FKA Twigs

Sorry folks, Robert Pattinson is officially off the market – well, sort of.

During an interview with a US radio station, the British actor revealed he is “kind of” engaged to singer, FKA Twigs.

The couple have dated for the past three years, however they have always been keen to keep their relationship out of the public eye.

Having previously been in a very public relationship with Twilight co-star, Kristen Stewart, that actor said that while he tries to keep his life private, there are times when he'd like to share more with his fans.

"It's one of the most frustrating things in the world," he explained.

"Because you want to be able to do that [be more open], but it's literally like, to kind of get stuck in this position you have to make this decision whether you want to let the crazy people in."

Robert and Twigs, real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett, were first pictured together back in 2014 and rumours of their engagement have been rampant ever since.

The 31-year-old described Twigs as “amazing” and “super talented” and said they made the decision to stay out of the spotlight because of a “crack troupe of crazies”.

So, while the couple may not want their romance splashed across the front pages, congratulations are still in order – well, kind of.

The supposedly happily engaged, and generally quiet private couple of Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs are actually just like everyone else it seems.

The Two Weeks singer was spotted at an airport in London, getting ready to board a fight to Sweden, having a spat with her beau.

According to Page Six FKA, real name Tahliah Barnett,  was feeling quite put out when she discovered Rob wasn’t giving her enough attention.

In case you were wondering, no Robert wasn’t actually at the airport. The couple were using FaceTime when their conversation got a bit terse.

Although, according to those on the scene we shouldn’t be expecting any heartbreak for the pair anytime soon.

“She was sweetly berating him that he hadn’t listened to something she told him a few days ago. She wanted to see him tomorrow. She called him ‘baby.’” 

Well, now we know that even uber-heartthrob Ron will be called out by his fiancé from time to time. See celebrities really are just like the rest of us!

The pair, who announced their engagement in April of this year generally stay quiet when it comes to their personal lives.

However, Rob has recently opened up to People magazine about his desire to start a family. He said that while he still doesn’t know when exactly it will happen, he definitely does want to be a father.

“I will have a child who is totally cool and confident,” he said. “He or she will probably look at me every day and think, ‘Why is this guy such a funny, quirky oddball?’”

The couple have reportedly pushed their wedding date because FKA "can't decide what [kind of] wedding she'd like to have,” reports People.

His previous relationship with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart was very much conducted under the spotlight – so understandably Robert Pattinson, 29, is seriously guarded when it comes to his private life now.

Indeed, his proposal of marriage to new love FKA Twigs was only confirmed in April – when rapper T Pain leaked the news inadvertently. 

So – unlikely as it seems – when the musician shared a snap of a stunning white, beaded and lace dress on her Instagram account last night, fan theories went into overdrive – with some even suggesting that the stars' wedding was taking place today.

Others reckoned the Big Day had already taken place, with FKA Twigs – real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett – posting the photo to confirm the happy news.

"Omg! Wedding dress!?" said one. "Could she be trying on her wedding dress?" suggested another. "Omg they married?" asked a third.

However, it transpires the 27-year-old English singer was simply… getting her hair cut.

Say what?!

Yes, while showing off the dress – which does look remarkably bridal – she wrote: "Inches and scissors never hurt anybody," and on closer inspection, she is indeed sporting shorter tresses.

Earlier this month, Robert and his mum were seen at one of FKA Twigs's gigs in Manchester.

The couple has so far refused to even hint as to when their nuptials might take place – meaning fans will have to continue speculating for a while yet.

And whenever the happy couple does indeed tie the knot, we can be assured that fashionista Twigs's dress (if we ever get to see it!) is going to be spectacular.

It's been almost six months since rumours of a romance between Kristen Stewart and her former assistant Alicia Cargile first kicked off, and now that the news has finally been confirmed as true, the actress' fans are not happy.

The story hit headlines this weekend when Kristen's mum Jules addressed the news in an interview with The Mirror, saying she fully approved of the relationship and was a big fan of Alicia.

"I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her. What’s not to accept? She’s a lovely girl," Jules told the paper. When asked if Kristen had worried about revealing her new relationship to her mum, Jules said the 25-year-old had nothing to be concerned about.

"What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy," Jules said. "She’s my daughter, I’m just her mom so she knows I would accept her choices."

While the quotes from Jules are wholly positive, many of Kristen's fans took to Twitter over the weekend to express their annoyance at how the news had been reported by the media both over the last couple of days and prior to that.

Many were angry that the relationship was even considered as news, and others criticised the press for still referring to Alicia as Kristen's "gal pal" despite the fact that the pair were obviously a couple.

Kristen and Alicia first became close when Alicia began working as Kristin's assistant back in 2014, and they have been almost inseparable in recent months since Kristin decided to take some time off from acting.

Although Kristen's relationship and subsequent break-up with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson was widely publicised, the former couple have had "zero contact" in recent months, according to a source. Robert has since moved on with his rumoured fiancée FKA Twigs.

We're glad to see both stars have found happiness again.

Dating one of the most famous and lusted-after men on the face of the planet cannot be easy, and one person who can attest to this is FKA Twigs.

The singer, who is reportedly engaged to Robert Pattinson, opened up on the downsides of dating the Twilight hunk in a new interview.

Getting very real with The New York Times, the 27-year-old star – real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett – said that the media scrutiny and racism she has encountered has really pushed her to her limits at times.

On the subject of paparazzi, she said: “It’s really hard. I can’t begin to explain how awful it is. It makes you want to smash your face into the mirror. There’s no amount of songs I can sing or dances I can dance that will prove to them I’m not a monkey.”

