Suki Waterhouse has shared intimate details about her pregnancy journey with actor Robert Pattinson, emphasizing that the couple intentionally planned to start a family. In an exclusive interview with E! News, the 32-year-old actress, renowned for her role in “Daisy Jones & The Six,” revealed that the decision to have a baby with the “Twilight” star was a well-thought-out choice.
“No, we really planned it,” Suki affirmed when asked if the pregnancy was a surprise, adding, “One day we looked at each other and said, ‘Well, this is as ready as we’re going to be.'”
Reflecting on their decision with humor, Suki joked, “I was like, ‘What can make more chaos?'” Their daughter, born earlier this year, represents a significant milestone in their relationship, which began in 2018.
Robert Pattinson, celebrated for his role in the “Twilight” series, has embraced fatherhood gracefully, according to Suki. “He was there with me, and like all dads, he was really nervous,” she shared about their daughter’s birth. Despite his natural anxiety, Suki praised Robert for his calm demeanor during the experience. Describing the bond between Robert and their daughter, Suki expressed, “I mean, a dad and his daughter? It’s an actual love story.”
However, the early days of motherhood presented surprises for Suki, who admitted feeling overwhelmed by the demands of caring for a newborn. “Shocking in every way,” Suki remarked about her initial experiences, adding, “I was alarmed when I learned that a baby needed to be breastfed every two hours. I was like, ‘Excuse me? Is this what this entails?'”
Despite the challenges, Suki Waterhouse embraces motherhood wholeheartedly, emphasizing the joy her daughter brings. “Now, I have this anchor,” she reflected, adding, “And I’m so happy all the time to go home and see her little gummy smile.”
In a cover interview for British Vogue’s August issue, Waterhouse, posing with her and Pattinson’s daughter, reflected on their six-year relationship and why the pregnancy wasn’t a shock. “I was sure that I’d met him a long time ago, but he didn’t think that we had,” Waterhouse said. The Daisy Jones & The Six star recalled meeting Pattinson at a game night in L.A. “It was very, very intense,” she said. “There were lots of ‘big’ characters, real heavy hitters.” She revealed that guests included Al Pacino, Javier Bardem, and Penélope Cruz. “And you know, everyone was really acting,” she said. “I think we both sort of have the same slight uncomfortable-ness” and “started giggling at the absurdity of the whole thing,” she said, also revealing that they both “got told off. There was a director that separated us because we were laughing too much.”
Six years later, the couple have welcomed a baby girl and Waterhouse assured that the pregnancy wasn’t a shock to them because they “really planned it.” She said, “One day we looked at each other and said, ‘Well, this is as ready as we’re going to be.’”
Waterhouse described early motherhood as “shocking” but found solace in Pattinson: “He was there with me and like all dads, he was really nervous,” she recalled, “but for someone who’s quite an anxious person, he’s been very calm.” Waterhouse described Pattinson as “the dad I could have hoped for. I mean, a dad and his daughter? It’s an actual love story,” she said.
Last year, Waterhouse shared the news of her pregnancy during her performance at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico. “I’m extra sparkly today because I thought it might distract you from something else that’s going on,” she said, pointing at her belly before revealing a baby bump. “I’m not sure if it’s working.”
