All the naysayers can eat their words — these new pictures of Rob and Kristen kissing are proof that their relationship is as authentic as they come. This love is for real!

There has been a lot of talk surrounding Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart‘s relationship and whether or not it’s for real. Some people seem to believe that the reconciliation between the two following her tryst with Rupert Sanders has been only for promotional purposes for the upcoming release of Breaking Dawn: Part 2, but with the new photos of Rob and Kristen kissing on Wednesday, Oct. 17, those cynics can eat their words. This relationship is for real!

These pictures, exclusive to Popsugar, mark the first time Rob, 26, and Kristen, 22, have ever been photographed kissing in public, outside of a movie set. For a relationship that was kept so private for so long, this is such a huge move. After all they’ve been through, Rob and Kristen aren’t afraid to let the public witness their love.

Catching the couple in such an intimate setting as Kristen’s new house is further proof that this reconciliation is not a stunt. Why would anyone bother to go to such great lengths if it was all for show. The photos reveal Rob and Kristen just enjoying each other’s company — it’s beautiful and it’s real. Good for them!
