Stephenie Meyer Says Robsten's Relationship Troubles Are "Tragic"

Twilight author Stephenie Meyer is currently promoting her new book, The Host, and while she's been answering questions about her latest literary masterpiece, reporters seem more interested in her take on Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's relationship.

"Here's the thing: there are some actors who are looking to be world famous, to be that household name, and although they might discover that there are a lot of negative things involved in that, it's what they want," Meyer told U.K. publication The Times.

"But that doesn't apply to Kristen and Rob," says. "That's what makes it kind of ironic and tragic ... I just don't think they enjoy the parts [of fame] that other people would. And I totally get that, because it would not be my thing either ... If they had the choice, I've no idea if they'd even do Twilight again. I just don't know. I think this has all come at a heavy price."

After the news came out that Kristen cheated on Rob with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders last spring, the couple split, only to get back together last fall. Despite making the rounds to promote the final Twilight film, Breaking Dawn - Part Two, the two haven't been seen together in months, as Rob is in Australia shooting The Rover.

Robsten's current relationship status is not known, though she has been hanging out with his friends, so maybe they're keeping a close eye on her and reporting back to Rob until he gets back?
