Robert Pattinson, FKA Twigs spotted holding hands in Venice Beach

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs appear to have confirmed their relationship.

The 28-year-old actor and 26-year-old singer were spotted holding hands and cuddling up in Venice Beach on Sunday. The pair were first seen together in New York in August, and have declined to address the dating rumors.

"I think that I like to keep my personal life personal," FKA Twigs, real name Tahliah Barnett, told The Mirror earlier this month.

"It's the real deal between Rob and Tahliah," a source previously told The Sun. "They had been able to keep their relationship secret until recently, but they're already smitten. He's been taking her on dates for the last month or so, and has even flown her out to stay with him in New York. He also loves going to her gigs."

"The main thing for Tahliah is that the relationship remains low key," the insider continued. "She wants to be known for her music, not just as Robert Pattinson's girlfriend. She's worried about being bogged down by constant comparisons to Kristen [Stewart]."

Pattinson and Stewart met on the set of Twilight in 2008, and were together for four years. The relationship ended after photos surfaced of the actress kissing then-married director Rupert Sanders in July 2012.
