Robert Pattinson Addresses Dating Red Flags, Internet Connects It to His Ex

Robert Pattinson is drawing attention online after a brief comment he made during a red-carpet interview at the Rome premiere of his upcoming film The Drama.

When asked what he considers a “danger sign” in dating, Pattinson replied, “Aries,” before quickly laughing and adding that he was joking and had chosen the answer at random.

Despite the clarification, the remark quickly went viral. Many fans pointed out that his former partner, actor Kristen Stewart, is an Aries, having been born on April 9. Social media users have since circulated the clip widely, with some suggesting the comment may have been an indirect reference to their past relationship.

Pattinson and Stewart dated from 2009 to 2013 after meeting on the set of Twilight. Their relationship ended following a widely publicized cheating scandal involving Stewart and director Rupert Sanders.

However, Pattinson has a long-established reputation for giving humorous and often unserious answers in interviews. He is known for a dry, sometimes chaotic style that includes joking or deliberately misleading responses.

The timing of the viral moment comes as Pattinson promotes The Drama, a film co-starring Zendaya that reportedly explores themes of trust and overthinking in relationships.

Both Pattinson and Stewart have moved on from their past relationship. Pattinson has been with model and singer Suki Waterhouse since 2018, and the couple welcomed a daughter in 2024. They are also rumored to be married. Stewart, meanwhile, is engaged to screenwriter Dylan Meyer.

Recent comments from Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke suggest the former couple are on good terms. Hardwicke said Stewart even attended Pattinson’s birthday celebration in 2023.
