Although FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson have persevered, Twigs said, “I wouldn’t say I’m completely numb to it now, but there’s definitely a numbness there.”
She continued, “But ultimately, I’m in an amazing relationship. So it doesn’t matter.”
As for dealing with the press and the prying questions about Robert Pattinson, she said, “If this is what being an artist is, I’m not really sure this is for me. This [the press cycle] is horrific. I could be doing dance class right now.”
Most recently the pair was seen at Coachella to check out Drake’s set.
