Robert Pattinson becomes a father – and brings the Twilight fans out of their lair

After five years of dating, Robert Pattinson and his girlfriend Suki Waterhouse took the next step: the 31-year-old announced on Monday that she and the Twilight star are expecting their first child together. Memes are now piling up on TikTok and Instagram. Because: Twilight fans haven’t forgotten what it was like when Pattinson became a ‘father’ for the first time in the role of Edward in Twilight.

But, first things first: The announcement of the pregnancy must also be told. She is super sweet!

Suki Waterhouse took the stage on Monday for the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico. The singer wore a tight-fitting glitter dress in which her belly was clearly visible. The Brit then said: “I thought I’d wear something sparkly today to distract from the obvious,” as she rubbed her stomach with a grin.

The announcement not only made fans very happy, but also caused a wave of memes. Anyone who has seen Twilight knows that Robert Pattinson’s character Edward became a father in the film adaptation. The internet is making fun of this now.

To understand these jokes, you have to understand their background. Here’s a quick crash course:

Twilight tells the love triangle between Bella Swan, the vampire Edward Cullen and the werewolf Jacob Black. Bella initially cannot choose between Edward and Jacob and the series’ fanbase is also divided into Team Edward and Team Jacob. spoiler (the movies are old, it’s your own fault if you haven’t seen them): Bella chooses Edward and has a child with him. When the half-vampire Renesmee is born, Jacob “imprints” himself on the baby.

The official Twilight Wiki explains “imprinting” this way: “It’s not necessarily love at first sight. It’s as if the Earth’s gravity is no longer pulling on you, but only on this one person. Whether as a lover, protector or friend.” In short: Jacob falls in love with a newborn baby. Foreign.

This story is now the template for most memes. Here’s an overview:

“Taylor Lautner needs to stay away from the child.” FYI: Taylor Lautner plays Jacob in Twilight.

“Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse now have the chance to do the funniest thing in the world and name their child Renesmee.”

“Will it be a CGI baby?” – especially funny when you consider that Renesmee was created using CGI and looked like this in the Twilight movies:

Some mourn their missed opportunity to become the baby’s mother:

Some are cruel:

“Robert Pattinson is going to be a father, that’s why I blocked Suki Waterhouse.”

The question everyone is asking themselves now: will it be a Robert Pattison or a Robert Pattdaughter? Höhö.
