Robert Pattinson hides from Kristen Stewart scandal at home of Reese Witherspoon, had his 'heart ripped out' by affair

Robert Pattinson ditched his former love nest in Los Angeles for new digs — a stunning $7 million ranch where he can mend his broken heart.

The temporary crib comes courtesy of his “Water for Elephants” co-star Reese Witherspoon, according to People magazine. The Ojai, Calif., ranch is Witherspoon’s vacation home and where she married talent agent Jim Toth last year.

A stunned Pattinson reportedly immediately asked Witherspoon if he could stay at her home after finding out about Stewart's affair, and has been hiding out there ever since, reeling from the news.

"There was no sign that either of them was unhappy," a Pattinson insider told the magazine. "He would have done anything for her."

Earlier reports said the “Twilight” star had skipped town for his native London. He’s been in hiding since gal pal Kristen Stewart admitted to cheating on him with her “Snow White and the Huntsman” director Rupert Sanders.

Pattinson, 26, cancelled an upcoming press appearance for his latest flick, “Cosmopolis,” according to Entertainment Tonight.

While the source told People that Pattinson has had his "heart ripped out" by the scandal, a Stewart confidante told the magazine the actress is also crushed by the effects of her affair.

"Telling Robert was the worst thing she's ever had to do," the source reportedly said.

A source told Us Weekly that he remains “a total mess,” even as Stewart, 22, issued a public mea culpa last week and has been sending texts and making phone calls to restore their three-year relationship.

“It’s the only thing she cares about,” a source told Us Weekly.

It appears Pattinson has quite the comfy hideout should he decide to stay at Witherspoon’s home for a while.

The ranch was recently featured in Elle Decor magazine, and gives Witherspoon, her husband, and her two kids with ex-hubby Ryan Phillippe a “serene setting.” She's currently expecting her first child with Toth. The property, meanwhile, is also home to donkeys, goats, pigs and chickens.

Meanwhile, Sanders stepped out in Los Angeles on Monday for the first time since the scandal broke, still wearing his wedding ring.

Sanders, 41, dressed casually as he made his first foray into the public since his relationship with Stewart was revealed, donning sunglasses, jeans and a blue-and-white striped shirt.

Like Stewart, he issued a dramatic public apology to his wife and children last week after the affair was exposed, suggesting he will try to keep his marriage intact despite the scandal.

"I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family," Sanders said in a statement. "My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart.

"I am praying we can get through this together."

Kristen Stewart turns to Jodie Foster for affair advice

The 22-year-old star – who recently made a public apology to boyfriend Robert Pattinson for cheating on him with her 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director – is being supported by her 'Panic Room' co-star after the 49-year-old actress reached out to her young friend.

A source said: "As soon as she heard the news, Jodie contacted Kristen to offer her support. They have been close friends since they starred opposite each other in the 2002 movie 'Panic Room', and Jodie is a mother-like figure to her.

"Jodie told Kristen to take no notice of the media bashing and said if she wanted to cry her heart out to her she's always available. Jodie loved Rob and is disappointed with Kristen for cheating on him. However, she knows at 22, she's still very young and unfortunately people make mistakes in life. She thinks Kristen will learn from this and will only grow into a more mature person because of it."

However, not all is easy for Kristen, as she is still fighting with British-born Robert about who should look after their dog Bear.

The source added to RadarOnline.com: "After Rob moved his things out of their Los Angeles home, he then told Kristen he wanted Bear. She was heartbroken; they adopted Bear together and she always felt that he was their little baby.

 "But Rob was so hurt by Kristen's actions he decided that he wants the dog to help him get over what happened. After all, a dog is a man's best friend and Bear is such a good companion. However, Kristen won't give up Bear in a hurry."

Robert is believed to be hiding out in Reese Witherspoon's holiday home in California while he decides what to do with his future.

Robert Pattinson was going to propose before Kristen Stewart cheated

Robert Pattinson was "weeks away" from proposing to Kristen Stewart before finding out she cheated on him.

The 'Twilight' star was due to ask for the brunette beauty's hand in marriage in the spring and he had even bought a £5 million Los Angeles mansion for the couple's future before being told of the 22-year-old star's affair with her 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders, 41.

A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper, “Robert hoped to marry Kristen and was making preparations to spring a proposal before she admitted cheating. He had bought the house in Los Angeles to be their home and saw them staying there for a long time."

But since discovering the news, Robert – whose character in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 married Kristen's alter-ego onscreen last year – is "angry" with Kristen and the 26-year-old hunk has moved out of their LA home.

The insider added, “Now Rob is angry – he’s left the mansion and not spoken to her since. They have exchanged heated text messages only.”

After pictures of Kristen and Rupert together emerged, the pair publically confessed to cheating on their respective lovers, and the director has "apologised profusely" to his model-and-actress wife Liberty Ross – who played Kristen's mother in Snow White and the Huntsman – in the hope he can save his marriage.

A friend explained, “Liberty is hurting. But she’s realistic. Things happen and marriage isn’t easy – she just hates the fact her name’s been dragged into all of this. Rupert has apologised profusely and she has accepted his apology. She hopes things get back on track – after all, they have kids together.”

Robert now wants to have a one-on-one chat with Rupert to find out "exactly what happened" between the filmmaker and his girlfriend.

A source said, "Rob wants to have a man to man chat with Rupert to find out exactly what happened between him and Kristen.

"Kristen has already betrayed his trust by cheating, so he can't be sure that she will tell him exactly what went on between her and Rupert."

Robert and Kristen are contractually obliged to be pictured side by side on the red carpet at the premiere of their final Twilight movie together, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, later this year.

Robert Pattinson feared Kristen Stewart was having secret affair for months

Robert Pattinson fears that Kristen Stewart’s affair with married film director Rupert Sanders might have gone on behind his back for months.

According to a friend, the 26-year-old actor is not sure if he could “get over this.

The Twilight actor, who has already quit the Los Angles mansion that he shared with Stewart, wants time alone to decide whether to make their current split permanent.

“He doesn’t know if he can move on. He feels humiliated and the wound will take a long time to heal, if at all,” the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

The 22-year-old actress has repeatedly insisted that her fling with the 41-year-old Brit movie maker was “a momentary indiscretion,” as she battles to save their three-year relationship.

But after new photos emerged showing both of them enjoying cosy dinner dates in Berlin and Los Angeles over several weeks, Pattinson “hit the roof,” and now believes that the pair may have been seeing each other since at least May.

“I can’t believe a word she says,” Pattinson said to a friend.
