Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs Split. Might Get Back Together?

No formal announcements; but actions speak volumes. Behind closed doors, sometimes, a breakup is so complete; all you can do is observe what ISN'T being said. Silence has its own resonance and the ripple effect creates its own vortex. If this relationship was a patient on a table; it's D.O.A. No amount of resuscitation can jump-start a split like this. Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs (real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett), were a formerly inseparable couple and are now living separate lives. The engagement, whether rumor, conjecture, or confirmed by Pattinson recently in an interview with Howard Stern, is over. They are living separate lives. Just this past Saturday, October 21st 2017, Robert Pattinson was spotted in an intimate dinner with Katy Perry and a group of friends, at the Sunset Tower hotel in West Hollywood. Meanwhile, his fiance, FKA Twigs has been seen cooling her jets, minus her engagement ring, in Ibiza with French Model Brieuc Breitenstein and neither sides are talking. One thing's for sure; something ran afoul around August 2017, bringing this star-crossed romance to splitsville.

Freshly single Robert Pattinson has been regularly face-timing with Katy Perry, while she is on her world tour. Maybe she's being a friend, or maybe breaking girl code: she smells the blood in the water and wants Rob for herself, once and for all.

FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson have been stitched at the hip since 2014 and the relationship has really cooled recently, due to work commitments. But, if that were true - how did it work so well before? The bottom line: if you want it to work, make it work and if you don't bye, Felicia. That's usually what happens in dating. Having "work conflicts" is right up there with "irreconcilable differences" and both mean one thing: it's over, rover.

Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson have known each other since 2008 and have been good friends for years. Lately, they have stepped their friendship up a notch and have been text messaging, IM-ing and skyping with each other. It would seem that they have both taken each other out of the friend zone because, let's face it - ghosting is KING for most of us. Basically, you only talk to people you WANT to talk to and message those we want to respond to; otherwise it's a dead zone, people. That's how it works - especially in the fast pace of Los Angeles and especially, if you are in the entertainment business. For Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson to be in communication SO MUCH, via SO MANY methods - one of them HAS to be interested in being more than just friends. If you don't believe me, pay attention to how many times you AVOID communicating in your life and then tell me these two aren't interested in each other. It just doesn't happen. Not today, not now and not ever. Trust me: if someone hasn't returned your call - they mean it. If someone is texting, emailing, facebooking, IM-ing you, face-timing you and skyping you - come on! Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson are more than friends.

Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry have a history of friendship going back to 2008. After Pattinson split up with Kristen Stewart, Katy was a shoulder for him to lean on then, too.

The pair have been together since 2014 and Robert popped the question, six months into dating. Rapper T-Pain notoriously let their hush-hush engagement out of the bag in April 2015 and tried to pass it off as an April fools joke. No-one bought it. Finally, Pattinson was interviewed on Howard Stern's show and he confirmed they were engaged - BARELY. But, something happened shortly after that interview in July 2017, because by August, FKA twigs was in Ibiza, minus her engagement ring and hanging out with a French model, Brieuc Breitenstein and Pattinson was dining with Katy Perry at the Sunset Tower, in West Hollywood.

Pattinson has been open recently on how hard it is to trust people in LA, let alone dating. Being apart of the Twilight saga has also intensified Robert's need for privacy. According to the actor, there were racial slurs being hurled at his now ex FKA Twigs and this may have been one of the reasons for the breakup.

Going back to 2014, there was a PDA incident between Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry at the W hotel, after his premier of his film The Rover. Katy seems to have been a constant in Pattinson's life since 2008 and it seems to mirror Prince Charles's obsession with Camilla Parker-Bowles when he was married to Princess Diana. Diana always said that she was in a relationship with TWO people and it seems FKA twigs is being dealt the same hand by Rob. There's always Katy.

Breakups are often the ultimate heartbreak. Pattinson has rabid fans who still only want to see him with Kristen Stewart - the one girl who decimated and humiliated him back in 2012. Pattinson caught Stewart having an affair on the set of "Snow White And The Huntsman,' with the director, Rupert Sanders. It's hard for him to know who likes him for real, or if they just want a piece of fame. And, dating him, comes with huge setbacks. There is no privacy and he can't really go out anywhere, without being hounded by fans and the press. It doesn't lead to normalcy and more likely to nomadic, introverted Isolation, at times.

