Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart: How True Are The Wedding Rumors?

Kristen Stewart is only 22, but, according to numerous gossip outets, she's ready to settle down and become Mrs. Robert Pattinson. Stewart, who has been quietly dating Pattinson since 2009, was reportedly spotted ogling engagement rings at Neil Lane in West Hollywood, Calif. In Touch magazine claims that the sighting proves a Robsten wedding is imminent.

So how true are these stories of the couple's rumored nuptials?

Fictitious stories about the pair have been rampant since they began filming "Twilight" in 2008. More specifically, reports of impending matrimony have been perpetuated since 2009, when it became clear that they were an off-screen couple.

Two separate OK! Magazine cover stories, one released in 2009 and the other released in 2012, featured the headline "Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart: Wedding of the Year!" Both issues claimed the two were making extensive plans to walk down the aisle, citing "close friends" as sources. OK! falsely reported that Pattinson proposed in 2009 and again in 2010. So far this year, the mag has released the details of Pattinson and Stewart's honeymoon as well as their plans to have a baby.

In 2011, In Touch alleged the two were married during a "Secret Wedding in England."

Based on the immeasurable number of false stories on the couple's relationship status, the engagement gossip is likely unwarranted.

With the success of the "Twilight" franchise, the twosome have become one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples. Their refusal to publicly acknowledge their relationship has made candid photos of the couple a hot commodity for the paparazzi. Furthermore, tabloids have little to go on when developing stories on the notoriously private stars.

As of now, the only evidence of marriage has been their on-screen wedding in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn."

"The wedding scene's funny because we used a real priest. So technically we are already married because he did all the things you would do in a normal ceremony," Pattinson joked during a press conference for the film.

Stewart and Pattinson will play married vampires in "Breaking Dawn: Part 2," slated for release on Nov. 16.
