Robert Pattinson & FKA Twigs Engaged! What About Kristen Stewart?
Wedding bells are about to ring soon for Robert Pattinson and FKA twigs (real name Tahliah Barnett).
The news came from musician T-Pain during an interview with Vulture, who at the time was talking about how FKA twigs wouldn't be able to contribute songs for his upcoming album because "she's engaged now" to Pattinson.
"Yeah, to ol' Patty [Robert Pattinson]," T-Pain said in the Vulture interview published Wednesday. "I don't know if she wanted anybody to know that ..." Two sources have also told People about the couple's engagement after just six months of dating.
Since the Vulture interview, T-Pain retracted his statement by declaring on Twitter that it was only an April Fools' joke. People, however, still stands with its report confirming the pair's engagement. It should be noted that neither of the two's representatives commented on the news.
FKA twigs or Formerly Known As twigs was born to a Jamaican father and Spanish mother, Latina wrote. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter was first spotted with the "Twilight" actor in September and was seen "getting cozy" with Pattinson, 28, in Miami during Art Basel in December, People noted. He also accompanied his current flame on her European tour in October.
Us Weekly added that the pair "bonded over music" during the first month of their involvement and that FKA twigs thought he was "unbelievably handsome."
Earlier in March, an insider told People that the couple is both wearing promise rings to prove their dedication to each other.
"He wants to marry her," the source revealed, describing Pattinson as "much more calm and happy than before," People quoted. "They are inseparable when they are together. They live at his house."
Despite staying mum and private about his personal life, the news outlet noted that Pattinson is "smitten" with FKA twigs. The movie star previously dated "Twilight" co-star Kristen Stewart for three years. The former couple split up in 2013.
Kristen Not Taking Rob's Engagement Well?
Meanwhile, Gossip site Hollywood Life has been claiming that Pattinson and FKA twigs' engagement is not sitting well with Stewart, who, according to the news outlet, is "devastated" and "heartbroken" over the announcement.
"Kristen was not told - he didn't reach out to her and tell her. That ship has sailed. He doesn't talk to her - they have two completely different lives. She is not a part of his day at all. FKA is his life now," Hollywood Life's source revealed.
The news outlet's insider also added that Stewart, 24, "didn't want to believe" the news was true and that she "was seriously hoping that it was just some sort of April Fool's joke."
