Robert Pattinson Spent Xmas Eve With His Best Friend Tom Sturridge’s Ex-Girlfriend, Nettie

We told you Robert spent Dec. 24 with his pals at a pub in London and we bet we know why Tom Sturridge’s ex was talking his ear off — any idea?

Robert Pattinson is such a good guy! The 25-year-old was reportedly spotted at The Sun Inn in Barnes, London on Christmas Eve and many Robsten fans were worried because Rob spent most of the evening talking rather closely to a pretty brunette. But HollywoodLife.com can tell you the girl’s name is Nettie and Rob’s been friends with her for years!
Nettie and Tom Sturridge dated for years before they split up just last year. She went on many double dates with Rob and Kristen Stewart, so it’s no surprise that she was thrilled to see Rob on Christmas Eve!
Remember the adorable photos of all of them at Tom’s sister’s wedding reception? To see photos of Rob and Kristen with Nettie a the wedding, click here. But now that Tom is dating actress Sienna Miller, we bet it’s rare that Nettie gets a chance to run into Rob. We think it’s awesome that Rob lent an ear to an old friend, we bet she had plenty to say!
We told you this is the second year Rob and Kristen have spent Christmas apart. Rob hung at a pub in London over Christmas Eve last year too — we love how he’s such an easy guy to please!
We’re just so excited because we hear that Rob and Kristen will reunite in LA for New Year’s Eve. They’re expected to have a multi-course gourmet dinner with five of their closest friends at Rob’s favorite hotel, the Palihouse Holloway, in West Hollywood. We wonder if Tom and Sienna will be joining them?
