Suki Waterhouse keeps her left hand hidden as rarely seen couple enjoy a night out in London

Rumours of a Christmas proposal remained unconfirmed as Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse made their latest appearance in London on Sunday evening.

The rarely seen couple were hand in hand as they strolled through vibrant Notting Hill after leaving local bar-restaurant, where they were accompanied by a small group of friends.

But after claims of a potential proposal from Twilight star Robert, Suki’s left hand remained hidden beneath the sleeve of her oversized ski jacket as they made their way home.

On a chilly night in the capital, fashion conscious Suki added to her look with a pair of skinny jeans, while knee length black boots and a casual baseball cap rounded things off. 

Joining his girlfriend, Robert looked equally relaxed in a hooded jacket, sweater and baggy chinos while clutching a large takeaway bag. 

Despite being notoriously private about their relationship. the couple are said to be taking their relationship to the next level by spending the festive season at model Suki’s family home in West London. 

The Mail On Sunday report that Robert has lined up a trip to Iceland as a gift for his 27-year-old girlfriend. But even more exciting is the talk among their friends that the actor may ask Suki’s father Norman and mother Elizabeth for their daughter’s hand in marriage.

There it is: Suki’s right hand was cl,early visible as she linked arms with her boyfriend, but her left hand remained out of sight 

‘Suki and Robert are a great influence on each other, which is why he is spending Christmas with the Waterhouses,’ a family friend revealed. 

‘Suki encourages him to be more relaxed and Robert keeps her grounded when she’s feeling anxious. As they’re spending Christmas together, it’s the perfect opportunity for him to ask for Suki’s hand. Lots of people, including Norman, are hoping that he pops the question.’

The stars were first linked in July 2018 when they were spotted leaving a showing of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again at the trendy Electric Cinema in Notting Hill. They then headed to nearby Soho House for late-night drinks.
