The Real Reason Behind Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Getting Back Together

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's reconciliation came as much of a surprise to many and the timing for the duo to get back together couldn't be more right. Die-hard fans were hoping to see their favorite on-screen couple get back together off screen before the release of the last of the Twilight saga movies - "Breaking Dawn Part 2".

And that's what happened.

"The reason Rob has decided on taking her back is that they have been together for so long and became worldwide stars together, and Rob feels that he cannot have that connection with anyone else," a source close to the couple recently revealed to Hollywood Life. "He really loves her and is scared [of] what others might do to him in a relationship. He thinks that they might use him or have different intentions. He is comfortable with Kristen, and he is happy with her, and she knows it. He feels that she is the best for him."

While it has been confirmed that the duo are back together, friends of the couple report that they are taking things slow and one step and a time.

"Kristen is working hard to try and force the relationship into what it was before, but the truth is, she's going to have to take it slowly with Robert because he's still having trouble trusting her again," a source told RadarOnline. "The problem is, he can't forget her infidelity. Kristen claims that she never actually slept with Rupert Sanders, but Robert still has that nagging feeling of doubt that she did."

While many speculate that the reunion is merely a publicity stunt, veteran publicist Michael Levine disagrees, according to Zimbio.

"Obviously no one knows for sure, but I don't think - as best I can figure out - it's a stunt. It looks like a real life incident that involves two high profile people and it's almost a bit of a soap opera," said Levine, whose company Levine Communications Office has represented 58 Oscar winners. "But I see no evidence that it's a stunt created out of nothing. The idea that these two are in love in real-life makes the movie more enjoyable for fans, and that leads to more money at the box office.".
