'When you're the one who's heartbroken, it's pretty rough': Suki Waterhouse reveals 'colossal heartbreak' in her 20s led to 'depressing' comparisons with ex-partner's 'beautiful new girlfriend'
These days her private life flies largely under the radar, but one assumes that happens when you find yourself in a steady, committed relationship - even when the partner in question is one of Britain's most eligible stars.
It's a notable transition for Suki Waterhouse, whose five-year relationship with Robert Pattinson was preceded by a string of high-profile failed romances - among them a two-year association with Hollywood star Bradley Cooper.
The former couple enjoyed a torrid relationship until 2015, when their separation coincided with Cooper seamlessly embarking on a new relationship with Russian supermodel Irina Shayk.
Reflecting on her romantically unstable twenties, Waterhouse, now 31 and establishing herself as a promising singer-songwriter, admits her new music has been inspired by the 'colossal heartbreak' she suffered during that turbulent chapter.
'I was kind of depressed for a while,' she told The Sunday Times Style magazine. 'It stuck around for a long time. I think it was just the break-up and also just being in my twenties and in the f***ing trenches.'

Waterhouse, who began her career as a model in her own right before forging separate paths as an actress and singer, also admits to growing weary of relentless comparisons with her former boyfriend's new partner.
'You constantly read about how much more beautiful the new girlfriend is or whatever,' she said. 'That sounds silly, but when you're actually the one that's heartbroken, it's pretty rough.'
The actress is now settled with Pattinson while juggling her burgeoning music career with a new role in forthcoming Amazon Prime series Daisy Jones & The Six.
'I'm always incredibly excited when I see his name pop up [on my phone],' she admitted. 'Or even a text, and I think he feels the same about me.
'We've always got so much to say and I find him hilarious.'
