Reps Never Confirmed Robert Pattinson-Kristen Stewart Dating to Oprah

Truth rating: 0

(GettyImages.com)

“Rob & Kristen Confirm They’re Dating — to Oprah!” screams a headline that sent Twilight fans into a frenzy this afternoon.

According to an E! Online story, when the cameras weren’t rolling on Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Dakota Fanning – for an episode to air May 13 –  Oprah Winfrey asked Pattinson and Stewart backstage if they were really a couple.

The report claims they “confirmed to Oprah backstage they are in fact dating.”

Oprah supposedly informed Pattinson and Stewart that she had to “go there” and ask on-camera if they were or weren’t together, knowing they wouldn’t address it seriously in public. But privately, “she wanted to know what was really happening.”

Says a so-called “spy”: “Obviously Oprah had to ask something during the taping, but agreed beforehand she wouldn’t be too hard on [Rob and Kristen] if they told her what was really going on. Both Rob and Kristen’s people and Summit then confirmed ahead of time [Rob and Kristen] are together and are dating. One hundred percent.”

Whether Pattinson and Stewart are dating is really up to them to discuss. Just this week in Elle magazine, Stewart said, “I would never cheapen my relationships by talking about them.”

Robsten may be together, but one thing Gossip Cop knows for a fact – after spending a good part of the day working on this – is that NO reps ever confirmed it to Oprah.

That scenario never happened, and when asked whether Oprah got the scoop off-camera because she simply had to know, a rep for the talk show queen tells Gossip Cop “it’s not true.”

    ok, Gossip Cop. I’m sorry but I due believe Oprah got her answer on the day they tap the show. I also believe that it was 100% confirmed that Kristen and Robert are a couple, due to you don’t want to LIE to Oprah or misinform anything on the show period, and Oprah along with Harpo Inc. would not want something like this spread through out the Internet or Twitter. So now that we know there together, lets give them there privacy and leave them alone. And please Gossip Cop get YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. Now that the chapter of this book is closed!

    Knew you’d get to the bottom of it. I doubted Oprah would seriously push them like that just because she would, “just have to know”. It didn’t make sense.

    Hi Gossip Cop. I do believe you are correct that no REPS confirmed they are dating. I do think there may be a possibility that they might have told Oprah personally off-camera. I’m also wondering how big a secret it is anymore. All of the cast memebers and crew who worked on Elipse have to have seen these two in action. And would they as “just friends” really spend New Year’s and Kstew’s birthday together? Plus, they’re not spending time with any other person(s), just each other. I do wish they would publicly answer so everyone would stop questioning them. Yes Kristen, if you answer they will ask for specifics but just to give them any, like you’ve done with the “are we?” question.

  • Grey Girl

    Sorry, typo – should say, ” Yes Kristen, if you answer they will ask for specifics but just DON’T give them any, like you’ve done with the “are we?” question.

  • alynn

    Pattinson and Stewart inspire really happy feelings in me. I laugh all the time thoroughly charmed by them both. That’s true whether or not they are confirmed as dating. All the swirling crazy is just cheap and weird. I wish they could get some peace to just enjoy this journey and be able to spend time together if they want to. The prying is beyond ridiculous, and it robs me of opportunities to see them in public appearances together. I really like those moments, naturally.

    I’m really proud of their separate adult crossover careers being launched with shades of OSCAR in the pipe. We’re lucky to have them around. The upcoming projects Water for Elephants and On the Road are really exciting. The Twi-franchise is astounding commercially and they’ve elevated that beyond belief while keeping their cool in the most pressure filled situations imaginable. Authenticity is no small accomplishment considering the scrutiny they endure. The idea that they are 20 and 23 years old is just amazing.

    I really frown on an industry that has to package and sell everything. Some things aren’t for sale; so, put that in a bottle and drink it. I hope they’re having fun with it all whenever and wherever they can.

    Bravo!

  • onlytracys

    Anam85, I too don’t believe that Oprah really push them in anyway. What I do believe since Oprah is a high mentor and this has been going on so long ( you just get that gut feeling and had to tell someone)that they told her as secertly, and as a close friend situation. And due to studio’s have ears,mic,etc. This was leck out. Now, due to Oprah don’t like lies lecked out, someone is trying to cover up tracks. Plus we don’t see or hear Oprah sending an tweets out saying this isn’t so. We only hearing Gossip Cop mentioning Reps, and I believe the article said this secert was told to Oprah, not Reps. So, then again GOSSIP COP get your facts straight before publishing something like this!!!!!!

