Rob says they're together ~

“Twilight” teenthrob Robert Pattinson is finally coming clean about his relationship with co-star Kristen Stewart - and, it’s what Twi-hards have been suspecting all along.

“It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes,” Pattinson admitted to London’s The Sun at Sunday’s Bafta Academy Awards in the U.K.

The duo have been closed-mouthed about their relationship, but they had planned to make their first public appearance as a couple at the Baftas. Sadly, due to safety precautions, Pattinson, 23, and Stewart, 19, were forced to arrive separately.

“We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy,” Pattinson explained. “This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple, but it’s impossible. We are here together and it’s a public event but it’s not easy”

He added that the two often have to create distractions in order to be together publicly. “We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention.”

Stewart, who picked up the Orange Rising Star award at the ceremony, later joined her “Twilight” co-star at a Grey Goose-sponsored afterparty at the Grosvenor House Hotel.

Stewart was snapped leaving the soiree around midnight with Pattinson, who is in town filming “Bel Ami” with Uma Thurman.

The next installment in the “Twilight” saga, “Eclipse,” hits U.S. theaters June 30.
