He’s yet to issue a statement because he’s “in shock” says report

One of the most popular and paradoxically media-shy couples in showbiz might be history: Kristen Stewart has admitted to cheating on Robert Pattinson with Rupert Sanders in a public statement. Robert is still in too much shock to say anything.

Both Kristen and Sanders have released public apologies to their respective partners (he's married and has 2 kids) for the affair, after photos of them kissing emerged in the press.

Robert and Sanders' wife are yet to say anything about the scandal, with sources telling Radar Online that the British actor is simply too shocked to be able to formulate an official response right now.

He never expected Kristen to cheat and, now that she did, can't believe this would ever happen to him.

“Rob is in shock that Kristen cheated on him, he is absolutely devastated. But right now he doesn’t want to say anything in public until he figures out what he’s going to do,” an insider tells Radar.

“Rob is really hurt by Kristen. Catching her cheating is not at all what he expected from her,” adds the same source.

Oddly enough, only a few months ago, Robert was talking about cheating in a promo interview, the aforementioned media outlet goes on to say.

He said cheating was the one thing he could never understand, especially in couples who did not have children and, as such, had not fallen into a certain routine that might kill all romance.

“There is one thing I’ve never understood, why people cheat. My parents met when my mom was 17 and my father 25, they are still together and seem very happy. I grew up believing that you can be together all of your life,” Pattinson said.

“I understand the impulse, but not how you can maintain two relationships for long. And though I understand that cheating can happen to those who have children, because the stress can make people stray, I can’t really understand how someone free of any commitment could possibly choose to have four women at the same time. It must be like hell for a man,” he added.

“There is the idea of the saving love, I believe it. I’m not mushy but I have a romantic soul,” the handsome actor further said.

Given the magnitude of the scandal and the popularity of these two stars caught smack in the middle of it, it's not hard to understand why fans can't stop thinking about their chances of surviving it as a couple.
