Robert Pattinson has reportedly been staying at Reese Witherspoon's house in the wake of revelations his girlfriend Kristen Stewart had an indiscretion with Rupert Sanders.

The actor left the couple's own home last week after the scandal broke, and immediately arranged to stay at his Water for Elephants co-star's more secluded estate in Ojai, California, according to cover stories in People and Us Weekly.

Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth's 7-acre property 90 minutes north of Los Angeles makes some sense as an initial refuge for Pattinson, given that the already intense scrutiny around the Breaking Dawn star exploded a week ago amid the Stewart-Sanders situation.

As Gossip Cop reported, Pattinson was 'blindsided' by Stewart's admission of the Sanders indiscretion, and had little time to prepare for a public retreat after the story was splashed across front pages last Wednesday.

The Ojai 'hideout' is far enough away from Los Angeles ' and from public access ' that it gave Pattinson some space from paparazzi attention without having to fly somewhere like London, where outlets falsely reported he was spotted over the weekend.

That said, whether Pattinson is still at Witherspoon and Toth's getaway home is not known or confirmed.

Gossip Cop has reached out to sources to clarify whether Pattinson has decided to stay in Ojai even after the media picked up on his whereabouts.

  1)GC: We know now where is Robert but where is kristen??

  2) In HL they are talking about she try to beg Rob to talk to him and make him see that she loves him' Do you know it??

• I am wondering if he and Kristen have already talked to each other'..because no matter how things turn out,it is necessary to at least express what they feel now!Otherwise he will defenitely regret this sooner or later'.I can't believe that they won't talk after all these years together.He will have to face her sooner or later,he can't avoid it.

• he's in my bed now' :P

• I really doubt he is there now. I think it is a diversion.

• Sorry, but I still see no evidence that he was there?? It made sense'yes maybe it does. But there are more optiosn I would guess. No official statement either from Rob or Reese. So for me it´´s still a rmuour that he even was there though I have no problem if he was or still is. He needs a safe place!! But nothing is confirmed so I don´t believe it

• God hope he's ok , but in saying that I do hope they can work things out , love always fines away and if it is really love they forgive in time'.. I no what she did aw s wrong bad I bet then she is hurting too. Like they say you don't no what you had to its gone'. Rob if you are reading this go with your heart no what someone tells you do do. And if you really love her then do the right thing' You can forgive but. You never forget. But you can move on together '.. Just maybe you to need to get away from everything and everyone to do that together and just maybe just maybe make it'. Love will get you there' Love doesn't go away over night' You to have been together to long to just give up'.

• This is true, really? I thought this was just a rumor. Didnt know they were so close friends. Thats nice of reese. But I still dont really belive it. Why would he not be with some of his close friends.?
  And why would any source confirm where he is. If he wants to hide, then his pr-team shouldnt tell were he his. And were does this source come from. Who has been telling this, reese?. Dont see being totally true

• No way the poor guy can stay there any more.

• I disagree. It's better to talk with a clear head and I doubt that's possible with emotions still probably running high. I'm sure they will talk eventually though.

• well I think it can be real, reese is a good friend. I hope the papz don't go there, he needs time. KRISTEN GOO THERE lol talk to your man!!

• @lizzie'.I think it's a rumor too!I hope GC will not start copying what other tabloids say!I don't know what or who to believe anymore!I do want to say to Kristen:'go,girl and fight for him!Don't give up!'

• Good point. Where is Kristen? It was her actions with Rupert that started this whole mess. Why isn't she being hunted down like he is? She hasn't been seen since the story broke either.

• I STILL BELIEVE IN THEIR LOVE. STAY STRONG KRISTEN AND ROB.

• Probably because most of his close friends are in other cities and he can't go near an airport right now.

• rob need time and space, please leave him alone. best wishes for rob!!

• Yes, she is.

• Again, You are taking as the truth what People mag AND US Weekly(??) are reporting without any confirmation of Rob's reps.
  but. lets assume this is true'you should NOT divulge this'because if he is actually there'he WILL have to leave his friends house now, BECAUSE papz now KNOW where to look for him.

• KRISTEN GO TALK TO YOUR MAN AND ROB YOU 2 HAVE BEEN TOGETHER TO LONG . IF ITS LOVE THEN YOU TO WILL MAKE WORK TOGETHER '. DON'T GIVE UP IF IT'S REAL LOVE.. DO NT LET SOMEONE TELL YOUS WHAT TO DO '

• just shut up already. stupid robstens only want their fairytale back, You dont give a shit about Rob being hurt!

• Only Rob and those close to him know where he really is! How do we know that Kristen isn't there with him trying to sort things out, away from all the papz!

• I'm guessing at her parents house.

• If either one of them is smart, they will quit this profession all together and find something else behind the scenes to do. Eventually, all the psychos will find someone else to obsess over and leave them alone. Really, who would want to live in this type of fishbowl?

• I'm sure she'll get right on that after reading your post all caps girl!!!

• That would be great!

• Of course we give a shit. Most of us love both of them and want them to be happy. Only a small portion of fans only like one or the other! The majority of us understand completely how much Rob must be hurting. Geez. We're not asking him to rush back into the relationship!

• Well this is bs. I though GC is supposed to tell the 'truth'. Even if this entire story was true, I highly doubt that he would be staying at his co-stars house. This is turning into a complete joke. By the way GC, your little confirmation about uhaul being at 'his' house was also not true as it was a staged photo. I think GC has officially failed to stand behind their slogan. Also, no freaking legit source would ever disclose where their client is staying specifying exactly where the house is located. This is so stupid!

• We can just hope =). But maybe they both need time and space first, and then they can sort this out. But who knows maybe she is there.

• What she did is gross ' I mean, who the hell has oral sex in their car, in the middle of the day, behind an abandoned building in a seedy neighborhood? Oh yeah, that's right, PROSTITUTES DO!
