What’s going on?’ I go, ‘I kinda crashed it with Toni.’ And she goes, ‘Well I crashed it too.” She narrated that Kristen had “rang the bell at the gate” and checked if it would be “cool” if she crashed the party.

This comes after a decade of the Twilight co-star calling it quits on their relationship. In the interview, Hardwicke also recalled the time that they were deeply in love while filming Twilight. She shared that it did not come to her as a shock when she got to know that they were dating. However, the relationship did not pan out like it was supposed to. The actors were very young when the media started scrutinizing their relationship. Kristen told Harper’s Bazaar, “In trying to control one aspect, we were just like, ‘No, we will never talk about it. Never. Because it’s ours’.” What followed was a cheating scandal that made headlines globally. Kristen Stewart had cheated on Pattinson with Rupert Sanders and their break-up was reported a year later.
While the public breakup was really hard on the actors, they have moved on with their lives. Kristen Stewart is currently engaged to Dylan Meyer. On the other hand, Robert Pattinson and his girlfriend Suki Waterhouse are expecting their first child.
