Robert Pattinson’s playful reaction to Suki Waterhouse’s ex songs: "No One's Better Than Me"
Suki Waterhouse is candid about Robert Pattinson’s take on her songs about past relationships — and it’s a clearer answer than you might expect.
Suki Waterhouse says the at-home soundtrack sometimes includes breakup anthems about other men — and Robert Pattinson just laughs. In a new Vogue interview, she described her partner’s completely unbothered reaction when her lyrics revisit old flames.
“He has a lot of humour about that kind of stuff. He couldn’t really give a s***. He’s like, ‘No one’s better than me, so whatever.’”
Waterhouse’s songs often mine past heartbreak — including tracks on her album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin — but Pattinson, she said, treats them like sport. If something he does annoys her, he can even “earn a rubbish song.” His own musical idea? An EDM track, which she greeted with a raised eyebrow.
The couple first met at a game night in Los Angeles and now share a 2-year-old daughter. Waterhouse also said one ex, musician Miles Kane, reached out to compliment her track “My Fun,” proof that not everyone in the back catalog is taking offense.
