Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who were once the ‘it couple’ of Hollywood, were head over heels in love with each other. However, as they mutually agreed to part ways, the Twilight couple, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan actors, was once asked not to date by the production team. Their love grew as the filming of the first Twilight movies began and ended by the end of the franchise’s last film, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 released in 2012.
The couple were pretty tight-lipped about their dating life, which added to Twilight movies’ hype. Their relationship might have ignited the buzz for the audiences, but Summit Entertainment, the studio that produced all five Twilight movies, wasn’t thrilled about the relationship between Robert and Kristen.
Ashley Greene, who played Alice Cullen in the film adaptations of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight novels, recalled a backstory on the Twilight rewatch podcast, The Twilight Effect. She revealed the studio wasn’t in support of Pattinson and Stewart dating saying, “The studio advised against it.” She added, “They saw how successful Twilight was, and the last thing they want is for the couple to get together and then hate each other and then the chemistry to be gone and that’s it. So I kind of get that.”
