Jackson Rathbone steps out of the studios of The Today Show with a gal pal on Wednesday (November 16) in NYC.

The pair kept close as they got into a waiting car.

The 26-year-old Twilight actor once shared about the relationships he has with the women in his life.

“I got my butt kicked a few times by my sisters,” Jackson said. “But I grew up so southern that my father would say, ‘You take it like a man.’ And I’d be like, ‘Oh, what? I’m 5!’ But it was interesting. My dad always taught me to treat my girlfriends the way I wanted my sisters to be treated by their boyfriends. They always taught me a really wonderful level of respect that’s not common these days.”
