This week, it feels like the olden days of Twihardom. I think it was all of those “sources” confirming Robert Pattinson’s engagement to FKA Twigs last week. It’s brought up all of the Twihard Feels, and People Magazine has been all over it. A few days ago, People even ran an “insider” story about how Kristen Stewart reacted to Sparkles & Twigs’ engagement. Basically, the source claims, Kristen “will survive” and she’s “doing fine.” But… but… what if she’s secretly pining for Sparkles?! What if she’s only realized now that she’s meant to be with Sparkles for all eternity?! ROBSTEN IS UNBROKEN!!!!
But Robsten is, in fact, broken. And Rob seems very happy with Twigs. And People’s sources say that Rob might be living out another dream really soon: fatherhood!
He’s already got some onscreen experience playing a dad in the final Twilight installment, but, spoiler alert: One of Robert Pattinson’s next real-life roles may be father, too. The actor recently proposed to indie singer FKA twigs, PEOPLE confirmed April 1, and it turns out his bride-to-be fancies starting a family.
“She really wants kids,” a source close to Pattinson says of fellow Brit twigs (née Tahliah Barnett) in the new issue of PEOPLE.
The couple began dating in September, and their romance escalated quickly: Pattinson traveled with the artist on her European tour in the fall, the pair were spotted getting cozy during Miami’s Art Basel fair in December, and a source told PEOPLE last month they were living together.
While the pair are eyeing late-summer nuptials (and a casual pub wedding if twigs has her way!), plans are “not definite,” the source says.
The “casual pub wedding” references a previous People story, where sources claimed that Rob’s parents would like the kids to do a nice church wedding, but Rob and Twigs would prefer something more “informal, like a pub wedding.” Sources also say that the plan at this moment is for a late summer wedding but those plans are “not definite.”
As for a Sparklebaby… or should I say a SparkleTwigBaby?… I think they would make beautiful babies. And Rob is 28 years old now. He’s old enough to enjoy it. The thing that really strikes me about Twigs and Sparkles’ relationship is how drama-free it’s been. It’s like they met, hit it off, and jumped into a committed, loving relationship very quickly… and that’s it. It doesn’t seem like they fight, they’re not breaking up every two seconds, they’re not airing their stuff on social media. It’s nice, isn’t it?

I think their kids would be sooo cute. I still remember Rob in HP…he was so pretty. He just got kinda odd looking as he got older. But FKA is really beautiful imo. And I LOVE her real name–“Tahliah” is a really beautiful name. Very unique. I think I’m gonna steal that one.
I think he was more odd-looking in his teens and now he looks more conventional, but quite manly and handsome.
That is a beautiful name. Wonder why she doesn’t use it?
Yeah..agreed…they’d be adorable (dem sparkle twig babies, lol) I recall Rob saying he wanted to be a young father years ago. I bet he wants to get a move on.
Also read the Kstew thread from yesterday…whatever source gave people that quote about her ‘surviving Rob’s engagement blah blah’ (if in fact they were from her camp) – that would show her to be the biggest hypocrite going. How are you gonna plead an allergy to fame and a desperate need for privacy in your ‘relationships,’ yet go to a rag the first chance you get and discuss HIS engagement that he hasn’t talked about yet?!
I’m with others who’ve said Robert was mature and responsible…he recognized she was a young girl who maybe didn’t know herself – i believe they had real affection for each other. He was head over heels, she was in serious like – and he basically catered to her every awkward sullen whim. As I recall it wasn’t so much him that was refusing to discuss his relationship with her – it was clear he wanted to shout it from the rooftops (that’s what got all the twihards shippers) it was stewart who was always hiding, running, trying to keep it under wraps. I don’t blame her…she was 18- 19 yrs old with the most wanted man in hollywood, and she’s realizing she’s not who people believe her to be. She’s a lesbian who doesn’t want to hurt someone she cares deeply for who’s been a part of her life since she was a teen.
What gets me is that’s the real reason behind her awkwardness and need for privacy – same reason Kevin spacey is the same way. They love acting more than anything and they don’t want the perception of who they are influencing casting decisions. In her case she also was realizing she wasn’t being her most honest self.
