Listen, I know it's been a minute since Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse welcomed their first child together (and over a year since they got engaged). But still, I think the time has come for a handy journey through their relationship timeline, starting at the very beginning.
July 30, 2018
Robert and Suki are spotted for the first time, and the PDA is On. Another. Level. By which I mean they’re seen kissing after a showing of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (wow, hot) in some pics published by E! News.
“Along the way, they were very close and cuddled and kissed many times,” an eyewitness says at the time. “Robert was very affectionate to her and had his arm around her the whole way and Suki reciprocated by holding his hand and kissing it.”
Cute, but FYI: This same month, another source downplays the relationship to E! News, saying Suki and Robert are simply “casually dating.”
August 25, 2018
The Daily Mail out of nowhere, randomly reports that Robert and Suki have broken up. Which, nope! But before long, Lainey Gossip disputes the claim, pointing out that on top of being seen together at a Miguel show in L.A., Robert and Suki both attended TIFF at the same time:

December 9, 2018

January 28, 2019
At this point, Robert and Suki are getting papped a ton and are seen enjoying a stroll through London in photos published by People.
April 28, 2019
Robert is interviewed by the Sunday Times and makes it clear that he will not be talking about Suki:
“Do I have to [talk about her]? If you let people in, it devalues what love is. If a stranger on the street asked you about your relationship, you’d think it extremely rude. If you put up a wall, it ends up better...I can’t understand how someone can walk down the street holding hands, and it’s the same as when I do it and a hundred people are taking your photo. The line between when you’re performing and when you’re not will eventually get washed away and you’ll go completely mad.”
May 14, 2019
Robert and Suki get papped while celebrating his birthday in photos published by People. In other words, they are Still! Going! Strong!

The pair is spotted on a double date with, uhm, Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn (?!?!?!) at San Vicente Bungalows in Hollywood, where a source tells Us Weekly they “were laughing and talking” all night and “were at a table, just the four of them.” Oh, and apparently, “Rob and Taylor were across from each other,” in case you were curious about the seating arrangement for whatever reason.
January 17, 2020

April 15, 2021
Fans are convinced there’s a picture of Robert and Suki kissing in the background of this solo Instagram she posts:
July 30, 2021
In a since-deleted tweet, Suki criticizes the Gossip Girl reboot for using this line: “He’s R-Patz and you’re Suki Nobody.”
“Another day to be reminded that women can also be the patriarchy. Seeing critiques of the patriarchy and sexism, then I get name-checked as somebody’s nobody girlfriend,” she says at the time. “Make it make sense.”
February 8, 2022
Robert once again refers to Suki as his girlfriend in a GQ interview, saying she couldn’t stop telling a man who had come to fix the boiler about his Batman role. “I’m sitting there facing the other direction, and my girlfriend just keeps continuing the conversation with him,” he recalls. “And I’m looking at her like, ‘Shut the fuck up. Why are you doing this to me?’ She was very entertaining. Just talking to an obsessive fan.”
He also talks about Suki’s reaction to the movie during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, saying, “It was really her reaction that kind of changed the entire thing because I’m pretty sure she’s not normally into watching superhero movies. And just seeing that it was capturing her attention the entire time and then she held my hand and touched it [to her face] and I could feel a little tear. And I was like, ‘No way!’”
December 3, 2022
After more than four years of coupledom, Robert and Suki (*fiiiiinally*) make their red carpet debut at the Dior Men Fall 2023 show in Giza, Egypt, where they are the epitome of Fashion Goals™️ (she wears a mauve dress, he wears a silver-toned jacket over a v chill turtleneck):
In addition to making their ’ship red carpet official, Robert and Suki pose for several loved-up pics at the event, packing on levels of truly 😍😍😍-inducing PDA that honestly kinda makes it worth the four-year wait. Srsly, just look:
February 19, 2023
Suki makes a rare comment about Robert during an interview with The Times, saying, “I’m shocked that I’m so happy with someone for nearly five years. I had two days off the other day and it was, like, no question I’m going back to see him. Then he’ll come out for a couple of days.”
She also says, “Rob definitely isn’t getting advice from me about acting, but of course I’ll try and get him to help me with an audition before he falls asleep on the sofa.” Oh, and elsewhere in the interview, the model *also* muses on how they both grew up in Southwest London and ended up together after having such similar journeys in the entertainment industry: “We always say that I never ever would have thought I’d go out with a boy from Barnes and he didn’t think he’d go out with a girl from Chiswick.” S’cute!

