Robert Pattinson may be Batman, but he’s also got another superpower.
The Mickey 17 actor, 38, revealed that he’s become something of a pro at changing diapers since welcoming his first child — a daughter — with actress and singer Suki Waterhouse in March 2024.
“I’m an expert, like, the stealth nappy when the baby doesn’t even know they’ve had their nappy changed,” Pattinson shared with Extra at the London red carpet premiere of Mickey 17 on Thursday, February 13.
Pattinson also gushed about how his little girl is already letting mom and dad sleep through the night.
Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse have been dating on and off since July 2018, but it’s mostly been under the radar — or, perhaps, more accurately, right under our noses. The British pair are tight-lipped about their private life together and, according to Pattinson, that’s by choice. “If you let people in, it devalues what […]
“I hate boasting about it, but my daughter’s been, like, the most incredible sleeper since birth,” he said.
Pattinson and Waterhouse, 33, have been dating since 2018 and have been relatively private about their daughter since she arrived last year.
Pattinson gushed about the little one at the Dior Homme Menswear Spring/Summer 2025 Show in Paris, France in June 2024, telling a reporter, “She’s so cute. And, you know, I’m amazed by how quickly their personality comes. So even at 3 months, I’m like, ‘Oh … I can kinda see who she is already.’”
In an interview with Vogue published in January, the actor also talked about another unexpected parenting skill.
“I remember people used to be like, ‘Oh, don’t you like the smell of babies?’ but I thought they were just smelling the baby powder,” he said. “But then I had a baby, and I was like, ‘My baby smells incredible.’ There’s something there, I can identify her. She doesn’t smell like other babies.”
For her part, Waterhouse has gushed about her man’s parenting skills. “He’s the greatest!” Waterhouse gushed at the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2024.
Waterhouse also told Today in September that Pattinson even loved changing their daughter’s diapers. “He thinks it’s fun,” she said. “The surprise, and everything.”
The singer has previously talked about how great her relationship with Pattinson is. “I’m shocked that I’m so happy with someone for nearly five years,” she told The Sunday Times in 2023. “I’m always incredibly excited when I see his name pop up [on my phone] or even a text, and I think he feels the same about me. We’ve always got so much to say, and I find him hilarious.”
