FKA Twigs on Engagement to Robert Pattinson: 'Who Said I Was Getting Married?'

ABC/Fred Lee(LONDON) — British singer FKA Twigs is finally addressing those rumors that she’s engaged to her boyfriend, Twilight actor Robert Pattinson.

“Who told you I was getting married? You might read somewhere I’m a monkey and it doesn’t mean I am,” she said during an interview with The Sunday Times“I’m not prepared to talk about my private life. I don’t really understand the fascination.”

Engagement rumors started back in April when rapper T-Pain told Vulture that FKA is “engaged now, so that’s about to be a whole other thing.” He later said it was an April Fool’s joke. But two sources told People magazine that the two were indeed engaged. Pattinson and Twigs have been dating since September 2014. 

Still, FKA is comfortable with opening up about the racist tweets she’s received since being linked to Pattinson. In fact, one flurry of tweets brought her to tears.

FKA explained that it all started after a fan shared a photo of himself with a cancer-stricken friend, saying that her music helped him cope. But once she responded to the fan, Twitter trolls attacked him.

“Within 20 seconds it was just like n***a, monkey, ugly, die b***h all this stuff on his feed. It broke my heart…this lady who is really sick and is probably going to die,” she added.
