The last time I paid attention to Sparkles Girlfriend Watch, he was casually dating model Imogen Kerr, although that gossip was not very widely circulated, probably because the die-hard Robstens still believe that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are still dating on the down-low. It’s over, Robstens. Rob dated Imogen Kerr and now he has a new girlfriend. She’s a singer who goes by FKA Twigs (“FKA” is “formerly known as”). Real name: Tahliah Debrett Barnett. Physically, she gives me vintage Lisa Bonet vibes.
New couple alert! Robert Pattinson is dating English singer FKA Twigs, sources confirm to Us Weekly. The Twilight hunk has been seeing the talked-about musician, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, for weeks now, one insider tells Us.
“Tahliah thinks he is unbelievably handsome,” the source adds of the 26-year-old London-based artist, adding that the new duo met through mutual friends.
Tahliah has been generating buzz as of late, having just released her first album, LP1, earlier this year. Critics have acknowledged the emerging artist who also serves as her own music producer and video director.
Another source close to Kristen Stewart’s ex tells Us, “It’s early [on] but they’re having fun.”
Pattinson and Tahliah, who bonded over their love for music, were spotted leaving Bowery Hotel eatery Gemma last week.Pattinson, who composes his own music and has sung on Twilight tracks, was previously linked to Dylan Penn and model Imogen Kerr following his split from Stewart.
You can see FKA Twigs’ Instagram here – she’s an artsy girl and she’s not just posting selfie after selfie. I think it’s interesting that Rob would go from a model to a singer with her own profile. There’s actually been some random gossip mutterings about Rob and FKA Twigs for a few weeks now, there just hasn’t been any solid confirmation that I’ve seen. I wonder how long this has been happening? I wonder if Sparkles is finally done with girls who look like versions of Kristen Stewart?
Here’s one of FKA Twigs’ music videos. Her music is… eh. Okay. Hey, at least it’s not Katy Perry.

FKA TWIGS?!??!??
OMFG I am Gonna Die!! Sis You are better than this limp dick pasty walking neurosis!! You are too cool and interesting for this!!
*goes to watch Papi Pacify video*
She can do so much better lol, but at least this will make her more well known, even if they’re just friends.
Haha
Yessss. I wasn’t a fan of Water Me but papi pacify is my ish. As is hide. And video girl. And pendulum. ..
I like Hide.
Yep she can do better.My favorite is How’s That.She’s awesome.
No need to be racist. He is not “pasty”. He was born with white skin.
You need to look up the definition of racism. It doesn’t mean what you (clearly) think it means.
I like Pendulum. But Papi Pacify- I missed the song because I was so mad about the video with dude sticking his fingers in her mouth and then my neurosis about what might be on his hands took over and I spiraled out.
She looks like a goddess in Two Weeks. Its crazy how beautiful she is in it. I didn’t realize she directed her own videos too.

Can’t believe you described FKA Twigs’ music as ‘OK.’ She is AMAZING, probably one of the most talented young artists in the industry today.
Sill better than Kristen.
If the rumours are true that Kristen is not to fond of the non-pale people then she must really be getting in a twist over this
Say What ??
@Mike
“Kristen is not fond of the non-pale people”
??????
Where did this come from? I’ve never heard anything about Kristen being a racist. One of her oldest, closest friends is Hispanic. Why are you even bringing Kristen up in a story about Rob and FKA Twigs? Move on. Rob and Kristen definitely have. The only ones who still keep bringing up her name with Rob’s are crazy shippers and equally crazy haters.
I’ve developed a bit of a crush on him in recent weeks so boooooooooooo.
Interesting, never would have put these two together but I am also glad he’s moved away from girls who are really just Kristen 2.0.
Yay! Honestly I don’t really care about Sparkles, I’m just stoked. This means FKA Twigs is going to become even more popular. She’s super talented, with a great voice, a Bjork-like musicality, and some really interesting videos.
