Robert Pattinson drew criticism from fans after joking about Aries as a relationship red flag during the Rome premiere of his new film The Drama, alongside co-star Zendaya.
The Premiere Moment
At the event, Pattinson fielded a question on relationship red flags. ‘Like Zodiac sign? Aries,’ he responded with mock seriousness, before laughing and clarifying, ‘I’m joking. I just picked a random one!’
Fan Reactions Ignite
Social media users quickly connected the comment to his ex-girlfriend Kristen Stewart, a 35-year-old Aries known in astrology for bold, passionate traits. Comments flooded in, including ‘Kris is Aries,’ ‘100% shading Kristen Stewart,’ and ‘You can see him panicking realizing what he’d done.’ Others questioned, ‘Randomly? Really?’
Twilight Romance and Breakup
Pattinson, 39, and Stewart starred as lovers in the Twilight franchise, sparking a real-life romance that lasted four years until their 2013 split. The relationship hit turmoil in July 2012 after Stewart’s affair with director Rupert Sanders.
Stewart issued a public apology, stating, ‘This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.’
In a 2021 New Yorker interview, Stewart reflected on their chemistry: ‘It was so clear who worked. I was literally just, like…,’ she said, mimicking a swoon. She praised his ‘intellectual approach that was combined with “I don’t give a f**k about this, but I’m going to make this sing.” And I was, like, “Ugh, same.” Whatever, we were young and stupid.’
Current Lives and Relationships
Stewart came out as gay on Saturday Night Live in 2017. After relationships with Alicia Cargile, Soko, St. Vincent, Stella Maxwell, and Sara Dinkin, she married screenwriter Dylan Meyer, 38, in April 2025 at Casita Del Campo in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake.
Pattinson has dated Suki Waterhouse, 34, since 2018. The couple welcomed a daughter in March 2024. During the premiere, chatting with Extra about secrets with Zendaya—who is rumored to have wed Tom Holland—Pattinson hinted at his own marriage, glancing at her and saying, ‘It’s the same one that you have.’
Sources indicate both Pattinson and Waterhouse value marriage highly.
