It’s no secret that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have fans across the world, and it’s not hard to see why. The British actor and the American actress have starred in some of the most popular films of the past few years, and it seems like they are always surrounded by a swarm of photographers whenever they are out and about. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and it’s attracted a fair share of fans to the couple’s side. Thanks to their busy schedules, it can be hard to keep track of all their romantic interchanges. So, when did Rob and Kristiann get together, and what did they do afterwards? Let’s take a look…
The Beginning
As we mentioned, the chemistry between Rob and Kristiann is undeniable. It was clearly enough of a draw for them to be featured in one of the most popular films of 2016, Trainwreck. In this film, which is directed by Richard Linklater, Rob plays Jack, a billionaire who hires strippers to help him make up for the lack of female company in his life. One of the leads, played by Kate McKinnon, is an aspiring journalist who attempts to befriend Jack. She sees him as the subject of her next article, and the pair hit it off, beginning a romantic interlude. The film focuses on their whirlwind courtship, which is filled with fun (and often very humorous) scenes. In one of the more memorable moments, we see the two of them dancing, which quickly progresses into a make-out session, intercut with shots of them making eye contact and giving each other meaningful glances.
The Making Of Trainwreck
It’s no secret that Making Of films, where the filmmaking process is discussed, are some of the most exciting films, and one of the biggest draws, is that it allows the audience into the head space of the directors. As fans, we get to see how the directors, in this case Richard Linklater, worked his magic to bring the characters to life, and we can understand the appeal of the film. Even without having seen it, you’ll know exactly what scene it is that Linklater is referring to when he discusses a particular moment in the film. In this case, it’s Jack’s birthday party, and the strippers have been hired to celebrate. McKinnon’s character, Samantha, begins to strip down to her bra and panties as the camera focuses on her stunning body. She proceeds to shake her bra and panties in front of the camera, before throwing them into the crowd. As Samantha removes her top, we see the audience, and the cameras, literally turn their heads towards her gigantic poster of Robert Pattinson on the wall. As she dances, the cameraman follows her movements, and the editing mirrors exactly what she does. It’s quite an audiovisual feast, and one of the many highlights of the movie. This scene, and a number of others, were improvised, and the results are pure magic. When word got out that Linklater had improvised a good portion of the film, it only increased its already considerable buzz.

The Aftermath
While we’re on the subject of Making Of films, it wouldn’t do any harm to discuss the aftermath of the film, particularly since it provides some interesting trivia. Once the cameras stopped rolling, Linklater and Stewart went on to have a very brief romance. They had a very low-profile wedding, which was attended by family and friends, and it seemed like the media had lost interest in the couple, almost as if they had outgrown their popularity. While it’s sad to see a relationship end, at least they had the opportunity to end it on their own terms, and without the media attention that comes with a high-profile romantic relationship. It was a beautiful wedding, and it’s great to see such a heartfelt gesture, even if it is somewhat anticlimactic.
More From Kristen Stewart
Since then, Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson have gone on to star in numerous films, including the upcoming horror movie, Personal Shopper, which should have its worldwide premiere later this month. In that movie, they play a mother and son who move to Paris, where they meet a string of famous Parisians who become their friends. The film focuses on their friendship, and how it develops into something more, but it’s still a mystery as to how a romance develops between them. In another one of their collaborations, Clouds of Silsila, which is set in an alternate history universe where the Roman Empire never fell, they play a married couple who find themselves in the middle of a conflict, but one that presents them with the opportunity to explore a more mature romance, as well as develop a platonic relationship with another man. It’s an intriguing premise, and it should prove to be yet another enjoyable film for their collaborative efforts. Fans will be looking for signs of a budding romance, given Rob’s previous relationships with high-profile women, and since Kristen has a history of romancing her leading men.
A Special Bond
It wouldn’t do any harm to end this article on a high note. The pair have constantly proven that they can captivate and enchant their audiences with their magnetic chemistry, and it seems like they’re always surrounded by a swarm of photographers, ready to snap a picture, or ready to help them promote a film. While it would be wonderful to see them commit to a romance, this could be yet another obstacle in their path to wedded bliss. If they can find a way to work through their professional and personal relationships, they could have the opportunity to explore a more mature, consensual romance, which could end up being one of the most interesting relationships to watch develop. It would certainly make for an intriguing couple of chapters in their personal story.
