Suki Waterhouse is expecting her first baby with her longtime boyfriend Robert Pattinson.
Following weeks of rumors going on, the Daisy Jones and the Six star confirmed the news while onstage at the Corona Capital Music Festival in Mexico City November 19th.
“I decided to wear something particularly sparkly because I thought it might distract you from something else that’s going on,” the singer told the crowd, gesturing toward her baby bump, which she showcased in a glittering silver mini dress. “I’m not sure if it’s working.”
The pregnancy comes just five years after she and her boyfriend first sparked romance rumors while attendin
g a date night to Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again in London.
“Robert was very affectionate to her and had his arm around her the whole way and Suki reciprocated by holding his hand and kissing it,” an eyewitness told E! News in July 2018. “They were very loved up and close. Robert stroked Suki’s hair and gave her another loving kiss.”
According to reports, a source confirmed that Rob, 27, and Suki were ‘causally dating’ following his split from former fiancée FKA Twigs.

“Rob likes to have fun when he has breaks in-between filming,” the insider noted, “and him and Suki have a great time together.”
Over the years, the couple continued to be strong and show a solid relationship together.
“They are very solid in their relationship,” another insider told E! in Nov. 2021, who noted Rob and Suki are “always just totally joined at the hip.”
The pair began living together in London during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he filmed his titular superhero role in The Batman.
During that time, an insider told PEOPLE that their relationship appeared to be “on the fast track.”
“They are very loved-up,” the source said in July 2020. “They haven’t been together that long. But everything seems on the fast track. They are always laughing and smiling at each other.”

Pattinson previously said that seeing Waterhouse’s reaction to The Batman”kind of changed the entire thing” for him as he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in February.
“I’m pretty sure she’s not normally into watching superhero movies,” Pattinson said. “And just seeing that it was capturing her attention the entire time, and then she held my hand and touched it [to her face] and I could feel a little tear. And I was like, ‘No way!'”
In an interview with The Sunday Times in February 2023, Waterhouse opened up about her long-term relationship with Pattinson.
“I’m shocked that I’m so happy with someone for nearly five years,” she said, adding that the couple never goes more than two months without seeing each other. “I had two days off the other day, and it was like, no question I’m going back to see him.”
