Taylor Lautner consoles Kristen Stewart over Robert Pattinson engagement rumours

Actor Taylor Lautner has reportedly reached out to his "Twilight" co-star Kirsten Stewart amid rumours that her ex-boyfriend actor Robert Pattinson has got engaged to singer FKA Twigs.

Lautner is said to have contacted Stewart and offered support to the brunette beauty, who cheated on Pattinson with married director Rupert Sanders in 2012, as soon as he heard the news.

"(Lautner) already reached out to her to offer support and to remind her that it's out of her control and not to beat herself up about the past.

"He found out about Rob's engagement just like everybody else -- on the Internet -- and as soon as he heard about it he reached out to Kristen," a source said.

"He's been there with her throughout all the ups and downs with Rob and totally understands how the news is playing with her head," the source added.