Um no. While I do believe ✨Sparkles✨ is dating someone steadily (and I’m not talking about GrumpyCat), I don’t believe for a minute he’s hip enough for FKA Twigs. FKA Twigs is so incredibly talented, unique.
My thoughts exactly. I love him but this doesn’t sound real. But neither does Chris Martin and J Law so what do I know?
Love her new album, don’t care about him. But damn that album is great.
I’m shocked. I always thought his type was more basic.
Laughing at the shade in this comment
This may seem random, but I can definitely believe that they’re at least friends. Ever since the whole friendship with Death Grips thing, I’ve realized there’s a lot we don’t know about the guy. It’s totally possible that he’s interesting enough to capture the attention of someone as quirky and talented as Twigs.
He’s not gritty, but I think a lot of people forget that he’s a musician himself. He plays, composes and sometimes sings, and his compositions are decent.
Do you guys hear that? It’s the sound of heart palpitations of KStew fans everywhere.
I kid. But these two as a couple would be interesting. I hope something comes of it.
Those idiots are already sending her racist tweets.
Hmm…London-based. I wonder what that means for Rob’s dislike of London.
I don’t think Rob dislikes London, I think he just didn’t feel connected to it anymore. This may be motivation for him to move back, if it goes further than dating.
Poor girl, the robstens will troll her IG and crucify her.
I like the idea of Rob and FKA
Lots of variations on “She’s so hideous” – this girl did absolutely nothing except walk down the street next to Rob and now she is getting insulted by a bunch of random people. I can’t imagine how any girl (or Rob for that matter) deals with all that ugliness. Staying off the Internet when you know people are talking about you must be very difficult.
I swear I’ve been calling her ‘frack’ Twigs instead of formerly known as…don’t ask me why I’m dumb sometimes idk.
As for the story, I can believe it. I can also believe that they just may be friends. There always seemed to be more to Sparkles than the goofball in the interviews.
Anyone who follows Rob wouldn’t be too surprised about this. He’s creative, musically inclined and quirky. He hangs a lot with musicians and producers and has tons of friends you may be wouldn’t think he’d hang with. I think these two would make an interesting couple. If they’re seen out together again, I might believe there’s something to it. I also don’t get the hate for Rob in the comments. Not at all.
Agree!
People who hear about this and don’t know anything about Rob would probably be surprised – it seems like an odd pairing. But if you know about his tastes, it makes sense. Who knows if it’s true though, may simply be a friendship blown up by tabloid rumors. Whichever, hope it’s good!
What?!?!
I adore her, and I love her music!!!
WTF!!!
And this affects that how?
Yeah really? Is she suddenly less interesting because who she dates? That’s so ridiculous.
You seem supremely mature.
I think I’m into it.
She doesn’t give me a Lisa Bonet vibe at all but she’s still quite interesting looking. They’d make an intriguing couple.
Zoe Kravitz maybe?
You do realize Lisa Bonet is Zoe Kravitz’s mom right?
To me she has that Lisa Bonet vibe too.
I am just happy he doesn’t have a set type. If this is true he seems to be open to all types and personalities. Good for him.
Yes, I am quite aware. That doesn’t mean they are interchangeable. I thought of the daughter before the mother though, hence my comment.
I Totally get a Lisa Bonet vibe on her, that’s who I thought it was until I looked closely.
he is sooooooooooooooooooo FINE.
Never heard of this girl before and I think her stage name is stupid . If their actually dating good for them and if they are not at least she is getting attention now.
Learn how to spell before you toss around the word “stupid”.
What?
@Jess
I think the Queen means that There, Their and They’re (contraction of They are ) are three different things . The use of the possessive pronoun “their ” in your post is incorrect
Nb: Don’t kill the messenger not the grammar police but since you still seemed puzzled thought I would clarify
I’m not so familiar with her music but she just seems so cool. I mean that in the most serious way too – she just emulates this like, cool aura? Get it girl.
