Did Robert Pattinson break up with Kristen Stewart right before the BD premiere?


These photos are from the London premiere

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart looked solid and very much together during the promotional tour for Breaking Dawn. In fact they happily posed together, smiled and looked at each other more than they have during any other premiere or promotional event for Twilight. Robert even joked that the officiator during their onscreen wedding was a real priest who kept using their real names and that they might be accidentally married. Tabloid stories had Rob smitten with Kristen and hoping she would marry him someday, and that had a ring of truth to it. As Kaiser has mentioned, it’s easy to imagine their dynamic like that: Rob is gaga for Kristen and she’s pretty blase about the whole relationship. Only according to Mike Walker in the National Enquirer, Robert broke up with Kristen right before the big Breaking Dawn LA premiere.

Reports My Twilight Spy: “Just two days after the couple was inducted into Hollywood’s legendary Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Robert – who’d been having second thoughts about their relationship – hit Kristen with the news that he’s ending it. They kept on smiling at the Los Angeles premiere, but Robert was an emotional wreck – and so was Kristen, who never saw the breakup coming. Explaining his reasoning, Rob told Kristen he adores her, but feels that their romance blossomed only because they’d been thrown together as on-screen lovers for nearly four years. Rob felt it was time to explore other relationships and move on.”

Even though Kristen’s devastated, the source added, she knows they’ve got to put on happy faces to promote “Breaking Dawn” – and the sequel next year.

I’m not really buying this, particularly since these two are said to have hung out at the after party for the LA premiere, but it could have happened. Maybe it explains why Kristen was somewhat uncomfortable looking during the LA premiere and was smiling during the London premiere – she’d come to terms with the breakup and was relieved. She’s always been so shy about showing affection toward Robert, but looks more comfortable and buddy-buddy with Taylor. If they broke up and the pressure was off, that could explain it. It’s hard to tell, though. If this really did happen they deserve credit for posing together at two of the premieres and acting like nothing was wrong.

Meanwhile Hollywood Life has some new quotes and a video of Robert being interviewed by German outlet Viva. They ask him about Twilight vs. True Blood and other vampire franchises with more teeth, to use an apt pun. Robert uses the tired Coke and Pepsi metaphor to explain it, saying that Twilight is like Coke and Pepsi was a copy. He said:

It’s like that Coke versus Pepsi thing, and how Coke just said ‘There’s a reason everyone compares themselves to us.’ ‘Twilight’ was the original and everybody’s trying to copy it. They’re all just trying to jump aboard the ‘Twilight’ train!

True Blood star Stephen Moyer previously called Pattinson’s characterThe diet Coke of Vampires” so who’s copying now? Also, the Southern Vampire Mysteries series, on which True Blood is based, were around way before Twilight and have quite a few similar plot points. Some have accused Twilight author Stephanie Meyer of lifting elements from that earlier series, particularly the whole clairvoyance issue between the protagonist and the love interest vampire. In The Southern Vampire Mysteries, first out in 2001, the lead Sookie Stackhouse is a clairvoyant who is relieved that she can’t read her boyfriend vampire’s thoughts. In Twilight, out in 2005, the vampire boyfriend is relieved that he can’t read the female lead’s thoughts. So I think that comparing Twilight to Diet Coke is more apt, while True Blood is Jack Daniels.

Update: As miagirl points out, Kristen and Robert were out and about in London over the weekend. They went to a show together and were even photographed sort-of embracing. So if they did break up it didn’t last.

These photos are from the London premiere on 11/16, when these two had already supposedly broken up. There are also a couple of cute photos of Robert and Taylor Lautner promoting Breaking Dawn in Berlin on 11/18. Credit: WENN.com

    This showmance will last til the last film is released. How else to keep this godawful franchise in the news?

    • Anna says:

      You beat me to it. I agree 100%.

      • Cheyenne says:

        Co-sign. Hopefully, if the Mayans were right, the world will end next December before they can unload the final crapfest on us.

    • aquarius64 says:

      I agree. The trio has 25 million reasons (plus a cut of the box office) to keep this going. Lautner kept quiet about his break up with Lily Collins for 3 months before it was announced on Abduction’s opening night. So it would not be that difficult to believe. As for the near PDA’s outside after the premiere: they know cameras are on them so they have to keep up appearances. They are actors, afterall.

  2. Artisan says:

    I think she always has that uncomfortable look on her face. It’s either “I’ve got gas” or “I wish I was home, stuffing my face with Lindt Lindor chocolates”.

  3. Brandi says:

    I don’t believe it. These two will probably marry.

  4. mia girl says:

    Sweet harmony of the vampire universe!
    It all makes sense now… I like both True Blood and Twilight AND Jack and Diet Coke is one of my drinks. Thank you Celebitchy!

    BTW, there are lots of pictures Stewart and Pattinson out and about and staying together in London over the past week or so… doesn’t seem like they’ve broken up.

  5. emma says:

    LOL. Those two will definitely not break up before BD II is out. If their ultra tight relationship bubble can exist when their movie careers go in different directions then I’m completely sure that they’ll end up marrying. It’s just whether or not the relationship can survive being outside of Twilight and when they’re just two normal actors trying to forge a career. It becomes a long distance relationship unless they work really hard at it and everyone knows long distance relationships are extremely difficult.

