After over a year of speculation, one of Hollywood’s worst kept secrets has finally been revealed, as Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson confirms that he is dating his co-star Kristen Stewart.
Star of the Twilight film franchise, Pattinson, 23, who has previously been intensely sercretive about his private life, confessed he and his co-star Stewart, 19, were an item at a dinner held after the BAFTA Awards on Sunday.
The pair had arrived at the awards separately and didn’t sit together during the ceremony at the Royal Opera House, even though Stewart won the Orange Rising Star award.
Pattinson revealed to The Sun: “It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy.
“This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it’s impossible. We are here together and it’s a public event but it’s not easy. We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention.”
Stewart arrived at the BAFTA Awards after-party with six bodyguards, outnumbering even young royal Prince William.
The pair play sweethearts in the Twilight films – adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling novels. Pattinson plays the vampire Edward Cullen and Stewart plays his high school girlfriend, Bella Swan. The next film in the series, Eclipse, is due for release in July.
