Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson want to adopt a pet together.

Robert recently took in a rescue dog called Bear and although the couple - who play lovers Edward Cullen and Bella Swan in the 'Twilight: Saga' film franchise - refer to the pooch as their "baby", they are keen to co-adopt another animal.

A source said: "It's really sweet. When Kristen returns to LA from the UK where she's filming 'Snow White and the Huntsman', I think they'll adopt a new pet. They want to pick one together."

The couple are hoping to set up home together soon and although they are undecided on whether to settle in London or Los Angeles, they are hoping to purchase a holiday home on the Isle of Wight where they have spent the last two New Year's Eves.

The source added to More! magazine: "Because neither of them could cook, they did some Italian cooking lessons together earlier in the year. I think that's their idea of bliss - sitting on the sofa together at home after making a really great dinner."
