Why Suki Waterhouse Was Not With Robert Pattinson at Cannes

On Saturday, Robert Pattinson walked the red carpet for the premiere of his new film Die, My Love, beside co-star Jennifer Lawrence. Pattinson was in a classic black tux, while Lawrence wore a strapless white gown by Dior made of ruched fabric ,with a tiered skirt that ended in a small train.

Pattinson’s partner, Suki Waterhouse, did not appear on the red carpet for the movie’s premiere. She was most recently seen in New York City at the Met Gala, and may not have been able to make it to Cannes for this year’s festival. The couple has a daughter at home who they welcomed in spring of last year.

Die, My Love is based on the Ariana Harwicz novel of the same name and stars Jennifer Lawrence as a woman consumed by “love and madness,” according to a synopsis on Deadline. Pattinson is the object of her obsession, and they are joined on screen by LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek, and Nick Nolte.

On Friday night, Pattinson and Lawrence made an appearance on the red carpet at the Dior at The Hollywood Reporter dinner for the film’s cast. It was Lawrence’s first time in the spotlight since welcoming her second child with husband Cooke Maroney.

In July 2024, Waterhouse spoke to British Vogue about her relationship with the actor, describing how they met.

“I was sure that I’d met him a long time ago, but he didn’t think that we had,” she shared, explaining they then did a round of the role playing game Werewolf that was “very, very intense. There were lots of ‘big’ characters, real heavy hitters [in the room]. Al Pacino was there. Javier and Penelope were there… and, you know, everyone was really acting.”

She continued, “I think we both sort of have the same slight uncomfortable-ness [and quickly] started giggling at the absurdity of the whole thing,” adding they “got told off” for laughing and that a director “separated us because we were laughing too much.”

They met up again later that year and began spending time together. Soon they were dating and then discovered they were expecting. She shared that while giving birth, Pattinson made her a rap playlist.

“He was there with me and like all dads, he was really nervous, but for someone who’s quite an anxious person, he’s been very calm,” she said. “[He’s] the dad I could have hoped for. I mean a dad and his daughter? It’s an actual love story.”
