Robert Pattinson Dating Elvis Presley's Granddaughter After Kristen Stewart Split? 'They're Inseparable'
Robert Pattinson and actress Riley Keough are allegedly dating just weeks after the actor ended his relationship with Kristen Stewart.
The "Twilight" star, 27, was recently photographed with Keough, who is the granddaughter of famed rock and roll legend Elvis Presley, while driving through Los Feliz. Pattinson split up with Stewart, 23, shortly after celebrating his May 13 birthday.
"They're inseparable. Rob loves the fact that Riley is Elvis's granddaughter - that's true Rock'n'Roll royalty in his eyes," a source told Daily Mail U.K., adding that their romance is "short-term" instead of "long-term love."
Stewart, who infamously cheated on Pattinson in 2012 with a married man, was reportedly devastated after learning about the British actor's new love interest. The "Snow White And The Huntsman" actress reportedly once had a friendship Keough, 24, with the source claiming she acted as a career mentor to the actress and model.
"Riley was always Kristen's friend dating back from their time filming The Runaways but recently Rob and Riley been spending much more time together since meeting through their Dior modelling connection ... They have a lot in common- they both love LA, London, rock music and table tennis," the insider said.
"Kristen feels that she acted as mentor to Riley on her first film The Runaways, introduced her to Rob and encouraged her to make a career of acting. Rob has been made aware through friends that she is devastated," the source said. "Kristen is emotionally volatile at best of times and flew off the handle when she found out about Rob's liaison with Riley. She's told Rob via friends she feels violated."
Pattinson and Stewart first began dating after meeting on the 2008 set of "Twilight" and they have been together on-and-off ever since. The actor is yet to address rumors surrounding his relationship with Keough.
