Robert Pattinson Is Fully Unbothered By Suki Waterhouse Singing About Her Exes

Suki Waterhouse found a love worth singing about with Robert Pattinson.

In a new interview with British Vogue, published Tuesday, she described Pattinson as “quite an anxious person” in general, but there’s one area where he’s notably secure: Waterhouse’s music, including songs about her exes.

Pattinson has “a lot of humor about that kind of stuff,” she said. “He couldn’t really give a shit. He’s like, ‘No one’s better than me, so whatever.’”

She and Pattinson, who have been together for some six years, have “a love that is really pure,” she said, but “I can get mad for my friends” for songwriting inspiration.

And Pattinson doesn’t have a free pass forever, just because of that pure love, sparkly as a vampire’s skin in the sunlight. “Rob can still get a shitty song. You can find things to be pissed about,” she said. For one, she notes that “he’s always got very strong opinions,” like saying she “should do an EDM track.”

Today, she and Pattinson, both Brits by birth, currently live in Los Angeles with their three-month-old daughter, but they first met during a gathering where guests were playing the party game Werewolf with some notable names.

“It was very, very intense. There were lots of ‘big’ characters, real heavy hitters,” she said. “Al Pacino was there. Javier [Bardem] and Penélope [Cruz] were there… and, you know, everyone was really acting.”

They bonded over their “same slight uncomfortable-ness” and through the night “started giggling at the absurdity of the whole thing” to the point where they “got told off. There was a director that separated us because we were laughing too much.”

She eventually realized that “I light up when I’m around” Pattinson, and that living in LA “definitely became a lot more fun when I met him.” A move back to the U.K., however, is “at the forefront of our minds,” she said.

Waterhouse welcomed the couple’s daughter two days after she finished recording her album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, which will be released in September. Motherhood, she said, has enabled her to blow off others’ opinions. “You just have to go, ‘This is what we’re doing, this is what we’re about and fuck what anyone else thinks.’”

As for Pattinson, Waterhouse credited both him and a stacked rap playlist for helping her through the birth process. “He was there with me and like all dads, he was really nervous, but for someone who’s quite an anxious person, he’s been very calm,” she said, calling him “the dad I could have hoped for.”