When Twilight fame hit in 2008, Robert Pattinson was EVERYWHERE. He lived in a kind of exhile from his own life and this matter was only made worse, when Kristen Stewart, his fiance and co-star, got caught publicly having an affair with her director on "Snow White And The Huntsman." Under these kind of circumstances, living a normal life is next to impossible and it surely must have put a tremendous strain on his relationship with FKA twigs.

It was very telling that Pattinson played coy about his engagement to FKA twigs on Howard Stern's show in July 2017. Within a month of this recording, he and FKA twigs were on the back burner to nowhereville - he, by the side of longtime pal, Katy Perry at a romantic restaurant in West Hollywood, on October 22nd and she in Ibiza with a French model in August. It seems they both went in completely different directions after his interview in July, finally acquiescing their engagement.

FKA twigs and Pattinson have been hounded relentlessly, since the day their relationship began. There's no telling how hard that was on their privacy and to have any kind of normalcy within that media frenzy is exhausting to look at, let alone be the center of it's attention.

Both were reluctant in the past to give details on their engagement. They're not likely to spill any details of the split. Both, have been going on with their lives and continue to neither confirm or deny their separation.

FKA Twigs is first and foremost an ARTIST. She's recording in London right now and getting on with it. She has a unique style and is her own woman. Perhaps the side of fame attached to dating Robert Pattinson was just too much for her - the media and fans on her grille 24x7 must be intense for this introverted extrovert. Pattinson is currently filming "High Life," a new acting project to stretch himself with. The truth is, there simply may not have been enough time between work for them to stay together. Add the stress of celebrity and you have a recipe for disaster. Breakup 101.

Even leaving a concert was a strain for FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson. The press leave no private moment without scrutinizing every detail and no stone unturned to get a story. Get a shot of either one of them angry and it's media fodder for the gossip columns to spin. This is is the kind of stress that a celebrity couple faces.

It's hard enough to live your life, date, get engaged, get married, divorce, or breakup. Imagine that your every waking moment is interrupted by paparazzi and flash photography. They are everywhere. They are relentless. At coffee shops. The supermarket. Outside your home. At the airport. They swarm you, like bees to honey; when a story is juicy. Whether the rumors of a breakup and failed engagement are true, or not; ANYONE would feel strained with the kind of media scrutiny Robert Pattinson has to live with. To be honest, all celebrities, no matter how nice they are; being harassed by media outlets can force you to lash out - or, in the case of Robert Pattinson, be a reclusive celebrity. Princess Diana paid the ultimate price. It's a warning to all celebrities, to be cautious of what they wish for. Celebrity is a fickle bargain. One day you're on top of the world and the next, you're a cautionary tale; walking out of rehab. Here's hoping that, with all the evidence pointing to a quiet and painful breakup between Pattinson and FKA twigs, that they find a quiet place to lick their wounds in private.

The jury is still out on this, but most believe the breakup between FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson is due to conflicting schedules, intense media scrutiny, race-bashing on social media against the interracial couple and the constant litany of photographers following the couple's every move. Either way: they aren't talking to one another and they certainly aren't making a public scene. True to form; they are quietly going about their lives, without each other and that says enough.

When you look at FKA twigs vocal talent and artistry, you can see she is a visionary. A strong individual. She has an artistic sensibility and to be at the top in the music business, you need to be unilaterally focussed. There may not have been room for Robert Pattinson. It has nothing to do with race, culture, or anything other than a woman driven to exceed herself and not wanting to be distracted. If the rumors of the breakup are true; watch what kind of music FKA twigs puts out. It will be fierce. Untamed. A woman of this exceptional nature is often misunderstood and needs a strong lover who can let her be the queen that she is. My bet is on FKA twigs for breaking up with Robert Pattinson; not the other way around. He's crying; she's not. She's just clear.

FKA twigs looking exhausted from her tour and minus her engagement ring from Robert Pattinson. Telling. A picture is worth a thousand words.

There is nothing like the heat of a new romance and there is nothing like the stark shadow and coldness of when a relationship ends. Both Robert Pattinson and FKA twigs seem to be handling their split with a quiet reserve and are happy to remain INSIDE the eye of the storm, which is the most powerful place to be.

Despite the media circus of late; friends close to FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson have maintained that they are still very much together. Only time will tell, once the frenzy dies down and the magazines are getting blown away by the December wind. There is always hope.
