Los Angeles, May 25 : Pop star Katy Perry reportedly encouraged actor Robert Pattinson to break up with actress-girlfriend Kristen Stewart, saying he deserves someone better.

"Katy never really supported Rob's decision to get back with Kristen. She always said they wouldn't last," femalefirst. co. uk quoted a source as saying.

"Katy told Rob she didn't think their relationship could withstand the cheating scandal. And he deserved better than someone who would destroy a family like Rupert Sanders'," the source said. (IANS)
