The British singer, 27, said that she feels like she’s “masquerading as a pop star” as the public continues to show an interest in their romance.

“It’s really hard – I can’t begin to explain how awful it is,” she said. “It makes you want to just stop everything sometimes. It makes you want to smash your face into the mirror.”

The couple started dating in September, and reportedly got engaged in April. Earlier this month, Pattinson, 29, and FKA twigs, made their first official red carpet appearance at the Met Gala in New York City.
