'They're smitten' - Robert Pattinson thought to be dating British singer FKA Twigs

The British singer-songwriter, real name Tahliah Barnett, has been pictured out with the actor.

A source said to The Sun that the pair have been romantically involved for some time now.

They said: "It's the real deal between Rob and Tahliah. 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. 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."

The acting hunk famously dated his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart but they broke up after she cheated on him with director Rupert Sanders.

However he admitted that the affair no longer bothered him saying "s**t happens".
