LONDON: Robert Pattinson admitted after the BAFTA Awards on February 21 night he is dating his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart. The actor — who stars in the hit Twilight vampire movie franchise alongside Stewart — has previously been very guarded about his love life but admitted at the BAFTA Awards after-party.

Pattinson, 23, insists they have only avoided going public with their relationship before now because they were worried about being hounded by obsessed fans.

Speaking at the post-BAFTAs dinner held at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, he said, “It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans, it goes crazy. Pattinson presented a gong while 19-year-old Kristen picked up the Orange Rising Star award.
