Jennifer Lawrence Reveals She Asked Robert Pattinson About Kristen Stewart’s Cheating Scandal

Published: Oct 27 2025

Robert Pattinson displayed a commendable lack of resentment towards Jennifer Lawrence's inquisitive questions. The alum of "The Hunger Games" franchise admitted, during the filming of their latest project, "Die My Love," that she delved into his romantic history with "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart and the cheating scandal that brought an end to their four-year relationship. "If you think I didn't ask him about Donald Trump tweeting about his breakup with Kristen, I mean, obviously," Jennifer, now 35, joked during her October 17 appearance on "The Graham Norton Show." "It was like three days after the photos surfaced and Trump was all, 'He better leave her!'"

Indeed, the then-President joined the chorus of voices after the July 2012 release of images showing Kristen, also 35, kissing her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders. At the time of the scandal, Rupert was married to Liberty Ross—with whom he shares two children—but she filed for divorce six months later. Meanwhile, Kristen publicly apologized to Robert for the "momentary indiscretion," and the duo continued dating until their June 2013 split.

Despite her curiosity about the situation, Jennifer didn't judge Kristen's past actions. In fact, she showed the "Love Lies Bleeding" star—now married to Dylan Meyer—some grace, exclaiming, "Young people make mistakes!" Furthermore, Robert and Kristen have made it clear that they're still on good terms over a decade later. In November 2023, "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke revealed that she and Kristen crashed Robert's birthday party.

This isn't the first time the mother of two—kids Cy, 3, and 7-month-old Louie with husband Cooke Maroney—shared a glimpse into her offbeat friendship with Robert. In the same interview, she revealed that she fed the 39-year-old actor leftover food from her dinner party. While it was a sweet gesture, she actually retrieved the scraps from her trash. "He comes in, and I give him a hug and he's like, 'You have any food? I'm so hungry.' And I'm like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come in. Come in,'" Jennifer explained. "And then he goes to the bathroom, and I do have food, but it's in the trash. So while he was in the bathroom, I was pulling food out of my garbage can." Her friends were stunned to see her sifting through the trash for food, but Robert—now a father to a 17-month-old daughter with Suki Waterhouse—eventually emerged from the bathroom and ate what she had salvaged. "We're all just kind of watching him eat this trash," she continued. "Then when he was finished, he was like, 'I'm still hungry.' So he just pulled it out of the trash and kept eating it."
