When Did Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Break Up?

It would seem that not even a year of marriage can bring two people closer together than they were before the big day. Since tying the knot, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been showing off their affection for one another in public. The couple has been making appearances together around the world, whether it’s competing in an Ironman competition or just spending some quality time together.

But just how in touch are the former ‘It’ girl and the ‘He’ of ‘Twilight’ with one another? When did their relationship turn sour, and what led to their split? Let’s take a look back at the key moments that shaped their story…

Key Moments In The Relationship

It was 2010, and the world was abuzz with the news that Robert Pattinson had finally said ‘I do’. The British actor had long been considered “The One” for Kristen Stewart, and fans had been debating for years if he was actually the one. The couple wed in a private ceremony in France earlier that year, and had been inseparable since.

However, it wasn’t long before cracks started to appear in their relationship. The paparazzi were quick to notice, and began to follow the newlyweds around the globe. It didn’t take long for Kristen to realize that her husband wasn’t completely in love with her, and saw her more as a sex object than an equal.

When the couple returned from their honeymoon in September 2010, they found themselves in a war zone. The press had turned hostile, and was harassing them on a daily basis. Kristen complained to police, and even sought protection from her husband. But nothing could deter Robert from his quest to show the world that he was devoted to her. The couple would go on to have two sons together, Silas and Archer, which further solidified their love for each other.

The stress of being followed around the world by journalists desperate for a story took its toll on their marriage. The once inseparable pair became more and more distant, with Robert staying in the shadows while Kristen stepped out for strolls with the kids. The situation reached a head in October 2012, when an altercation with photographers at a Hollywood event left Kristen battered. She subsequently filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The split was finalized in March 2013.

The Aftermath

With Robert Pattinson now single, it was up to him to take care of his children. The actor has proven to be a devoted dad, frequently posting pictures of his kids on Instagram. He also takes them on dates and spends time with them outside the home, which has helped mend some of the hurt caused by his divorce from Kristen.

Pattinson’s social media accounts are also filled with love letters to his kids, and he has said that writing to his sons has been one of the great joys of his life. In fact, the actor has referred to his Twitter account as “love letters to the world,” and his Instagram account as “letters to my kids about how much I love them.”

Despite the reconciliation, it’s fair to say that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s relationship was never really the same. The former lovers remain best friends, and Robert has admitted that he considers her to be the love of his life. But their connection wasn’t built on the foundation of equality, and the cracks in their marriage were there from the start.

The “I Do” songstress has also gone on to have a successful solo career, releasing four EPs and two albums. One of the albums, “Storyteller,” was inspired by her romantic experiences, including some that mirrored her time with Robert Pattinson. When Stewart received a Grammy nomination for best female rock vocalist in 2019, she credited the success to her work with “twilight” band Snow Patrol, and her bandmates’ performance on her albums.
