Robert Pattinson Leans on Good Friend Katy Perry for Support After Split With FKA Twigs
Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs' relationship is officially over, and it seems like the actor has found a rock in the form of long-time friend Katy Perry.
It has been confirmed that there would be no wedding happening between actor Robert Pattinson and singer FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett. According to a report published by E! News, it was Pattinson who had ended things with his girlfriend of three years. This news comes after the 31-year-old actor told Howard Stern that he was "kind of" still engaged to FKA Twigs weeks ago. Now, with his separation from FKA Twigs, Pattinson has been reportedly receiving a ton of support from his good friend, pop star Katy Perry.
"Rob has been leaning a lot on Katy since his split with FKA Twigs," a source told E! News. "They talk on the phone regularly and make sure to see each other when they both aren't away working. Katy has always been a good friend to Rob over the years and has been there for him emotionally," the insider added.
According to the source, Perry and Pattinson share the same interests and have become good friends. Not only that, the source also claims that the actor receives good advice from the pop star, and even with her busy schedule, Perry still makes sure to send Pattinson a text to make sure he's doing good.
Katy Perry had also been a supportive friend to Pattinson during his relationship with fellow "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart, especially when news of the latter's affair with director Rupert Sanders first broke out. Likewise, Pattinson also helped Perry out during her divorce to Russell Brandt.
As for his split with FKA Twigs, it has been claimed that the reason for their breakup is "timing." Apparently, the two were trying to make it work and had even bought a house together, but the singer moved out shortly after.