    To have to say a confirmation from Rob or Kristen, would not in this case be said, as several interviews or photos, or atricles written about Rob and Kristen they have dodged all questions about relationships of them to or any their pass, as for Kristen she has mentioned serveral times over ” she would not speak about it” let alone spill it out all of the sudden for the whole world to know., Some things are kept private and that is who Kristen is and I do believe Rob too.., but I or we cant blame the 2 if they are happy in love, if they are together or not. More power to Kristen and Rob for something between those 2.. =)

  • JesseCollins

    Catherine Hardwicke, their DIRECTOR, confirmed they were together last year in TIME MAGAZINE.
    .
    Add that to the pile of evidence that exists – canoodling, smootching, date nights, living together, constant togetherness when they aren’t on location, and even when they are (I don’t know about you, but I’m married, and I wouldn’t fly to Budapest to see my husband).
    .
    So – why is this still an issue, with anyone with a brain that can process simple facts.

  • LH

    Why is anyone even continuing to ask this question? It is so obvious. You don’t fly halfway around the world to spend your birthday with a ‘buddy” that you will be seeing in a couple of weeks, anyway. They can’t even have a simple holiday together without the press and photographers hounding them. It’s sad. People just need to accept that they are a couple and leave them in peace.

  • stelange

    gossip cop. do-you-really-think oprah and her staff would let out this collosal news but oprah herself ???
    i believe the reason she invited robsten is to get them up close and get the real answer and want all this happening in her show. sorry, but i trust you guys. so let’s just wait may 13 and please stop contradicting other site (ted casablanca, love him as well), you just upset coz he let this out first. im not saying that his source is credible, but opposing him and come out with a challenging retort is purely lame.

  • lala

    translation just like every other interview they probably acted so obviously together behind the scenes that the reps backstage confirmed it however they are still coy on camera they will probably pull a Brangelina and not confirm their relationship unless she is pregnant

  • carolina22

    Oprah knows. Its why she didnt press them for it. She did the same with beyonce. She knew what was going on and let beyonce keep it to herself. They are never going to give a verbal confirmation though.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rene-Alvarado-Wood/1554610858 Rene’ Alvarado Wood

    @ Carolina 22 I agree with you! For someone that arent dating they sure are together all the time everywhere. Always alone. Never with friends. And I have been to an oprah show and she does backstage sit with her guests and go through what will be asked. I believe she did ask them and they confirmed it. And she down played it in front of the audience. I believe she wanted to respect their privacy.. So, I BELIEVE!!

  • jhanson

    OK! So if either one of them have not come through and said NO they are not dating then obviously they are. How hard is that for people to understand. If they were not a couple then it would not bother them to say no we are not.
    Seems to me Rob could care less if people know but for some reason Kristen does not want her personal life on display, which is ok. People will want more info if she admits they are dating, and that is ok too but Kristen needs to realize that people are just starstruck and very interested in her and her normal surrondings, keeping everything a secret just makes people want more, no wonder why everyone is so crazy around her she keeps them guessing for more.

    One thing a friend of mine said yesterday about all this “Are they, aren’t they” is: If they aren’t and they refuse to deny it by being ambiguous or fanning this excitement and empathy for profit and status, then there’s no stopping hatred for the betrayal the fans would feel.

    Despite the obviously sickening idea of preying upon the romantic imaginations of women (young and old) for profit, he said the backlash, if it’s found out to be just hype, would even put Milli Vanilli to shame and their careers and credibility would be unrecoverable.

    I kind of agree with that point of view.

  • Elizabeth07

    WHAT OPRAH IS SAYING IS BULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • alynn

    The entire topic has become fatiguing. There’s only so much flutter I can take before my prolactin response kicks in and I want to go make a sandwich and watch a less complicated movie franchise.

  • MahaRox666

    Y’know what? there are only 2 ways to find out if R-pattz and K-stew are dating or not
    1) if they seriously admit it themselves or
    2) if they go out AFTER breaking dawn comes out.
    I’m sure ppl would still continue to spread rumors if they take the 2nd option so don’t count on that one too much.
