Suki Waterhouse holiday plans with Robert Pattinson and their 2-year-old daughter are taking shape, and they revolve around two of her favorite things: decorating and mulled wine. The singer and actress shared a glimpse into their festive season during an exclusive interview at the 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards, presented by Amazon Fashion, on Nov. 2.
Waterhouse, who is engaged to the Twilight actor, said the tradition she is most anticipating is dressing the Christmas tree. She also revealed a strong fondness for mulled wine and is eager to return to London to enjoy plenty of it. In fact, she plans to make her own batch and give it as gifts, joking that her enthusiasm for the drink is a bit dangerous.
“I go big at Christmas,” she said, adding that she is excited for the season. The couple, who got engaged in December 2023 after five years of dating, are looking forward to celebrating with their little one.
Balancing Work and Parenthood
While the holidays are a joyful time, Waterhouse acknowledged that balancing a career and raising a child is an ongoing process. She described the experience as becoming a juggler, though she noted that everyone is juggling something. Overall, she said she is having a great time with her daughter.
Motherhood has also influenced her approach to style. Waterhouse emphasized the importance of wardrobe staples such as great leather jackets, coats, boots, and belts. She explained that having a structured outfit helps set a positive tone for the day. For fashion inspiration, she looks to figures from the 1960s and 1970s, including Anita Pallenberg, Patti Smith, Pattie Boyd, and Marianne Faithfull. She said she loves boyish clothes and vintage sourcing.
A Relationship in the Spotlight
Waterhouse and Pattinson first sparked romance rumors in July 2018 when they were photographed on a date night in London. They made their red carpet debut as a couple in December 2022 at Dior’s fashion show in Egypt. In May 2023, they turned the Met Gala into a date night, and that October they attended the GO Campaign’s 17th annual GO Gala in Hollywood.
About two weeks after Waterhouse confirmed her pregnancy, the pair stepped out for the New York premiere of Poor Things. In February 2023, she offered rare insight into their relationship, telling The Sunday Times that she is always excited when his name pops up on her phone or when she receives a text, and she believes he feels the same. She added that they always have plenty to say and that she finds him hilarious. She also joked that Pattinson does not get acting advice from her, but she will try to get him to help her with an audition before he falls asleep on the sofa.
The couple welcomed their daughter in April 2023, with Waterhouse announcing the news on Instagram with the message “welcome to the world angel.” They made their first official joint appearance since becoming parents at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Pacific Palisades, Calif., on Oct. 5, 2024.
As the holiday season approaches, Waterhouse is clearly ready to embrace the festivities with her family, from tree trimming to homemade mulled wine.
