Last week, America was concentrating on the Kavanaugh-Ford hearing and all of that. That was the big story, and I was paying attention too. But I also needed some dumb gossip in my life, which is why I became strangely obsessed with the new pairing of Shia LaBeouf and FKA Twigs. Twigs confirmed that they’re happening, and Twigs and Shia have already been photographed together outside of her London home. What made this pairing even weirder is the fact that their exes, Robert Pattinson and Mia Goth, are actually quite friendly and they’re currently promoting a movie together. Mia and Sparkles were at the San Sebastian Film Festival last week to promote High Life, and there were questions about how they would react to their exes now being involved. From E!:
A source told E! News that Pattinson, 32, and Goth, 24, think it’s comical and are not surprised that their exes got together and even saw it coming. LaBeouf and FKA twigs have not commented on the status of their relationship.
The source said that Pattinson and Goth, who have been promoting their new movie, High Life, are themselves just friends. The source said that the actor has a “don’t care” attitude about the situation between LaBeouf and FKA twigs and has been a huge support system for Goth, who is hurt and upset but is trying to move on.
Meanwhile, Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse, who started dating casually several months ago, are still seeing each other, the source said, adding that their relationship is going strong.
So… Mia is “hurt and upset” and yet she and Rob are laughing about it? Mixed messaging, Mia. Especially since I’m not entirely sure Mia and Shia were ever legally married? Shia’s rep claimed that they had filed for divorce, which means that according to Shia, he flat-out left his wife for Twigs. I don’t think I would be chuckling about that with Rob either. But I do believe Rob and Mia are friendly, and he’s probably trying to cheer her up. Who knows.

You can be hurt and upset about something and still laugh about it. In fact it’s probably quite a healthy way of dealing with it.
Oh my god I just has the most horrific experience with a guy I was dating (he f—ked someone else in our tent on a “romantic weekend” camping and I heard everything) and I was so upset but I had to laugh about it because it was so ridiculous and the best way to move on.
Absolutely, I recently had a 5 year relationship end due to major drug abuse and betrayal that totally blindsided me, if I didn’t laugh about how crazy it all was I’d probably go insane. Doesn’t mean I’m not hurt or worried about my ex… but sometimes when something is too awful you have to laugh at it.
I think that it is entirely plausible that she could be hurt and still joking about it. I’ve done that before, you laugh to keep from crying but it doesn’t really mitigate the pain.
And if it’s really Rob trying to be supportive for her, I could totally see him using humor to do. Rob has always been quick to find the humor in everything. I think it’s the only way he stayed sane in the crazy Twilight years, by using humor as a coping technique.
Is Shia doing ok at the moment? Cause I wouldn’t wish his mess on anyone.
The only worry I’d have about Shia being okay is in the case of someone nearby being physically or verbally assaulted and/or threatened by him.
That’s it.
Rob is awesome and I love how he always stays classy and never talks shit about his exes. Even the break ups never seem friendly. I’m sure he’s going to help Mia see the humor in all this situation. I never had negative opinions about FKA Twigs but I do wonder what happened in that relationship. And the fact that Rob doesn’t find this surprising is making me very curious. I know many people said Twigs was only using him for fame and was somewhat toxic, but idk. I never got a bad feeling about her. I found her interesting and Rob looked happy with her.
I heard about LeBouef and Twigs, but it didn’t immediately occur to me that the last I heard he had just married Mia. Has there been anything else gossip-wise between that and this?
they saw it coming? does that mean rob and mia introduced them to each other and they saw ‘sparks’ between them? if so that’s shady. this reminds me of the inspiration for Justin timberlakes song ‘cry me a river.’ his good friend was engaged to a woman and living with her. their mutual friend needed a place to crash for a bit and stayed in their guest house-he eventually moved out then his fiancé broke up with justins friend and ended up with the guy who crashed at their house for a bit. shady shady. between that and Justin’s cry me a river song clearly calling out Britney-Justin and his bros seem to hold grudges when the women they’re with cheat. upset, feeling betrayed sure-but I get the sense it’s an ego bruising ownership over the women they’re with issue more than anything
I read «they saw it coming” as “Shia hooked up with every one of his female co-stars and twigs is no exception”… the way they put it down in words doesn’t read nice to me tbh
So Fka Twigs is officially a homewrecker?
No. She just has bad taste in men. And Shia – the one who took the vows – should quit being an aggressive heel.
Something about the Rob’s statement above tells me his break-up with twigs was not drama-free and amicable like we thought it was… I understand Mia being upset about whole situation, but Sparkles words are rather offensive – I mean “comical” and “he saw it coming?”, what does that even mean? He broke it off and already got involved with another girl, why not just say something neutral like he’s happy for her and wishes her well?
Rob and twigs broke up more than a year ago (never seen together after Cannes in May 2017), and he didn’t start showing up with Suki until August 2018. I don’t see this as a problematic timeline.
They “saw it coming” could be as innocuous as seeing that both Shia and twigs have the same artistic sensibilities and would connect while working together (and as someone already said, Shia has a habit of hooking up with costars). I don’t know what the Mia/Shia situation was, but Rob and twigs were long broken up by then. I don’t see an insult here in Rob’s half of the thing, just a weird coincidence. He isn’t making a statement to the press, it’s just an unnamed source. It would be very weird if he said something as formal as you suggest.
I keep seeing posts that Shia is artistic and is a good match to twigs, I wonder what artistic endeavors he’s famous for tho… I remember him showing up on the red carpet of a film festival with a box on his head and him recording himself watching his own movies for hours and hours… I wouldn’t call those gigs artistic in the slightest, just some pretentious guy craving for attention… so I guess, twigs and Shia are a good match because they’re both pretentious try-hards?
Well, Twigs can create good art which I hope she develops further; while I side-eye Shia’s efforts and remain unconvinced.
I don’t think Shia is any good for anyone if he gets his anger and addiction issues managed. So I hope he doesn’t mess up her art; and that they can avoid an abusive dynamic.
Mia, I hope is out of that messy “marriage” with a guy who stated he nearly killed her; and Rob, while he did seem happy when with Twigs, never struck me as a particularly insightful boyfriend with anyone, so whatever. Despite his claims, Twigs probably was a rebound when she really shouldn’t have been. Shia, however, seems like a dangerous downgrade for Twigs especially considering she said her confidence was knocked by her fibroid surgery. By all reports he tends to aggressively go after his female costars (he freaked Mia Wasikowska on the Lawless set so much she legit begged her agent to get her out of the film; he also apparently knocked out Tom Hardy on that same set) so maybe that’s why no one’s surprised. Wasn’t he verging on creepy with Megan Fox back in the day?
@FF I didn’t doubt twigs art, I used to be a fan actually, but she hasn’t realeased anything in ages and seems to be focused on her personal life these days, her involvement with Shia upsets me tremendously, I follow her Instagram and after all the talk against racism and abusive relationships she ends up with a guy who’s the epitome of those, I feel like I don’t recognize her anymore.
@ Brittany
Can’t say I disagree, tbh. I’m trying not to judge anyone too hard anymore (unless they’re aggressive/persistent ***holes) because you never know if some of the stuff they’re doing is in reaction to trauma, low self-esteem/confidence, money woes, addiction issues, or pigheadedness. But I can’t help but think this is a huge error of judgement on her part, and hope she wises up but fast.
does she bleach her eyebrows?
