Suki Waterhouse on Robert Pattinson: ‘shocked I’m so happy with someone for 5 years’

Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson have been together for almost five years now. I know next to nothing about the pairing other than there’s only a five-year age difference, they’re both in the industry and British. From a gossip perspective that’s a good thing. It generally means they keep to themselves and have little drama. They didn’t make their red carpet debut until 2022, three and a half years after they were first reported dating. Now, after a successful NYE’s party, Suki is ready to discuss their relationship publicly. She told The Times she can’t believe she’s been so happy with someone for half a decade. And then she went on to describe how giddy Robert makes her and I’ll admit, it was pretty sweet.

Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson have been dating for five years — but they’ve kept their romance extremely private.

In a candid new interview, Suki just opened up about her relationship with Robert as well as the “colossal heartbreak” she went through in her 20s.

Although she didn’t specify who caused the major heartbreak, fans are speculating she was referring to Bradley Cooper, whom she dated from age 20 to 22.

“I was kind of depressed for a while,” she told the Times. “It stuck around for a long time. I think it was the breakup and also just being in my 20s and in the fucking trenches.”

Thankfully, Suki says she’s “utterly healed” from the heartbreak now and can’t believe how well things have worked with Robert.

“I’m shocked that I’m so happy with someone for nearly five years,” Suki shared, noting that they make sure to not go for too long apart.

She added, “I had two days off the other day, and it was like, no question, I’m going back to see him. Then, he’ll come out for a couple of days.”

Suki admitted she even still gets excited when Robert texts or calls her.“I’m always incredibly excited when I see his name pop up [on my phone] or even a text, and I think he feels the same about me,” Suki said.

She continued, “We’ve always got so much to say, and I find him hilarious.”

I’d forgotten about Suki and Bradley Cooper. He was almost twice her age at that time. If that’s the person who broke her heart, then yes, I absolutely get how hard that was for her to come back from. Getting your heart stomped on at an early age can become kind of the blueprint for what someone expects from relationships. In the article she talked about reading “about how much more beautiful the new girlfriend is” and dealing with “public humiliation,” which would compound any issues resulting from a bad breakup. Hell, they’d create problems even if the breakup wasn’t bad. So while I don’t know much about Suki, I’m low-key thrilled that she found this sort of giddiness with Robert. She sounds positively smitten in all the ways that make relationships fun. And if Suki never thought she’d have that, it makes it even sweeter.

I say I know nothing about Robert and Suki but that doesn’t mean I am clueless about Suki’s love life. Once upon a time I paid very close attention to her romantic wanderings because they were with Diego Luna, and I care very much what Diego does. Their romance came almost two years before Robert. She went from Diego to Darren Aronofsky and finally found Robert. I got the impression her relationship with Diego was one of convenience for both of them. As in, they got together when it was convenient, which worked because I’m sure Suki was still weary of older men and rumor is he prefers a looser definition of fidelity. I can’t imagine what Aronofsky brought to the table but I’m glad Suki excused herself quickly. And now she has Robert. And they’re happy and possibly in it for the long-haul. I’m happy for them.
