One of the most fashionable and popular Hollywood celebrities is reportedly set to marry his long-term partner, French photographer, Vanessa Paradis in the coming months. The engaged couple has been dating for several years and have built a life together in Southern France – a permanent holiday for the pair. The star is known for his elegant and luxurious style, which sees him regularly featured in global fashion magazines and platforms like Vogue. He is considered one of the most eligible bachelors in the world, and is often linked to A-list celebs.
The couple were first spotted together in Paris in September 2011, and have since been seen dining in Los Angeles and attending various award ceremonies together. More recently, the pair were photographed enjoying a romantic stroll in the French capital. Their relationship status is currently listed as ‘engaged’ on their social media platforms.
Who is Robert Pattinson?
Robert Pattinson is an English actor, film producer, and fashion lover. After starring in the popular and critically acclaimed Twilight series, he went on to establish himself as a major star in his own right. He has starred in a number of high-profile Hollywood films, including Water for Elephants, the Harry Potter series, and The Rover. In 2017, he was ranked number 38 on the Forbes List of the World’s Most Powerful Celebrities, with an estimated worth of $180 million.
Pattinson started his career in 2007 with a series of supporting roles in independent British films. Following the blockbuster success of Twilight, he went on to establish himself as a leading man and won praise for his romantic dramas alongside British beauty, Olivia Colman. He was named Best Actor at the 2017 BAFTA Film Awards for his role in Loving. This is considered one of the most prestigious and coveted film awards in the industry. He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019 in recognition of his brilliant career. In September 2019, it was announced that Pattinson would be producing an adaptation of L.A. Confidential for Netflix. The long-awaited television series is set to premiere in December.
Rumours and Spurious Gossip
Although a wedding date has yet to be revealed, there have been plenty of rumours and scandalous gossip surrounding the couple’s relationship, mainly centering around Pattinson’s numerous (and famous) girlfriends in the past. While there is no denying that he has been incredibly discriminating when it comes to choosing his partner, there is a darker side to this legendary status. Some of these rumours link him to a string of high-profile and notorious break-ups, including the break-up of his engagement to Hollywood actress, Kate Winslet in 2015. This was just one of the many messy break-ups that have rocked the actor’s social life in recent years. Since then, he has remained single and childless (at least for the time being).
Other rumours suggest that his choice of partner has more to do with his desire to keep his private life private. He is famously guarded when it comes to his personal life and loves keeping his romantic entanglements under wraps. While there is no denying that he has been incredibly open with his fans on social media, this doesn’t mean that the rumours circulating about him are untrue. He is not ashamed of his romances or the way he lives his life, but he does draw the line at public displays of affection. He has recently proven time and time again that he will only give interviews and make appearances at award shows when the subject of his next romantic project can be touched on. When speaking with Elle, he even went as far to say, “I’m not really comfortable being photographed kissing or holding hands with anyone… I think that’s kind of why I get hit on a lot, because people think there’s some kind of story. But there’s not really. I don’t like lying, and I don’t like pretending, so I’ll just keep my private life private.”
Still, despite all of this, it is entirely possible that a wedding day for the couple is right around the corner. After all, they have been dating for several years and seem to have built a life together in France. It is also worth noting that Vanessa Paradis has previously been married to her fellow Frenchmen, singer/songwriter Émilie Dequenne. This is the first marriage for both of them. Needless to say, there will be lots of eyes (and cameras) on the pair as they walk down the aisle on what will no doubt be a memorable occasion.
According to reports, the upcoming nuptials are expected to be an intimate and low-key affair with just close family and friends in attendance. A rep for the couple confirmed the wedding plans, but also stated that the exact date has not been set and that “no further information is available at this time.” Stay tuned for further developments.
