Kristen Stewart has revealed she is romantically involved with Alicia Cargile after the two went through numerous breakups.
The Café Society actress, who was previously dating Robert Pattinson, was rumored to be seeing her personal assistant roughly 18 months ago. Now she has decided to confirm people’s suspicions and is reportedly overjoyed.
Stewart explained to Britain’s Elle magazine: “Right now I’m just really in love with my girlfriend. We’ve broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, ‘Finally, I can feel again.'”
The 26-year-old star also says she feels happier now that she is more open, especially after embracing a same-sex relationship.
“When I was dating a guy I was hiding everything that I did because everything personal felt like it was immediately trivialized, so I didn’t like it.”
She further explained the reasons for coming forward and her newfound happiness.
“We were turned into these characters and placed into this ridiculous comic book, and I was like, ‘That’s mine. You’re making my relationship something that it’s not.’ I didn’t like that. But then it changed when I started dating a girl.
I was like, ‘Actually, to hide this provides the implication that I’m not down with it or I’m ashamed of it, so I had to alter how I approached being in public. It opened my life up and I’m so much happier.”
The actress had recently said she has no interest in labeling or defining her sexuality.
She stated: “Me not defining it right now is the whole basis of what I’m about. If you don’t get it, I don’t have time for you. There’s acceptance that’s become really rampant and cool.”
