Robert Pattinson has reportedly told his on/off girlfriend Kristen Stewart not to visit him on the set of his new movie The Rover in Australia.

"Rob doesnt want her to visit, he felt like they needed space. He wants a break," a source told In Touch Magazine.

As the 26-year-old actor will be filming for seven more weeks, Stewart has been trying to keep in touch, but he does not want the same.

"She was calling and texting him constantly - if he didn't respond she would go off the handle. So he just stopped responding," the insider added.

Pattinson and Stewart, who are Forbes' Highest Grossing on-screen romance couple, broke up briefly last year after the 22-year-old actress was caught cheating with Rupert Sanders, the director of Snow White and the Huntsman. The two reunited for the promotion of the final premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, the hugely successful vampire-themed fantasy film franchise.

Meanwhile, in the recent times, Stewart has been catching up with Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner.

"Kristen has been spending a lot of time with Taylor of late because she's been using him as a sounding board for her relationship with Robert," a source told Radar Online, "She thinks that he may have some insight in how she should proceed with Robert - and where their relationship is going."

"Robert and Taylor are also tight, so she's been fishing a little to find out if they have been talking about anything," the insider continued, "But Taylor has just told Kristen that she has to give Robert time to heal still. It's not even been a year since the now infamous cheating scandal, so he can't be expected to forgive and forget so quickly. He also told her that Robert is busy working and trying to stay together long-distance is as tough as it gets. She needs to just be patient until he comes back."
