Rumour: Pattinson confirms his relationship with Kristen

ROBERT PATTINSON has reportedly confirmed he is dating co-star KRISTEN STEWART, ending months of speculation.

The Brit has been romantically linked to Stewart ever since the pair starred in the first movie in the vampire franchise together in 2008.
The actors have constantly dodged questions about their love lives, but now Pattinson has allegedly announced he's dating the American star.
The pair both attended the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards in London on Sunday (21Feb10), where Stewart picked up the Orange Rising Star trophy.
Both Pattinson and Stewart kept their distance at the ceremony at the British capital's Royal Opera House, but were later spotted leaving the afterparty at Grosvenor House together.
And the actor has now admitted he is in a relationship with Stewart, but explains they have to stay apart for the sake of their fans.
He reportedly tells The Sun newspaper, "It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can't arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it's impossible. We are here together and it's a public event but it's not easy. We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention."

SORRY girls, but ROBERT PATTINSON has admitted for the first time that he and hisTwilight co-star KRISTEN STEWART are an item.
Art imitates life ... the couple in a scene from Eclipse

The mystery of their relationship status has been driving fans of the vampire saga loopy.
Brit actor Robert carried on with the secrecy at Sunday's Bafta bash - then admitted they were a couple at the post-do dinner.
The pair at first went to ludicrous lengths to avoid being seen together by devoted fans.
They arrived separately and did not sit together during the ceremony at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden.
But as soon as they were out of the glare of the public, they were all over each other.
According to Robert the cloak-and-dagger stuff is just to avoid attention.

He said: "It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes.
"We can't arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it's impossible. We are here together and it's a public event but it's not easy.
"We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention."


Kristen, who picked up the Orange Rising Star award, arrived at the dinner with six security guards.

Not even PRINCE WILLIAM had that much protection.
Once inside the afterparty Robert and Kristen - whose next Twilight movie, Eclipse, is out in July - couldn't get enough of each other.

They were snapped leaving the do, which was held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, at around midnight.
Robert headed to the gongs from shooting movie Bel Ami with UMA THURMAN.



He said: "A load of us came straight here. It feels like a work night out.
"The film is going well. I play a French journalist in 19th Century Paris.


"The problem is I have to leave for work again at 6.30am."
