Robert Pattinson With Katy Perry After Kristen Stewart Split
Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson were reportedly spotted together in in Santa Barbara, Calif. on May 26 following the actor's recent split from Kristen Stewart.
The pop singer, 28, and Pattinson, 27, reportedly attended a wedding rehearsal at San Ysidro Ranch together, which surprised onlookers. A fellow rehearsal guest confirmed that there were no obvious signs that the pair is more than friends.
"Katy and Rob were just sitting next to each other watching the wedding rehearsal in the main courtyard area. They were dressed very casually," rehearsal guest Stephanie Sands told People.com.
"She was wearing a hoodie and big sunglasses. There was no PDA (public display of affection) between them and no body language that showed they were dating," she continued. "They just sat together and watched."
On May 23, Pattinson, who dated Stewart on-and-off for four years, was photographed moving out of the actress' Los Feliz home. The pair allegedly split less than one year after the "Twilight" star cheated with her married "Snow White & The Huntsman" director, Rupert Sanders, and Perry was reportedly not surprised.
"Katy never really supported Rob's decision to get back with Kristen. She always said they wouldn't last," a source told Life & Style magazine.
"Katy told Rob she didn't think their relationship could withstand the cheating scandal. And he deserved better than someone who would destroy a family [like Rupert's]," the source added.
On May 13, Pattinson celebrated his birthday and Stewarrt was nowhere to be seen. A paparazzi photographer claimed Stewart and Pattinson were embroiled in an intense phone dispute on that same day which allegedly prompted the split.
"Kristen was pacing back-and-forth in her friend's apartment, smoking. She looked really upset, talking on the phone for almost an hour— I'm guessing she was talking to Rob," the unnamed photographer told X17 Online.
"She was really animated, like she was trying to explain something. She was getting frustrated and seemed very emotional," he added.
In July last year, Stewart was photographed intimately embracing Sanders during a secret tryst. She later publicly apologized to Pattinson, but the actor had difficulty moving past the scandal.
"Rob always brings up the cheating scandal to Kristen. He hangs it over her head," a source told Us magazine.
"He's not as into it as he was before the cheating— not giving her special treatment like he used to. She feels unloved and that's why they fought," another source said.
