Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse have reportedly adopted a more low-key lifestyle following the birth of their first child, according to sources close to the couple.

The actor, 39, and the singer-actress, 34, welcomed a daughter in March 2024 after dating privately for several years. While both remain active professionally, insiders say parenthood has significantly reshaped their day-to-day routines and priorities.

Once frequent attendees at red carpets and industry events, Pattinson and Waterhouse are now said to prefer staying home and focusing on family life. Sources describe their current lifestyle as intentionally domestic, centered around childcare and quieter evenings rather than Hollywood nightlife.

Pattinson’s retreat from public social scenes aligns with his long-standing discomfort with fame following the success of Twilight. In past interviews, he has spoken openly about the pressures of constant attention and his desire to maintain privacy. Becoming a father, sources say, has further reinforced his preference for a more grounded and controlled environment.

Waterhouse is also believed to play a role in the couple’s shift toward a slower pace. Friends describe her as naturally drawn to a homely, routine-based lifestyle, often favoring comfort and simplicity away from the spotlight.

Despite their quieter personal life, both continue to maintain demanding careers. Waterhouse released new music in 2025 and signed a fresh record deal, while Pattinson has multiple high-profile projects in development, including upcoming film sequels.

According to sources, the couple has not stepped back from ambition but has become more selective about how they spend their time. With a young child at home, family is now said to be their primary focus, with professional commitments carefully balanced around parenthood.
