Rob and Kristen are notorious for shielding their relationship from the public and now HollywoodLife.com has more insight as to why this couple likes to remain so private!
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are completely in love — so why not tell the world? HollywoodLife.com spoke with a source close to the couple who reveals why they won’t just come right out and admit that they’re a couple!
“Rob and Kristen are definitely boyfriend and girlfriend and they keep their relationship a secret because they don’t want to jinx it,” a source tells us. “They think that going public with their relationship will not only hurt them, but their careers too.”
But why would they think it would hurt their careers? Twi-hards love them as a couple in Twilight and we love seeing them go on romantic trips and dates all over the world!
“Rob knows he’s a teen craze right now and thinks the public will view him differently if he comes out with Kristen as a couple and she feels the same way,” the source continues. “They just want the focus to be on them and not their relationship.”
We just told you about Rob and Kristen’s romantic sushi date where they even took time to pose with fans. It turns out they love going to small ethnic restaurants in all of their favorite cities like London, NYC and LA — our source added that Rob’s favorite cuisine is Indian!

Kudos to them! They are doing the right thing. Wish them all the best. I am a Robsten fan, but I completely respect their right to their privacy.

That’s a load of crap, they don’t publicly speak about it because they want their privacy. Besides even Kristen said it herself ‘it’s so obvious’ why if we all know they’re together and in love and they know that we know this , why give people that opportunity to start medalling in their personal lives?

I thk Rob is the one who likes to kip the relash a secret so al those females can sworn at his feet. If u love someone u r are proud to show them off,but clearly rob has an ego to be stroked by adoring females who thk he is single,what a jerk.
LMAO

hahaha, this just proves Rob’s afraid of all the scary cat lady nonstens who’ll tire iron him if he has a gf, especially someone as thin as kristen cause they are all portly patties.

Megan,
You’re so right. And HL got beat on that Robsten sighting last night too! The last few stories they’ve put out have been just awful.

This article makes perfect sense. Look at all the break ups happening in Hollywood right now. It’s an epidemic! Every time a celebrity couple goes public they crumble quickly for the most part. There are a few exceptions. They’re doing the right thing. I know if it were my hubby and I in their position, we would do whatever we needed to do to protect what we have. I’d be lost without my buddy. Keep up the zipped lips Rob and Kristen! Do what you need to do and don’t worry about what anyone thinks. XOXO

They’re talking about all the Rob fans who just won’t accept that they’re together. It’s pathetic really, it’s so obvious. It is kind of silly because A LOT of Rob fans are also Kristen fans, therefore ROBSTEN fans. Besides if the Robsessed girls truly loved him they wouldn’t care if he was dating her or not. I, however, am q Robsessed Krisbian and 100% support and love them with every decision they make.

I 100% agree with Kim!!! Rob and Kristen have always been known to be uber private about their relationship and they plan to keep it that way. Hence, their last relationships before hooking up were extremely public and it hurt both of them.

Right on Kim,no one will let this couple be,even if they make up stories like papa stew lies calling them a nasty pot head family,thats wrong..Yes we know that Rob and Kristen keep their relationship on the low down,for their own protection,So lets just send lots of peace,prayers and love to all of the family members even their 4 legged family members,and Zoe right on to you I could not have said it better,kudos to you Zoe. xoxo Karen E

Another silly story. Here’s a thought maybe Rob and Kristen are private people. Maybe it has nothing to do with their careers and everything to do with they don’t think their relationship is our business. That’s their job. This is their life. There’s an exclusive for you HL.

OH!!!!! Another exclusive. You guys are trying so hard today it must be killing you that you cannot figure out where they had dinner last night. No menus. No pictures of the inside. I’m really enjoying watching you guys scramble.