  6. Celebitchy says:

    @miagirl – I’ll add that, thanks!

    -edit- I forgot to use the reply feature, lol!

  7. Ann says:

    Laughing – The National Enquirer is not the best of sources, fyi. There have been pictures on a number of websites in the past week of Pattinson and Stewart coming and going from an apartment they appear to be sharing in London, on a number of different days. Looks like it’s still on.

  8. Cindy says:

    Twilight was the original and everyone’s trying to copy it?????? Um, vampire stories have been around for centuries, and the whole vampire-human love story has been done to death – recent examples being Lost Boys, Buffy, Underworld . . .

  9. ShanKat says:

    Nothing they ever do will be enough to convince me that this guy isn’t a homa-seck-shul. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    She looks like she’s having a super time.

  10. bluhare says:

    Um . . . did Lautner pee his pants? There’s a suspicous spot right by the heart he’s holding.

  11. Jane says:

    Lol, this “article”. Keeping it classy.

  12. Iggles says:

    Still dont think these two are a real couple.. I think she had more chemistry with Dakota Fanning.. (i.e., The Runaways)

  13. Manuela says:

    im pretty sure it was one night sex story. or all was arranged. dont like both as actors and dont believe in their relationship.
    last movie is awful

  14. abby says:

    this article is such a joke,of course they havent broke up,there are pics of them together in london and even pics of them arriving and leaving the same house together which means they are sharing a residence too.duh.

  15. T.C. says:

    Robert Pattinson is famous for saying the stupidest things and getting a pass. That British accent is the only thing that keeps people from calling him an airhead. For some reason Kristen Stewart gets more flack when she says stupid things. Everyone knows that the Sookie Stackhouse vampire series was out way before twilight was ever “invented”. Twilight even copied things straight from that series so please Robert just keep the mouth shout sweetie and smile for the cameras. Thanx.

    • geekychic says:

      Finally!!!Thank you, thank you, thank you, i felt so stupid saying that post after post when these two are mentioned (re the Pattinson vs Stewart thing)…finally i’m not alone!! :))))

    • Nire says:

      Yeah, and not only that, but True Blood the tv series started airing before the first Twilight movie even came out.

  16. mary simon says:

    Nobody is going to break up before the premier of the last movie – regardless of how things are really going. Even Nicki Reed’s remarks that none of them hang out as friends kind of soured the mood – the fans want to believe they are all close and that Rob and Kristin are in love.

    TBS – I think they are still togethor – there is too much excitement still going on to let it all go – yet.

  17. Blarghhhh says:

    The Vampire Diaries, which has a very similar story-line, was also out way before (like, at least 15 years) before Twilight.

  18. Ann says:

    RE: the Twilight versus other vampire movies comment – you do realize he was joking, right? If you saw the interview, he was laughing his head off the whole time. If you’ve seen him in inteviews he is constantly cracking jokes or goofing around, and this was no exception. The problem is when people report the comments again as if he was serious.

    • Carolyn says:

      hehe this happens a lot in Rob’s interviews…sometimes the British sense of humour is too subtle – US media outlets do print it as serious quotes.

  19. CTgirl says:

    Summit won’t allow them to break up until the Monday after the first weekend of BDII. There are box office records to attempt and merchandizing bucks to be had 😉

    Summit must be petrified that the whole thing will end with a whimper.

  20. geekychic says:

    yeah, totally…that’s why he was photographed coming to her flat, with her, in london this weekend.
    this is getting kinda old, you guys.

    • aquarius64 says:

      How do you know they shared a bed? He could have crashed on the couch for all you know.

      • Cheyenne says:

        Or he could have said good night at the door, turned around, left, and gone to spend the night with his real girlfriend.

        😆

        (I can’t resist upsetting the Twihards.)

  21. Peach says:

    Why is everyone so damn cynical? Leave the kids alone, they are just kids.

    • doctor digital says:

      I know she likes the other guy and the boyfriend knows it, it’s love. But she is young and doing well in a difficult situation. I feel sorry for the boyfriend and i think he should end it because her heart is not his.

  22. Maria says:

    Robert Patterson is HOT!!! and Kristen Stewart and him are sooooo cute toghther!! Taylor LAUTNER IS UGLY AND A
    HORRIBEL ACTPR!!
    I LOVE YOU ROBERT!!

  23. riya says:

    i think they broke up….probably….kristen is dating with chord overstreet…the glee actor…

  24. nks397 says:

    There is no way this is true. They are to into each other to break up and these are only rumors. For all we know, they might be the next celeb couple to get married.

  25. kirbyxx says:

    i heard the other day of a friend they have broken up but i am not to sure can enyone tel me if they have broken up or not? thanks x

  26. cat says:

    People that leave nasty comments are the ones who are jealous their relationship isn’t as strong as theirs. I believe these two can make any relationship work out. No body is perfect, but working at it to keep it strong is well worth it.

  27. Sammy says:

    If you noticed Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens ‘dated’ until the last High School Musical Movie then broke up. And Will Smith and Jada-Pinkett ‘lived’ in the same house but slept in different rooms for years to keep up appearances. This ‘romance’ could or could not be real, most people thought the above two were. We’ll just have to have to wait and see..

  28. 10_rosysha says:
