From 2009 to 2013, Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were in one of the most-publicised Hollywood relationships of the last 20 years.

The fact that the pair also played screen lovers in the Twilight films only exacerbated the enormous media attention surrounding the pair, yet the fact that their relationship timeline neatly coincided with the length of the Twilight franchise caused many fans to suspect it was all a publicity stunt.

This was spurred on by a comment Stewart herself made about the relationship, that, "people wanted me and Rob to be together so badly that our relationship was made into a product. It wasn't real life anymore."

But there's absolutely nothing in the way of plausible evidence that this was anything but a real relationship.

Ultimately what's more believable - that two actors willingly entered into a fake relationship to boost Twilight's box office receipts, or that two people who played lovers on-screen fell in love for real?

Stewart later said of the rumours, "I've been deeply in love with everyone I've dated. Did you think I was faking it?," and that really says all else that needs to be said about it.
