Suki Waterhouse is revealing what it’s been like living with her boyfriend, Robert Pattinson.

The model, 31, and the Twilight actor, 37, have been dating since 2018 but only recently made the decision to move in together about six months ago.

In a new interview on Apple’s Driven Minds: A Type 7 podcast presented by Gillian Sagansky and released Wednesday, Waterhouse opened up about how Pattinson has been “so accepting of the mess” after she moved out of her apartment and into his space.

“I’ve been having such a crushing weight of anxiety because I've moved. I wasn't there for the move, so everything just got boxed up and sent,” the Daisy Jones and The Six actress told Sagansky after noting that she’d enlisted the help of a “professional cleaner” to come in and help her to organize her belongings.

She added that even parting ways with her plants has been a personal challenge “because I've moved in with my boyfriend now, and I always used to live alone.”

As Sagansky pointed out that living with a significant other could be “a big move,” the model noted that Pattinson hasn’t raised any qualms.

“It doesn't feel like that much of a crazy thing. And I'm very lucky because he is so accepting of the mess and the chaos. He never says anything about it,” Waterhouse shared. “He kind of thinks it’s like, charming. So I'm very lucky for that.”

During the podcast, Waterhouse said “it felt extra special” when she and The Batman talent began dating because they met after she’d taken on “a bout of celibacy.”

When asked what prompted her to choose abstinence, the Love, Rosie actress discussed past relationship disappointments as a contributing factor.

“I've been ghosted and broken up with after dating someone for a year, that was pretty bad,” the model said. “But it turned out to be brilliant because I took it like a bout of celibacy.”

According to Waterhouse, the celibacy lasted for roughly six months.

Prior to Pattinson, the London-born actress said she’d dated her fair share of individuals with red flags, including a narcissist and people who were “just cheating on you all the time.”

“It's really f----- up,” she added.

Sagansky asked Waterhouse if there was anything about her current relationship that made it more successful than the ones before, the entertainer admitted that she’s at a better place in life now.

“Maybe for me, it was about actually feeling ready in a way that I haven't before, that I actually had something to give. I've sat with myself — have been in a couple of different kinds of relationships,” Waterhouse said, adding that she prefers peace.

“I actually have something to share now. I have, like, a life that I'm proud of that I want to share with someone and I'm stable and I have my s--- together.”

And when looking back at her parents’ “rocky” relationship, that didn’t stop her from possibly wanting kids down the line, just not as many.

“I don't think I would have four,” she told Sagansky.

The pair also discussed mental health, with The Divergent Series: Insurgent talent admitting she deals with anxiety but that she usually navigates the feeling with “a big cry.”
