And Pattinson's aunt Diana Nutley hopes that things stay that way and the love rumours are false. "I don't think it would be a good idea for Robert to be in a serious relationship with Kristen. How can he live his life with a fellow star, with their every move being watched just like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes?" Contactmusic quoted her as telling U.S. magazine Life and Style.
