The Sunday Times asks Pattinson in an interview about Waterhouse, which he responds to by asking, “do I actually have to [talk about her]?” Then he goes into more detail about why he’s so private about his personal life:
“When you let people in, it devalues what love is. If a stranger on the road asked you about your relationship, you’d think it extremely rude. When you put up a wall it finally ends up higher. I am unable to understand how someone can walk down the road holding hands, and it’s similar to once I do it and 100 individuals are taking your photo. The road between once you’re performing and once you’re not will eventually get washed away and you will go completely mad.”
Nonetheless, he did tell the outlet that breakups with Stewart and FKA Twigs didn’t disillusion him to romance with a star comparable to Waterhouse. “They were pretty long relationships, not like three months.”

So far as the press is anxious, heâs R-Patz and also youâre Suki No person.â
In a now-deleted series of tweets, Waterhouse responded with the next: âOne other day to be reminded that girls may also be the patriarchy. Seeing critiques of patriarchy and sexism, then I get name-checked as anyoneâs âno personâ girlfriend,â per Glamour.
Some fans compared Waterhouseâs response to Taylor Swiftâs tweet about Netflixâs Ginny & Georgiaâs joke about her.
âHey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back. How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse shit as FuNnY,â she wrote. âAlso, @netflix after Miss Americana this outfit doesnât look cute on you Joyful Womenâs History Month I assume.â

To GQ, he spoke about her impact on his decision-makingâand the way she trolled him by talking with a repairman at their place about DC Comics.
Pattinson said Waterhouse was the rationale why he modified the placement for his GQ interview from the London Zoo to Holland Park. âI used to be talking to my girlfriend last night and he or she was, like, â, people donât really like zoos.âŠââ he said. âIâd been excited about a metaphorical thing. But then I used to be considering thatâs very flawed, a tragic bear walking in circles. I just canât help it. Iâll do it for each single element, every decision, in my life. What’s the worst-case scenario for this decision?â
And with the repairman for his or her place’s boiler, âThe guy got here around the opposite day, and he just randomly began talking about what a DC [Comics] fan he’s. And Iâm sitting there facing the opposite direction, and my girlfriend just keeps continuing the conversation with him. And Iâm her like: Shut the fuck up!â He laughed. âWhy are you doing this to me? She was very entertaining. Just talking to an obsessive fan.â
Pattinson later talked on Jimmy Kimmel Live! about Waterhouse’s emotional response watching The Batman, and the way it made him more fearful of its release. âIt was really her response that form of modified the whole thing because I’m pretty sure she’s not normally into watching superhero movies,â he said, via Entertainment Tonight. âAnd just seeing that it was capturing her attention the whole time after which she held my hand and touched it [to her face] and I could feel somewhat tear. And I used to be like, âNo way!ââ
