Just a few weeks after welcoming a baby boy into the world, Kravitz has reportedly begun dating actor Robert Pattinson.
Actors Zac Efron and Taylor Lautner were also among the first to congratulate the actress on her engagement. Efron and Lautner have both been married before, while Pattinson has never been married.
According to E! News, Kravitz, 29, began dating the Twilight actor after he proposed to his girlfriend, Emily Brown, on Valentine’s Day.
A source tells the entertainment news site: “Zoë and Robert went on a date last night and everything seemed to be going perfectly. They were very much in love and looked very happy together.”
Kravitz’s rep told E! News on February 20: “There’s no truth to any of this and it’s ridiculous to even think about it.”
Pattinson broke the hearts of female fans when he revealed in an interview last year that he had fallen out of love with the women he dated after his first marriage ended in 2008. He told The Guardian: “I’ve been dating a lot of the same women; it’s getting boring. The only difference is that now I feel like I’m in love every time.”
Last October, Kravitz shared a passionate kiss with Pattinson on the cover of her book, My Truth. The actress co-wrote the memoir with author Trish Barden, and the couple’s relationship was featured prominently in the book.
The couple has spent a lot of time together in the public eye, and their celebrity blended into a perfect on-screen romance in the 2012 film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s novel, Deathly Hallows Part 1.
Pattinson had been publicly linked to a number of A-list actresses, including Reese Witherspoon, but it was Kravitz who he chose to spend the night with. Since then, they have been photographed together at a number of social events.
Pattinson broke the hearts of many when he dated English model and actress Lily Collins for several months in 2015. The couple were photographed holding hands outside a church during Christmas in 2015, but they called off their engagement after just over a year. Collins then moved to Montreal to study medicine.
Collins and Pattinson were again linked in January 2019 when it was reported that the actor had proposed to her friend, Suki Waterhouse, who turned him down.
A Royal Baby, A Wedding And A Funeral!
While Kravitz and Pattinson were dating, reports surfaced that the couple’s romance was featured in a highly-sought-after royal baby gift package. The Sun reported in December 2018 that the Duchess of Cambridge had surprised the crowds at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with a special gift for the couple’s newborn son. The paper claimed that Kate had purchased a $30,000 gold-rimmed gift set which included a gold-rimmed Louis Vuitton diaper bag, a capsule wardrobe, and a gold-rimmed breastplate.
The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were both present at the wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. However, there is no confirmation that Kate actually gave the couple the set of bags.
A Princess Grace-Inspired Outfit, A Stunning Engagement And A Dream Wedding!
While Kate was busy surprising the crowds at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, her sister, Princess Grace, was celebrating another big milestone: 70 years of marriage to Prince Christian of Denmark!
Christian is the son of Grace’s first husband, King George, who died in 1957, and her second husband, Prince Valdemar of Denmark. While Christian was away on a skiing holiday with their children, Grace dyed her hair blonde and shared a picture on Instagram of herself in a daring, princess Grace-inspired outfit. The photo quickly went viral, and social media users praised Grace for her courage and passion.
Wedding bells rang for Christian and Grace on April 23, as guests including Elton John, J.K. Rowling, and Katie Holmes looked on from the altar as the couple exchanged vows and rings. Christian said at the time that he was “overjoyed” to be marrying Grace, adding: “She is not only my best friend, but she is also the person who gave me the strength to be a better person… I love you, Grandma.”
One of Christian’s sons, Frederik, shares an emotional letter to his grandma, with the wedding photographer behind the scenes.
The couple began dating in 2010 and were married in a secret ceremony two years later. Frederik wrote to Grace before the wedding that he hoped she could “share in [his] happiness” as he got ready to marry her: “Today is a very important and happy day for me, for I am getting married to the woman I love most in the world. I know that you will be able to share in my happiness, and I hope that you will give me the strength to be a better man.”
Although Katie Holmes did not attend the wedding, she did send Christian a congratulatory card.
The First Major Relationship To Break News In 2022
In 2022, the romance that broke news was the one involving tennis champion and celebrity Anna Kournikova and American entrepreneur and investor Jeffrey Epstein. The pair sparked rumors in early 2022 after they were photographed together on a private boat in the middle of an ocean. A rep for Kournikova denied that the tennis star was dating the wealthy businessman, but the pair later admitted to being romantically linked.
The two were first linked when they were photographed together at a Halloween party in Moscow in October 2021. Since then, they have been spotted at numerous social gatherings, including a basketball game in October 2021, where Kournikova sported a diamond necklace reportedly worth $7.5 million, and a Vanity Fair party in September 2022, where they were both reportedly wearing $500,000 diamond necklaces. They also attended the 21st Annual Monaco Grand Prix in October 2022, where they were photographed holding hands.
Their relationship came to a head in early January 2023, when Kournikova opened up about her ex for the first time. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kournikova said of Epstein: “It’s not like I want to hurt his feelings or anything, but it is what it is. Unfortunately, it is what it is.”
In an interview with Variety, Epstein said: “All I can say is that we’re having a nice time together.”
The relationship reportedly culminated in a romantic vacation for Epstein and Kournikova in the summer of 2023. The pair were photographed vacationing in St. Barts with billionaire Richard Branson, where they were seen lying on a beach holding hands.
Afterwards, Kournikova took to Instagram to share a sweet series of self-portraits, while Epstein’s spokesperson released a statement saying: “They are simply enjoying [their] time together as friends.”