Alarmingly, the singer added that she has also faced a "relentless" tide of racial abuse.

However, in spite of the challenges she has encountered, Twigs is clearly blissfully in love. She told the magazine: “I didn’t see my life going this way at all. It’s worth it. I’m so happy.”

We can’t imagine how hard it must be to have someone criticise you for being with the person you love. Block those haters out, Twigs!

This gives us yet ANOTHER reason to want to marry R-Patz. 

FKA Twigs is rumoured to be engaged to Robert Pattinson and was showing off her engagement ring at the Met Gala this week.

Jeweller Mark Keeney told RadarOnline: "FKA Twigs' ring looks to be a custom style, possibly vintage. It features a pear-shaped diamond, which looks to be between one and two carats, set in a French-set halo."

"Two round bezel-set diamonds are set vertically on the finger, for an art-deco inspired look that flatters the length and suits her avant-garde sense of fashion," he said.

He then continued: "The setting is most likely platinum, the favoured metal for art deco jewellery. Depending on the quality of the stones, this engagement ring could be worth between $40k-$100k."

Wow, we bet Kristen Stewart is slightly bitter… it's okay Kristen, we would be too. 

The pair could be set to get married soon as they apparently both want a low-key ceremony in London. He popped the question after six months of dating.

The Twilight fandom went into meltdown earlier this week with the news that Robert Pattinson had gotten engaged to his musician girlfriend FKA Twigs.

The pair have been dating since last autumn, and just last week rapper T-Pain seemed to spill the news that Robert had indeed popped the question. 

Speaking about FKA during an interview with Vulture, T-Pain said: "She's engaged now… Yeah, to ol' Patty."

Hours later, he denied the news was true, taking to his personal Twitter account to say, "Added a little #AprilFools to my interview with @vulture today! #CheckMeOut." To make things as clear as possible and really cover his tracks, he even added a picture of a wedding and engagement ring.

However with multiple anonymous sources now confirming to both E! and People that the news is in fact true, it seems R-Patz really is off the market. Hold us.

Neither Robert or FKA's reps have confirmed the news, but it does seem likely that they are engaged given that they exchanged "promise rings" back in December, with Robert telling friends at the time that he wanted to marry his new lady.

As for Robert's ex Kristen Stewart, we doubt she'll be happy that she had to find out the news through T-Pain's slip-up. According to Hollywood Life, Robert did have plans to break the news to her in person but he didn't get there in time.

"Rob had planned to tell Kristen when he got back to the states, where he is now,” an insider reportedly said. “He wanted to meet up with her in LA and tell her the news about his engagement first hand, but as we all know that never happened because Faheem [T-Pain] blabbed. He wasn’t happy that Kristen had to find out in such an impersonal way.”

We're sure she'll survive!

It looks like a wedding is on the cards for Robert Pattinson and his girlfriend FKA Twigs!

Although there has been no official announcement yet, the actor is reportedly set to propose very soon, and has even given Twigs a promise ring as a sign he's serious about her.

According to a source close to Robert, he presented his girlfriend with the ring at a dinner back in December, where he made his feelings known to her and a few select friends.

The source says an official engagement could happen as soon as this summer, when Twigs wraps up with her current European tour, which ends in June.

Despite only being together since the middle of last year, the couple are already smitten. "There is a special connection between the two of them," a source told E! News. "Music is a big part of the relationship, because it means to much to them. They clicked instantly and they literally have been inseparable."

Before meeting Twigs, Robert was in a highly publicised long-term relationship with his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, which ended in scandal when Kristen cheated on him with director Rupert Sanders.

However he seems to have put the past behind him, and in a recent interview he said it was all part of being a young person. "S**t happens, you know?" he told Esquire magazine. "It's just young people…it's normal! And honestly, who gives a s**t? The hardest part was talking about it afterwards."

We're so glad to see he has found happiness again!

Robert Pattison has a new lady in his life – and she’s not going anywhere easily!

FKA Twigs, a highly successful British musician, appeared on USA Today and told how her new relationship has meant she has endured lots of online abuse: “I really enjoy the fun of putting something out and people liking it or hating it or talking about it, but vacuous attention, it feels disgusting. It’s like a hangover. It’s weird. I know that’s not really because of me or what Im doing [but] the positivity that I get from [my relationship] makes the challenging aspects…very worth it.”

Aww, how sweet!

Twigs says she was feeling the wrath of “14-year-old kids that should be in bed” on social media, which was evident from a recent tweet she put out, saying: “I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week … Racism is unacceptable in the real world and it’s unacceptable online.”

The musician has been dating the Twilight star for the past few months, but it certainly sounds like some of his fans haven’t been taking the news of their relationship all that well…

Let's hope things calm down for the couple and they can just enjoy their new relationship!

Oh dear, it looks like there is no escaping the ghost of Robert Pattinson’s ex for new girlfriend FKA Twigs.

The singer has prompted rumours that she may not be Kristen’s biggest fan, after the actress was drawn up at a recent gig.

According to reports, a cheeky fan in the crowd shouted, “F*** Kristen Stewart” out loud – which apparently amused the singer no end.

Indeed, members of the crowd said that Twigs couldn’t help but smirk after hearing the diss on her new man’s famous ex.

Meow – the claws are out!

Robert and Twigs, real name Tahliah Debrett Barrnett, were first spotted together back in September, with a source telling Us Weekly that the pair had enjoyed a string of dates.

It hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing for the couple since news of their romance broke however, with Tahliah reportedly finding herself on the receiving end of cruel Twitter trolling.

Let’s hope all this drama dies down and everyone can get along!
