Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson began dating around 2009, after meeting and working together on the "Twilight" movie series, where they played love interests. They kept much of their relationship private initially, with Stewart publicly confirming they were a couple in a 2011 interview. Their relationship lasted on and off until they officially broke up in 2013. Despite their breakup, their relationship was a defining moment of early 2010s celebrity culture, marked by intense media attention especially after 2012 when Stewart was photographed kissing another person, which led to a temporary break and brief reconciliation before their final split in 2013.
