Suki Waterhouse’s relationship with actor Robert Pattinson feels “new” after they “survived” having a child together.
Suki Waterhouse has opened up about how becoming parents changed her relationship with Robert Pattinson
The couple – who became engaged in December 2023 – welcomed their daughter in March 2024 and have largely kept details about the two year old out of the public eye but the singer/actress/model has now opened up about how becoming parents changed their relationship admitting she struggled with internal “turmoil” after becoming a first-time mother.
She told Variety: “Internally, there’s been quite a lot of turmoil and just wondering if I’m doing the right thing. And especially, oh my God, the hormones right after you have a baby are so intense.
“It’s like [I got] belief back in myself, and then also being … I don’t want to say back in love with my partner, because it sounds like I was out of it, which I was never.
“But it’s also a new relationship. Your old relationship has been wiped out, and so it’s building that new one and kind of celebrating the beauty in that, like, we’ve survived this.”
The Daisy Jones and The Six star went on to explain why the couple decided to keep their daughter’s life as “private as possible”.
She added: “I think it really is possible to keep as much of your life private as possible. You can have both. But you don’t want someone to recognize your kid in the street; it’s a safety thing …
“What if she wants to be a really cool scientist?. Twenty years from now we’ll see if she wants to do anything in the public eye … [However, she] is, unfortunately, quite theatrical.”
It comes after The Batman star Robert admitted his little girl has already seen most of his films joking that he shows the tot his movies when she is misbehaving.
In an interview with GQ, Robert said: “Oh, she has seen so many of them already. If I’m not getting any respect, I’ll be like, ‘Who’s this? Who’s that on the screen?’ And she’s like… [Blank stare]. And I’m like, ‘It begins with a D! Ends with a Y!'”
Robert revealed he wasn’t the “biggest fan of kids” before becoming a father but stressed that his opinion has transformed completely since.
Asked how parenthood changed him, the 40-year-old actor said: “I don’t know how. I wasn’t the biggest fan of kids before. I didn’t mind them. I would tolerate them. But it’s the most fun thing. I think it’s absolutely wonderful.
“And you’re suddenly like … well, everyone does seem to think their kid is the coolest kid. I definitely think, I’m like. Yeah, my kid, you can actually hang with her. She’s great …
“But how has it changed me? I go to bed a lot earlier. There’s just constant time management. It’s just that everything is time management, the whole time.
“I mean, it’s kind of obvious, but you don’t realise it until you do it. Even if you’re on the other side of the planet, you’re like, ‘Okay, I cannot spend more than 10 days away.’
“After 10 days of being away, it’s physical pain. It’s so interesting, your body chemistry changes without you even thinking about it.”
