Taylor Lautner Reaches Out to Kristen Stewart After Robert Pattinson Engagement is Announced
"Twilight" fans all over the world are heartbroken after it was revealed this week that Robert Pattinson is engaged to his girlfriend of six months, Tahliah Barnett, also known as singer FKA Twigs. Those who have been supporting Pattinson's pairing with "Twilight" co-star and ex-girlfriend Kristen Stewart have now lost all hope of reconciliation between the two as they took to social media to mourn and air their displeasure over the actor's engagement.
Meanwhile, Stewart is allegedly upset about the news, and her other "Twilight" co-star and good friend Taylor Lautner has reportedly reached out to comfort her.
"[Taylor] already reached out to her to offer support and to remind her that it's out of her control and not to beat herself up about the past," said an insider to Hollywood Life, "He found out about Rob's engagement just like everyone else, on the Internet, and as soon as he heard about it he reached out to Kristen."

It was T-Pain, a good friend of FKA Twigs, who spilled the beans about the couple's engagement during an interview with Vulture. Though the rapper tweeted that it was an April Fools' joke, People has confirmed that the pair are indeed engaged.
The source added that Stewart and Lautner have always been close and the actress has always relied on him especially during difficult times.
"He's been there with her throughout all the ups and downs with Rob and totally understands how the news is playing with her head. He's always been like her rock and vice versa," the insider said.
Another source tells Hollywood Life that Pattinson decided not to tell his former girlfriend about his engagement.
"That ship has sailed," said the source. "He doesn't talk to her—they have two completely different lives. She is not part of his day at all. FKA is his life now."