I just had a listen to what she does. Music wise I find it pretty…anemic and could never compare it with Bjork, although I do think she’ll have nice audience like Bat for Lashes and similar artist. She is cool, I agree, and a talented dancer definitely – I’m interested to see where she’s headed.
Was she his date for his friend’s recent wedding? I saw the pap pics of Rob, Twigs and his British friends walking down the street in NYC days before the wedding. Was wondering if he took her as his guest/+1 since she’s his new girlfriend and she’s in NYC too. I remember how US Weekly also claimed in the past that Rob was romantically involved with Riley Keough and Dylan Penn even though both ladies publicly denied it. So I’m reluctant to believe this claim going by their past bs stories. Whether they’re just friends, FWB or new romance…she seems like a cool person.
I’m glad Rob has moved away from a Kristen clone. I guess he wanted to get away from the Twilight/Robsten insanity and the out-there fans that come with it. I’m surprised some Rob-sessed, Krisbian, and Robsten fans haven’t given up the romantic ghost after all this time. That fantasy had a Mini-Cooper shaped wrecking ball taken to it; and you can’t expect a man to get over being publicly cuckolded. I hope this woman will be spared being dragged on social media, but I doubt it.
Checked Twigs fans… her fans (and she has a lot) are kinda into it. She’s definitely like a Lisa Bonet or Zoe Kravitz chick and that definitely is up Robs alley. There’s no proof of him dating Imogen, none. They exited a restaurant with Robs best friend Jamie and Imogen is Dakota’s bf… that was it. We never saw them again, just a dinner with friends does not a date make. Same with Dylan. We saw them once at a club, nope not a date. This isn’t the 50s. Rob & Twig, I dont think theyre dating either. Maybe hanging out. Rags all too quick to label hanging out as dating or hooking up. How about just – becoming friends.
Her wide-eyed look reminds me a little of Mariacarla Bosco; I dig it. She’s a fantastic dancer, too. And I do like that music video. I don’t know if I’m rooting for them as a couple necessarily, but I’m kind of into her.
I think he’s a good fit with someone from the music world. I doubt if this girl will be scared off by Internet idiots if she’s really interested.
She’s an AMAZING dancer. I love her.
PPL let me just explain, robsten , krisbians are not robsessed- I belong to robsessed, we are robert pattinson fans only!I;m speaking for myself and some others from twitter, who will support this, franlky i hope this is true!I have no idea how much you ppl know abt rob, beside being and actor he is the face f #Dior Homme, now until now i have only listened to one of fka twiggs song, only because i’m studying for my BA! to be honest i never saw! rob as sparkles, if you ever saw twilight it was twice in five movies he sparkle, and ill never bitch about twilight because it made him quite rich. I have been seeing all the racist comments, geez it’s 2014, i like two weeks,, she is a very good singer, and question,, why is rob still in NYC? some thing or someone is keeping him here, but most of rob fans hope we see the last of miss stewart with him, although it seems she has fond a new love, she sure looks happy!FKAtwiggs all the best to your career.
She’s pretty and artistic. I like the coupling ,they seem very sweet together. It looks like a real relationship IMO, but I also thought he and Kristen were cute together until she cheated.
I actually think she’s similar type to Kristen, in several ways.
Yes she’s ethnically different but I think she’s still similar to Kristen in a way, brunette, petite, wide eyed , attractive, artistic, quirky. That may be his type, petite ,Artistic, somewhat quirky , attractive, brunettes.
These two look very sweet together and Rob looks smitten. Good to see Rob dating again and yes I believe it. I saw just a few photos of them walking hand in hand together and they looked more of a real couple than George Clooney and fiancée.
The negative comments about her, remind me of some fans getting upset about Ryan gosling dating Eva Mendez. Not sure why some get Soooo bothered when supposed hot attractive white in demand male actor goes with someone from a different ethnic background. It’s not a big deal. They look lovely together and Rob looks happy. Imo
Best of luck to them.
I dont give two figs about RP but THANK YOU for introducing me to this artist because she is amazing – really! Thank you!
Here’s a link that shows photos of them hanging out…
