You would be mistaken in thinking that Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse were no longer together. In years gone by, the very private pair have rarely been seen on the red carpet together (only arriving separately at events) and are instead occasionally photographed walking through their local neighbourhood. Pattinson is not one to partake in press interviews either but in a rarefied editorial for GQhe made several sweet comments about the British IT girl.

The actor will front Batman in the highly-anticipated film, The Batman, next month. According to Pattinson, a man arrived at the apartment to repair the boiler one day before discussing “what a DC fan he is” with Waterhouse.

Pattinson recalled, “And I’m sitting there facing the other direction, and my girlfriend just keeps continuing the conversation with him.” Waterhouse continued to extend the conversation to reportedly tease her famous beau. “And I’m looking at her like: Shut the f–k up,” he continued. “Why are you doing this to me? She was very entertaining. Just talking to an obsessive fan.”

The interview for the article was originally meant to take place at London Zoo. Waterhouse as the wise woman she is gave some advice to Pattinson. “I was talking to my girlfriend last night and she was, like, ‘You know, people don’t really like zoos.'”

I guess that means their date nights definitely don’t include animals in captivity.

Pattinson has discussed why they keep their relationship so private in a past interview for the Sunday Times. In April 2019, he said, “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.”

The couple first sparked romance rumours back in July 2018 when they were spotted kissing on the streets of London. In October 2020, the loved-up pair were reportedly discussing engagement.

“Rob and Suki have definitely discussed getting engaged but are in no rush,” a source told E! News. “Suki is not pressuring him and they are both very committed to each other.”

Now we wait for THE ring!
