Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson pictured together for the first time since scandal
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have been pictured together for the first time since news broke of her affair with married director Rupert Sanders back in July.
The on-again couple was seen together chatting with friends in Hollywood on Monday after several sightings of them together over the weekend.
The Twilight stars both wore backwards baseball caps and sunglasses as they hung around outside a restaurant.
Sporting cut off denim shorts and a white T-shirt, Kristen Stewart looked relaxed in Robert Pattinson’s company.
Robert Pattinson meanwhile, looked his usual low-key self in a well worn vintage T-shirt and a smattering of stubble.
Monday’s sighting comes after the pair were spotted enjoying the Los Angeles nightlife together over the weekend.
Entertainment Tonight has published a still of the Twilight pair together on its website, taken on Sunday night at the Ye Rustic Inn, a bar in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood.

It comes following reports Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were out together on Saturday night at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont, according to Hollywoodlife.com.
Sources told ET that Kristen Stewart, 22, and Robert Pattinson, 26, spent more than four hours at the bar on Sunday and even “cosied up to each other”.
They were joined by around 10 friends, according to onlookers and appeared in good spirits as the laughed and joked over drinks.
Witnesses also spoke Us Weekly regarding R-Patz and K-Stew’s outing on Saturday night at the Chateau.
Two separate witnesses saw the couple at the nightspot, with one telling the publication they “snuck into the garden from a private side entrance”.
A second onlooker said Robert Pattinson was wearing a baseball cap and both were casually dressed in jeans and T-shirts and “whispering very close and intimately”.
A friend close to the couple explained: “They’re afraid of backlash, so they’re keeping things on the down-low.”
The sightings come ahead of their hotly-anticipated red carpet turn next month, when they are expected to promote The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 film together.
The movie is set for release in cinemas on November 16, with the London premiere set for November 14.
The three-year romance took a nose dive following Kristen Stewart’s summer indiscretion with her 41-year-old, married Snow White and The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.
Last July, Kristen Stewart’s fling came to light after photos surfaced showing her and Rupert Sanders kissing and hugging in Los Angeles.
In the weeks since Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders both issued public apologies for their behavior, Rob and Kristen seem to have inched their way back together.
The couple reportedly is trying to work things out.
“We’re going to be fine. We’re totally fine,” Kristen Stewart recently told the Associated Press when asked about some “awkward public appearances” she and Rob will be facing promoting Breaking Dawn 2.
