Is R-Patz set to give Suki a Christmas sparkler?
IT HAS been 18 months since they were first photographed kissing after a cinema date. Now could Suki Waterhouse be unwrapping something ring-shaped and sparkly on Christmas Day from boyfriend Robert Pattinson?
Despite being notoriously private about their relationship – they have rarely been photographed together since that first date – the couple are taking their relationship to the next level by spending the festive season at model Suki’s family home in West London.
I’m told Robert – known to his fans as R-Patz – has lined up a trip to Iceland as a gift for his 27-year-old girlfriend. But even more exciting is the talk among their friends that the Twilight actor, 33, may ask Suki’s father Norman and mother Elizabeth for their daughter’s hand in marriage.
‘Suki and Robert are a great influence on each other, which is why he is spending Christmas with the Waterhouses,’ says a family friend.
‘Suki encourages him to be more relaxed and Robert keeps her grounded when she’s feeling anxious. As they’re spending Christmas together, it’s the perfect opportunity for him to ask for Suki’s hand. Lots of people, including Norman, are hoping that he pops the question.’
The stars were first linked in July 2018 when they were spotted leaving a showing of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again at the trendy Electric Cinema in Notting Hill. They then headed to nearby Soho House for late-night drinks.
They’ve been known to go on double dates with pals Taylor Swift and actor Joe Alwyn, and keep in touch with each other via FaceTime when their schedules keep them apart.