May 29, 2024
Suki reveals the hilarious story her and Robert's bb girl loves getting read.
"Who would've thought baby's favorite bedtime story would be the air fryer recipe book that was thrown at me at a North Carolina show. Really makes you think," the Daisy Jones and the Six star pens in a post on X.
Naturally, the fan responsible for throwing said book on stage responded the way any of us would. Ahem: "YOU'RE SO WELCOME."
This isn't the first time the musician's fans have seen the must-read, however. Back in October 2023, Suki posted this *chef's kiss* Insta (peep the last slide):
June 21, 2024
While at the Dior Homme Menswear spring/summer 2025 show in Paris, Robert reveals that having a baby "makes you feel very old and very young."
"I'm amazed by how quick their personality comes, at just 3 months," he adds before gushing, "I can kinda see who she is already. It's great."
July 2, 2024
During an interview with British Vogue for the outlet's August cover, Suki reveals that she and Robert met six years ago at a game night in L.A and notes that the activity is "one of the things people do here to congregate." "I was sure that I’d met him a long time ago, but he didn’t think that we had," she begins before detailing the events of the night.
On the docket was Werewolf ("think the The Traitors, and if you haven’t seen that, then wink murder"). "It was very, very intense...There were lots of ‘big’ characters, real heavy hitters...Al Pacino was there. Javier [Bardem] and Penélope [Cruz] were there…and, you know, everyone was really acting," she adds.
Except for Suki and Rob, obvi, who found themselves drawn to each other that night. 🥺❤️ "I think we both sort of have the same slight uncomfortable-ness," the model reveals before adding that she and her now-fiancé "starting giggling at the absurdity of the whole thing."
The two didn't end up exchanging numbers at the get-together, however, they *did* run into each other nearly a year later. And the rest is history, people!
Oh, and during another part of the interview, Suki confesses that she and Rob fully planned having their bb: "No, we really planned it...One day we looked at each other and said, 'Well, this is as ready as we’re going to be.'" "I was like, ‘What can make more chaos?'" she hilariously adds.
September 12, 2024
Suki spills the beans on what Rob is like as a dad during a Today show appearance. His secret skill: diaper changing. "I would say I change more diapers, but diaper changing—he really excels at it and enjoys it," she says. "He thinks it's fun."
And when asked how she's enjoying motherhood, Suki adds, "It's just that love, just completely and utterly besotted. I didn't know that it would be this good."
September 18, 2024
While chatting with SiriusXM Hits host Ben Harlum, Suki reveals how she and her fiancée prepared to welcome their baby daughter. "I wasn't really leaving the house very much by the end," she says. "You know, I didn't really want to be out and about. There was something I found really wonderful about that limitation and just like preparing for this complete unknown. I had no idea what to expect."
Side note: Don't ask Suki for parenting book recs, because she "did not read any bloody books." According to her, Reddit is where she gets most of her parenting advice.
October 5, 2024
Rob and Suki attend the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic—making their first public appearance as a couple since the birth of their daughter—and ofc, they look very, very chic.
December 2, 2024
As part of Today's "8 Before 8" video series, Suki opens up about her favorite part of parenting with Rob, saying they have a "silly" daily tradition.
"We have a routine of putting her in the swimming pool and jumping in and out of the pool," she shares. "That's just always the most fun. End of the day, 5 p.m., we all get in the pool and be silly. It's amazing."
December 4, 2024
Rob gives his own take on the night he and Suki met—where, apparently, he and Suki didn't take Werewolf as seriously as the other celeb guests would have liked. "She was sitting opposite me," Rob says of Suki during an interview with The New York Times before confirming that Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, and Al Pacino were indeed all present.
He continues, "Suki and I kept making each other laugh, to the point where someone told us we weren't taking the game seriously enough. That was a very, very sweet moment."
When asked about his baby girl later in the interview, Rob notes that "she's just a little potato who poos," which feels v accurate, IMO.
January 6, 2025
A tipster writes in to gossip site DeuxMoi, claiming Rob and Suki tied the knot in the Caribbean on New Year's Eve.
"Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse got married at NYE at the Caribbean resort I work at!!!" the source claims. "They were so cute and sweet, their baby was there in a gorgeous little bridesmaids dress."
The insider adds that "their family was there as well" and it was "such a cute wedding"—plus, Rob and Suki were reportedly "so nice." Ofc, nothing has been confirmed yet, so you'll have to take this with a grain of salt.
Aaaaaand that brings us up to date! But before we go, we have one final message for Robert and Suki:
