Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, the leads of the very popular Twilight saga, dated in real life. They first met on the set of Twilight (2008), the first film of The Twilight Saga franchise. In 2018 Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the film, said in an interview, "It was funny because they were both pretty shy and kind of a little bit nervous and awkward." The director conducted the audition and at the end of it, Catherine could see both of them vibing with each other, and also added, "It was pretty positive. After the end of their audition, I could tell that there was a lot of electricity and chemistry." Shortly after the release of the film in 2008, dating rumors began to float around but neither of them confirmed it at that time.


In 2009, during an award show, Robert and Kristen teased their fans with an almost kiss. After their little stunt on the stage, rumors of them dating became stronger. In an interview with Nylon Kristen said, "Rob and I are good friends. We went through a lot together, so we feel very close. If we go out in public, every little detail is scrutinized, like the way I stand next to him. And it's like, I know the guy really f***ing well. It's only natural that we're sort of leaning on each other because we're put in the most psychotic situations." They kept their relationship low but in 2009 after the premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon they both were spotted kissing by the fans. After this, they didn’t reveal their relationship publicly and just joked about it here and there.


In 2012, their relationship hit a rough patch after Kristen was photographed kissing the director of Snow White and the Huntsman. Kristen gave a statement and apologized for her behavior publicly she said, "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected," she also added, "This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry." After their fallout they reconnected again in September of 2012, they were again seen together on many red carpets and events but eventually broke up in 2013. In an interview with British Esquire in 2014, Robert said, “s*** happens, you know?", "It's just young people ... it's normal! And honestly, who gives a s***?"
