New parents Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse have both recently shared rare comments about their new baby girl.
Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse have a romance for the ages, and now, they're first-time parents.
Waterhouse, 32, and the couple's baby girl -- whom they welcomed earlier this spring -- covered the August 2024 issue of British Vogue -- and in the article, the Daisy Jones & The Six star shared a few details on their relationship and new chapter of life together.
Their daughter's arrival came three months after People reported on Dec. 21, citing sources, that the couple is engaged. The source told the outlet that "they both want to be married" and that "it's important for them."
Though the notoriously private couple has been together for several years, they have only given fans a handful of peeks into their relationship. In her interview with British Vogue, Waterhouse confirmed that she and Pattinson, 38, first met at a star-studded game night in Los Angeles in 2018.
Although they didn't exchange numbers that night, Waterhouse says the encounter "had percolated [something]." She added, "I think Rob's quite funny, I light up when I'm around him." The pair got together months later, with Waterhouse noting that life in L.A. "definitely became a lot more fun" when she met Pattinson.
Both have obviously had high-profile relationships before, with Pattinson breaking off his two-year engagement to FKA Twigs in October 2017, and Waterhouse previously linked to Bradley Cooper and Diego Luna.
However, Waterhouse said when it comes to past relationships, Pattinson has "a lot of humor about that kind of stuff.
"He couldn't really give a s**t," she admitted with a laugh. "He's like, 'No one's better than me, so whatever.'"

2018
Pattinson and Waterhouse's relationship began some time in the late spring/early summer of 2018. The pair was first spotted getting cozy in July, which prompted a source to tell Us Weekly that the actor and the model had been dating "for months."
"[They have] known each other and been around each other for a long time," the source told the outlet, before noting that they "definitely have a love of music in common" since they "are both really cool, nice and normal people."

April 2019
While speaking to The Sunday Times, Pattinson addressed his relationship for the first time, or rather explained why he wouldn't address it.
"If you let people in, it devalues what love is," he explained. "If a stranger on the street asked you about your relationship, you'd think it extremely rude. If you put up a wall it ends up better."
"I can't understand how someone can walk down the street holding hands, and it's the same as when I do it and a hundred people are taking your photo," Pattinson added. "The line between when you're performing and when you're not will eventually get washed away and you'll go completely mad."
June 2019
The month after Pattinson celebrated his 33rd birthday with Waterhouse by his side, the couple stepped out for a double date with another famous couple -- Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn.
ET confirmed the foursome's outing, while Us Weekly reported that the night out took place at San Vicente Bungalows in Hollywood, with an eyewitness noting they laughed and talked all night.
Around the same time, multiple outlets reported that the couple kept in touch via FaceTime when not physically together.

The next month, a source gave E! News an update on Pattinson and Waterhouse's relationship.
"Rob and Suki have definitely discussed getting engaged but are in no rush. Suki is not pressuring him and they are both very committed to each other," the source told the outlet. "[They are] still dating and going strong. They are a really good match. They have both been spending time in the U.K. together during this last year and their relationship is stronger than ever."
That seemed to be proven true the next month, when The Daily Mail spotted the couple taking a London stroll with Pattinson's parents.
February 2022
The couple largely remained quiet during 2021, but early the next year, Pattinson shared a funny story about his girlfriend in an interview with GQ.
"The [boiler repairman] came around the other day, and he just randomly started talking about what a DC fan he is," The Batman star said. "And I'm sitting there facing the other direction, and my girlfriend just keeps continuing the conversation with him. And I'm looking at her like: Shut the f**k up! Why are you doing this to me? She was very entertaining. Just talking to an obsessive fan."
Pattinson also spoke about his relationship during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, revealing how Waterhouse reacted to seeing his performance in The Batman.
"It was really her reaction that kind of changed the entire thing because I'm pretty sure she's not normally into watching superhero movies," he 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!'"

February 2023
The couple took the next step in their relationship by purchasing a California home together, Dirt reported. The pair bought the Spanish-style, Hollywood Hills home for $5.3 million.
The same month of their big purchase, Waterhouse spoke out about her relationship for the first time in an interview with The Sunday Times, revealing that she and Pattinson have never spent more than two months apart.
"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," Waterhouse said. "I'm shocked that I'm so happy with someone for nearly five years."
"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," she added. "We've always got so much to say, and I find him hilarious."