It’s a shame Rob was caught up in it…but that’s life and he handled it well. Which is why I still think how she treated him then and now is predictably (for her ) shoddy.
Also kick me in the head if you like…her new gf looks like Ruth buzzy…you’d think after Rpatz, she’d want am equivalent beauty…like Cara delivigne or something.
It’s not for me to get. I wish Rob happiness and her some kind of peace and maturity (stewart ) because she’s still quite the eyerolling azzhole. Lol
How does the gay part work with humping the married man. I am asking seriously, i have no problem buying she is gay, and just like Rpatz i think she seems a lot happier these days. But what i don’t get is the married man thing.
Hey leah
Hey Leah,
I think that was Stewart trying to experiment and see if she was truly lesbian – i think she felt safe with the director ahole who she knew was into her, they had grown close…she respected him and felt adult with him – so I think it was a way in which she could experience and subconsciously implode the relationship with Rob and the twihard shipping and to see if she really and truly wanted to be with girls.
I think she had only been with the one boy before Rob, the one she had at 14.
Rob kind of swept her off her feet…i think sanders was the last hetero test and it’s also how she destroyed the twi fantasy…which she couldn’t take any longer.
I don’t think she wanted it to go on any longer (Robsten) knowing she was a lesbian and stringing Rob along. I think she truly loved him and didn’t want to live dishonestly and ruin his life. Yet she also wasn’t ready to tell the world she was gay – so she opted for this fake femme Fatale home wrecker staged scenario to destroy Robsten and throw people off the scent of her true orientation.
I think once she was found out she told Rob what she had been dealing with, that she was gay…and I think he understood and decided not to destroy someone he cared about as a person. They got together when she was 18 he met her when she was 17. So young. She didn’t know herself. He was a grown up about her situation and what she was dealing with. He was mature and responsible unlike her.
She hasn’t come out so it’s a huge presumption to label her with your interpretation of her sexuality.
I think she is beautiful and seems really cool… but damn if her music isn’t f*cking atrocious.
Finally- someone I agree with!
Co-sign that. But I do enjoy seeing her around. And she’s a great dancer, and obviously a hard worker.
At last!!! I found you my fellow minded folk:)
Pub wedding, definetly my kind of thing. No high heels, comfy dresscode, fun beer, nice.
Congrats to them!
I got married in a pub, it was fantastic.
Oh, to be young and have it all to do over again…a casual pub wedding sounds DIVINE! Followed by a driving honeymoon around the English countryside and catching a few football matches here and there. Perfect! Maybe I’ll make that my third or fourth honeymoon one day soon.
People magazine needs to slow down, LOL. Will there be an article every day now about Rob and twigs? Twigs mentioned in some interview last year that she wants to be a mom someday, it’s not really newsworthy.
There was a time People Mag was the biggest celebrity central, gossipy, but legit. With all these recent articles they’re more like HollywoodLife or even that trash that is CelebDirtyLaundry.
Shouldn’t they wait for an Oscar nomination?
+1 Marcel curl
Ouch!
Wow, they travel fast!
Engagement, wedding, kids. . .
I don´t Think the nose ring will fit in Church. . .
This is england, we aren’t as conservative here, twigs will fit just fine in church if she wants too.
Eh, I live in a pretty conservative area (and by that I mean, you’re good as long as you’re straight and white, no matter if you do drugs–meth is very prevalent here), and I went to a wedding a few years ago–a Catholic one (complete with kneeling)–with the bride having matching chest, forearm, and feet tattoos.
In england?
Michigan.
Love your comment….because, sadly, it’s true
Tattoos, or should I say youthful bad decisions, are very popular nowadays.
Yesterday LaineyGossip said she imagines this wedding like Hipster Cirque du Soleil. Twigs & Sparkles should go for it.
Hipster cirque du soleil wedding hahaha!!
I’m meh on this couple too. No excitement. I think I broke my romance. Where’s Joanie and Chachi when you need them?
Mr Taterhead and I renewed our vows in a pub. It was fun and very sweet.
Or we got drunk and made out in the hallway by the restrooms.
Same dif.
