Yahoo Lifestyle Robert Pattinson just opened up about the night he met Suki Waterhouse
Celeb couples come in all forms - from the super open, to those who prefer to remain more private. Falling into the latter group: actors Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse, who've always kept things under wraps.
Finally, after four years of dating, the pair made their red carpet debut in 2023, and have since gone on to welcome their first child together.
But where did it all begin? (And why have we hardly seen anything from these two before?!) Here's a look back at their relationship timeline in full, starting with the most recent update...
December 2024 - Rob opens up about the first time he met Suki
Speaking to The New York Times, the actor revealed how he first met Suki waterhouse - at a house party in 2018. "She was sitting opposite me," Rob shared, explaining that they were playing a card game with Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, Al Pacino and other actors. "Suki and I kept making each other laugh, to the point where someone told us we weren’t taking the game seriously enough. That was a very, very sweet moment."
Absolutely ADORABLE.
And here's where it all began...
July 2018 - Robert and Suki are first linked
Robert and Suki were linked for the first time back in July 2018, when they were pictured kissing after watching Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again together (dream date, TBH).
Photos published by E! News were accompanied by an eyewitness revealing, "Along the way, they were very close and cuddled and kissed many times." The source added, "Robert was very affectionate to her and had his arm around her the whole way and Suki reciprocated by holding his hand and kissing it."
December 2018 to January 2019 - The pair are pictured together on various occasions
More pics surface of these two hanging out, this time leaving a Christmas party together in photos published by the Daily Mail.
Then, in January, there's more of the same, with the pair pictured holding hands in London together.
April 2019 - Robert kind of talks about his relationship
By this point, we're used to these two remaining pretty low key - so it's no surprise that Robert isn't keen to discuss his relationship in a Sunday Times interview.
Asked about Suki, Robert answered, “Do I have to?” He went on:
"If you let people in, it devalues what love is. If a stranger on the street asked you about your relationship, you’d think it extremely rude. If you put up a wall it ends up better. I can’t understand how someone can walk down the street holding hands, and it’s the same as when I do it and a hundred people are taking your photo. The line between when you’re performing and when you’re not will eventually get washed away and you’ll go completely mad."
June 2019 - Robert and Suki apparently double date with Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn
One thing we love more than celebrity couples is celeb couple crossovers. Exhibit A: Robert and Suki going on a double date with none other than Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn, apparently.
The two couples reportedly hung out at the San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood, with a source telling Us Weekly at the time that they "were laughing and talking" all night. Cute! Err, can we be a fly on the wall please?
17 January 2020 - The couple make a rare appearance together at Paris Fashion Week
While these two have been papped together on various occasions, January 2020 saw them making a rare public appearance together at Paris Fashion Week. The pair sat down at the Dior Perfume Dinner, pictured talking with Condé Nast Board Chairman Jonathan Newhouse.
Engagement rumours also surfaced at the time, thanks to the fact that Suki was seen wearing a ring on her left-hand ring finger, though nothing has been confirmed.
See how they look at each other!

8 February 2022 - Robert casually refers to Suki as his "girlfriend"
Sharing a story about getting his boiler fixed, Robert calls Suki his "girlfriend", telling GQ, "The guy came around the other day, and he just randomly started talking about what a DC fan he is.
"And I’m sitting there facing the other direction, and my girlfriend just keeps continuing the conversation with him. And I’m looking at her like: Shut the fuck up! Why are you doing this to me? She was very entertaining. Just talking to an obsessive fan."
Who else loves picturing these two out in the normal world?
17 February 2022 - Robert gushes about Suki on TV
Promoting his 2022 Batman film, Robert shared the sweetest anecdote about Suki during his Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance.
He told host Jimmy, "It was really [Suki's] reaction that kind of changed the entire thing because I'm pretty sure she's not normally into watching superhero movies.
"And just seeing that it was capturing her attention the entire time and then she held my hand and touched it [to her face] and I could feel a little tear. And I was like, 'No way!'"
These two ❤️.

She continues, "I’m always incredibly excited when I see his name pop up [on my phone] or even a text, and I think he feels the same about me. We’ve always got so much to say, and I find him hilarious."
