then, they’ve worked on several more films. In 2018, they even made an appearance in the same comedy, Hearts Beat Loud, which is the story of a couple whose ambitions conflict. Despite their differences, they always see the bigger picture and respect one another’s work. In addition to their movie career, they also run a clothing line together called KStewart and Pattinson and are the face of several fragrance and beauty lines. They’re also actively engaged in supporting several charitable organizations, such as the National Eating Disorder Association and the Humane Society.
No Regrets
Although they’ve been together for a long time, there are still no signs of wear on Kristen and Rob’s commitment to each other. In fact, they’ve both credited their successful recovery and continued dedication to one another with helping them overcome their own personal challenges. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kristen said, “I think if anything, our relationship has only strengthened because of the things that we’ve gone through together. When you’re with someone that you adore, you don’t want to let them down. You don’t want to fail at something, so you try to be perfect.” While Rob has struggled with addiction, he’s always maintained a strong connection with Kristen and the strength to want to be there for her. Now that they’re older and wiser, they’ve both grown into their roles and responsibilities as a couple and have no regrets.
On the one hand, it’s remarkable that after all this time, Kristen and Rob’s dedication to one another hasn’t wavered. On the other, it’s a relief that they’re still so committed, because as much as we’d like to believe that time will heal all wounds, it doesn’t. People change, situations change, but the important things stay the same. For Kristen and Rob, their unwavering commitment to each other is what has allowed them to become the successful couple that they are today. It’s also what will keep them together forever, no matter what.
