Robert Pattinson has said he is "kind of" engaged to British musician FKA Twigs, but wants to maintain their privacy.
In an interview with US radio show host Howard Stern, the Twilight star expressed wariness about sharing details of his personal life because of "crazy" fans.
When Stern asked the 31-year-old London-born actor if he was engaged to Twigs, he coyly replied: "Yeah, kind of".
"It's one of the most frustrating things in the world, because you want to be able to do that," he said about going public with the news.
"But you get kind of stuck in a position where you have to make the decision - do you want to let, kind of, crazy people in?"
"And so you kind of think, to protect it, I want to create a big boundary between it, but then it makes it difficult for your actual relationship."
Pattinson and Twigs started dating in 2014
Pattinson's past relationship with his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart was the subject of heavy media scrutiny.
The couple were together for about five years, but split up after she was unfaithful with her Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders in 2012.
She released a statement apologising to Pattinson after reports emerged about her affair.
Pattinson and Stewart's relationship was heavily scrutinised by fans and the media
The actor has been dating Twigs, 29, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, since 2014.
Speaking about her to Stern, Pattinson said: "She's amazing. She's super talented and just from a totally different world".
After they started dating, Twigs tweeted she was the victim of racist abuse on social media after it emerged they were together.
"I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week," she wrote.
Pattinson told Stern he thought the public scrutiny he was subject to was directly related to his Twilight past.
"I mean basically, for whatever reason with Twilight - I don't know whether it is a specific thing with the audience - there's like a crack group of crazies that think every single decision you're making is either creating some kind of conspiracy," he said.
