If you were watching the third hour of The TODAY Show on Thursday (Sept. 12), then you got to see Suki Waterhouse give some insight into what life is like as a new parent with husband-to-be, Robert Pattinson. 

For those who missed the segment, don’t worry – we’ve got the scoop!

Waterhouse was invited onto the show to promote the upcoming release of her new 18-track double album, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, which will be available worldwide on Friday (Sept. 13) from Sub Pop.

During the interview, one of the hosts congratulated Suki on the birth of her first child and asked her how she’s adjusting to everything – not just being a first-time mother, but balancing it with her busy career. 

While she admitted that it’s a lot to handle, it doesn’t pale in comparison to the love she has for her child. 

“It’s just that love, just completely and utterly besotted. I didn’t know that it would be this good,” she told TODAY – which inspired Craig Melvin to ask who changes more diapers between her and her fiance.

“I would say I change more diapers, but diaper changing – he really excels at it and enjoys it. He thinks it’s fun,” she said – adding that it’s “the surprise” of everything that Robert seems to enjoy the most. 

A look back at Suki and Robert’s relationship thus far

Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse first crossed paths at a star-studded Werewolf game night in Los Angeles in 2018, but the media didn’t catch wind of their secret relationship until July of that year. 

Pattinson was asked about the relationship in an April 2019 interview with The Sunday Times, but he declined to comment on it. “If you let people in, it devalues what love is,” he said during the interview. 

Paparazzi continued to spot them on various dates over the next two years and they made several small hints at being in a relationship during various interviews, but the relationship was still very much hidden. 

In April 2021, Suki Waterhouse ended a several-month hiatus by posting a photo of herself on Instagram. It didn’t take long for fans to notice a framed photograph sitting on a shelf in the background of the selfie. 

It was, of course, a photograph of Pattinson kissing her on the cheek – again, confirming the relationship.

Robert Pattinson finally opens up about his ‘girlfriend’

Fans had to wait a long time for Robert Pattinson to open up about his girlfriend, but they finally caught a glimpse of it in February 2022 during a string of interviews for his highly-coveted The Batman press tour. 

In a GQ interview, he talked about a time when his “girlfriend” wouldn’t stop talking to the repairmen. 

“The guy came around the other day and he just randomly started talking about what a DC fan he is,” Pattinson said. “And I’m sitting there facing the other direction, and my girlfriend just keeps continuing the conversation with him. And I’m looking at her like, ‘Why are you doing this to me? She was very entertaining. Just talking to an obsessive fan.’”

He brought his “girlfriend” up in another interview later that month – this time on Jimmy Kimmel Live – and discussed how her reaction to the movie changed his own perspective of the film. 

“I’m pretty sure she’s not normally into watching superhero movies,” he said. “Just seeing that it was capturing her attention the entire time … then she just held my hand and just touched it … I could feel a little tear. I was like, No way.”

Pattinson and Waterhouse Make Their Red Carpet Debut

Towards the end of 2022, fans got what they had been wishing for when Pattinson and Waterhouse made their official red carpet debut at the Dior Pre-Fall 2023 menswear show in Giza, Egypt on Dec. 3, 2022.

Suki went on to open up about their relationship in a Feb. 2023 interview with The Sunday Times. In that interview, she said she admitted to being “shocked that I’m so happy with someone for nearly five years.”

She added that she’s “always incredibly excited when I see his name pop up (on my phone) or even a text, and I think he feels the same about me,” adding that he’s “hilarious” and they have “so much to say.” 

The couple was also seen at the 2023 Met Gala just a few months later.

After dodging pregnancy rumors for several months, Suki Waterhouse blew everyone away with her look at the red carpet for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony – which was held on Jan. 15, 2024. 

Not only did she stun in her red dress, but her look also featured a baby bump!

“I had to hold it for fitting – it was just me, like, holding it to my body,” she said while laughing, according to E! News. “So they had to take it apart and … redesign this dress to make it make it fit the bump. But it does and I’m really happy that it was so stunning.”

Three months later, Suki Waterhouse shared the first photo of her child on Instagram with the caption, “welcome to the world angel.” At this time, it remains unclear when she gave birth and what the baby’s name or gender is.
