Fans have accused Robert Pattinson of seemingly taking a playful jab at former partner Kristen Stewart after he joked about relationship “red flags” during a recent interview. The 39-year-old actor attended the Rome premiere of his new film alongside co-star Zendaya, where he was asked what he considers a warning sign in a relationship.
“Like a Zodiac sign? Aries,” Pattinson replied with mock seriousness before quickly laughing and clarifying that he had chosen a random sign. However, the comment didn’t go unnoticed by fans, many of whom pointed out that Stewart — his former Twilight co-star — is an Aries. Social media users quickly speculated that the remark may have been a subtle reference, with some suggesting he realized the implication moments after saying it. Others dismissed it as harmless humor, though the moment still sparked debate online.
Pattinson and Stewart famously began dating while filming the Twilight franchise and were together for about four years. Their relationship faced turbulence in 2012 following Stewart’s highly publicized scandal involving Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. Stewart later issued a public apology, calling the incident a “momentary indiscretion” and expressing regret for hurting Pattinson.
Years later, Stewart reflected fondly on their connection, describing being drawn to Pattinson from the start and praising his creative approach to acting. She later publicly came out while hosting Saturday Night Live in 2017 and went on to have several relationships before finding long-term love with screenwriter Dylan Meyer. The couple reportedly married in April 2025 during a small ceremony in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, Pattinson has been in a relationship with singer and actress Suki Waterhouse since 2018. The pair welcomed their first child, a daughter, in March 2024. He also recently sparked speculation that the two may have quietly married after hinting at sharing a “big secret” similar to Zendaya — who has long been rumored to have secretly wed Tom Holland. Regardless of the intent behind his comment, Pattinson’s brief joke has once again revived interest in one of Hollywood’s most talked-about past relationships.