Aw. They’re going to have beautiful children. All the best to them.
They do seem low key, supportive and just sweet together. It’s nice that Rob has that kind of no drama relationship. Wishing them the best
she’s been pretty adamant that she’d go for them babies quickly once she settled down … I just want her to keep making bomb music either way
This couple is moving wayyyy too fast. Robert gives off the vibe that he’s desperate to feel needed and FKA gives off the vibe that she wants him so badly she’d do anything to keep him. It’s like Ryan Gosling and Eva.
Not at all. I am not a big fan of him but as a couple they are so cute mainly because they both and especially him seems to fallen genuinely in love. I don’t see any similarities fka is 27 and eva is 40. With eva and ryan it was probably rushed because she was at that age.
The age thing has nothing to do with. It’s desperation that just cries out in the relationship.
Ok i don’t see it. I see two people who seem very happy together.
I see no desperation. There’s no time limit on falling in love orknowing when someone is right for someone. You’re not an authority Top. You sound a bit bitter.
Tabloids are desperate for hits on their pages.
I really don’t understand what she’s getting out of this relationship. He just seems so dopey and vanilla while she’s enigmatic and eccentric. Perhaps that’s more or less her stage presence and image rather than who she really is. She does have the most beautiful features.
Haven’t they only been dating for six months? If this is all true, then that’s insanely quick to make such a commitment. He seems a lot more desperate to settle down and have kids than she does, I guess cause he’s getting old?
Six months or six years for a commitment like marriage does not change the result: there are couple who have been engaged forever who’s marriage doesn’t last two years, and couple who were never engaged who last til the day they die.
Exactly, Eleanor!
Exactly, Eleanor!
I disagree, it’s all well and good to fall in love and be romantic but when you make a lifetime commitment, which marriage should be, you should make a thoughtful decision not fall into it and hope it works out.
LOLOL. Since when a 28-year-old man is considered “getting old” and expected to be “desperate to settle down and have kids”? You gave me a good laugh.
She/he must have mistaken him for someone like George Clooney, lol
There is a lot of speculation that he was seeing her a while before they showed up in public together. I don’t think Rob would put up with all the media intrusion if he wasn’t serious about someone. I think that once they figured out that the relationship seemed serious and worthwhile, then they didn’t try to keep in out of the public eye anymore. Some of her fansites are claiming evidence that they met at the end of 2013 and started seeing each other in April 2014.
And Rob is not dopey and vanilla, to me that is the lingering Edward stigma. Rob always talked about how he never fit into that role of Hollywood heart throb, that isn’t where his heart is. He is quirky and artistic and definitely doesn’t like mainstream choices. Vanilla people aren’t usually friends with people like Death Grips and Marilyn Manson. If you look at his choices since Twilight ended, you can see he definitely leans toward the eccentric.
I agree with the timeline and how long they have known each other.
She always looks like she’s about to sneeze in pictures with that dumb nose ring.
They seem very calm and happy with each other. Any photos I saw with Rob and Kristen had chemistry, but always seemed so furtive. I don’t get this constant nonsense of rushing to the altar or to have kids. There’s no desperation involved.
This desperation talk is nonsense. Neither of them is in the position to be desperate and clingy. In fact, they’re cool rich people living a privileged life. It’s really nice that they choose to be in a loving committed relationship as a way of living instead of partying hard and changing partners. It’s mind-boggling that some of you really think it’s weird that two people approaching 30 seek stable relationship.
One of the fun aspects of Rob’s earliest I terviews was his interaction with his parents and sibs. They seemed to genuinely enjoy each other’s company. It was sweet to see. He’s almost 29- not that 29 is ancient- but no surprise that he’s thinking about a stable relationship. She seems like a grounded, mature person. If they decide to get hitched, go for it! Any word if she’s attending the Met Ball?
FKA Twigs is gorgeous, stylish, cool, and the lousiest singer I have heard in and awhile. I have heard a bunch of her songs and feel just nothing. Ho hum.
I wonder if she’s already pregnant.
SHe looks like a Woodchuck with boogers.
I don’t like the nose ring but that’s just me. In other news, I hope they are very happy together, they make a cute couple.
