Most millennials can, for better or worse, clearly recall the time now-president Donald Trump weighed in on Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s breakup scandal — and Jennifer Lawrence is no exception.
“I mean, if you think I didn’t ask him about Donald Trump tweeting about the breakup with Kristen, obviously,” Lawrence, 35, quipped on the Thursday, October 23, episode of The Graham Norton Show, when asked about bonding with Die My Love costar Pattinson, 39.
After fellow guest Jeremy Allen White revealed that he “doesn’t remember that at all,” Lawrence offered further context.
“It was, like, three days after the photos came out with her with, you know, whatever. Young people make mistakes,” Lawrence said. “And Donald Trump was like, ‘He better leave her. He can do better than her,’ going on a huge rant.”
Kristen Stewart’s Dating History: From Robert Pattinson to Dylan Meyer
Pattinson and Stewart, now 35, dated from 2019 to 2013 after playing love interests in the Twilight franchise. Us Weekly exclusively reported in July 2012 that Stewart was seen packing on the PDA with director Robert Sanders, sparking affair and split speculation. The breakup rumors eventually reached then-reality TV star Trump, now 79.
“[Kristen] cheated on him like a dog and will do it again — just watch. He can do much better,” Trump wrote via X at the time.
Stewart has since been vocal about Trump’s apparent hate about her breakup.
“Of course, he had to weigh in on my tarring and feathering. It’s like, ‘What is this 20-year-old who has no idea about life doing to this man?’” Stewart recalled to Rolling Stone in a 2024 profile. “He’s such a little baby.”
After her respective connections with Pattinson and Sanders, Stewart publicly came out as gay during her 2017 appearance on Saturday Night Live.
“I’m a little nervous to be hosting because I know the president’s probably watching, and, um, I don’t think he likes me that much,” she said in her opening monologue at the time, referring to Trump. “Here’s how I know: four years ago I was dating this guy named Robert, and we broke up and we got back together, and for some reason, it made Donald Trump go insane.”
She continued, “The president is not a huge fan of me, which is so OK, because Donald, if you didn’t like me then, you’re really probably not going to like me now because I’m hosting SNL and I’m, like, so gay, dude.”
Stewart married Dylan Meyer earlier this year, while Pattinson has since moved on with singer Suki Waterhouse. Pattinson and Waterhouse, 33, welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 2024.
In addition to his home life with Waterhouse, Pattinson recently teamed up with Lawrence on Die My Love.
“I had my girlfriends over. We were in our pajamas. We were watching Little Women [and] because Rob is one of the girls, he wants to gossip,” Lawrence said on Thursday, revealing how she bonded with Pattinson between takes. “He is one of the girls. So I was like, ‘Come over.’ He’s also like my daughter. He’s a great father, he’s a professional, he shows up on time, but I wouldn’t trust that he, like, put a coat on. He brings out a very maternal [side in me].”
