Robert Pattinson is embracing fatherhood—one special scent at a time.
The Twilight actor recently shared a rare glimpse into life with his and fiancée Suki Waterhouse’s baby girl, revealing that it wasn’t until he became a dad himself that he finally understood the lore behind babies having a distinct pleasant scent.
“I thought they were just smelling the baby powder. But then I had a baby, and I was like: ‘My baby smells incredible,’” Pattinson, 38, told Vogue in a profile published Jan. 18. “There’s something there, I can identify her. She doesn’t smell like other babies.”
The Batman star’s comments about life with his little girl come nearly one year after he and Waterhouse—who got engaged in 2023 after five years of dating—welcomed their daughter.
Waterhouse, 33, had announced she was pregnant during her performance at the Corona Capital Festival in November 2023. Dressed in a sequined pink dress adorned in feathers, she told the crowd, “I’m extra sparkly today because I thought it might distract you from something else that’s going on,” before unveiling her baby bump.
In a similar fashion, the Daisy Jones & The Six actor was onstage four months later at Coachella when she confirmed her and Pattinson’s daughter had arrived. “I don’t know if some of you know, but I had some big life changes happen recently,” she announced while gracing the stage. “I love amazing ladies, and I’ve been lucky to have my own little amazing lady and meet the love of my life.”
In the months since, she’s shared occasional photo and glimpse inside their family. In fact, Waterhouse recently revealed her most “amazing” activity to do with Pattinson and their daughter.
“We have a routine of putting her in the swimming pool and jumping in and out of the pool,” she said on Today in December. “That’s just always the most fun. End of the day, 5 p.m., we all get in the pool and be silly.”
