Early Life
Robert Thomas Pattinson was the third child and only boy born to Clare and Richard Pattinson on May 13, 1986, in London. By age 15, Pattinson had studied piano and guitar for many years, and his father coaxed him into joining a theater company to help him break away from his shyness, according to Celebrity Net Worth. It took, and he regularly appeared in plays.
Pattinson modeled from the ages of 12 to 16 and eventually landed a bit part in the film “Vanity Fair.”
He struck acting gold in 2005 when he was selected to join the Harry Potter universe as doomed triwizard Cedric Diggory. While this role got him noticed, it wasn’t until he was introduced to the world as the chivalrous vampire Edward Cullen in the film adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s “Twilight” in 2008 that he became a star.
Personal Life and Real Estate
Pattinson has never been married, but he has had some long-term relationships. He was in a high-profile romance with his former “Twilight” leading lady Kristen Stewart. They were together off and on from 2009 to 2013. He was with singer FKA Twigs from 2014 to 2017. He entered a relationship with model Suki Waterhouse in 2018. Us Weekly reported that they have broken up and gotten back together a few times, but when Pattinson appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in February, he implied the two were still a couple as he recounted Waterhouse’s reaction to “The Batman.”
After his split with Stewart, Pattinson purchased a home in the Hollywood Hills for $2.18 million, according to Home Bunch. As of 2020, he was living in a flat in London with Waterhouse, Esquire reported.
