Kristen Stewart has been dating for Alicia Cargile for more than a year. Alicia is the only person Kristen has stepped out with publicly in the past year, and by all accounts, they live together, vacation together, party together and they are a couple in every way. Most media outlets have been hesitant to refer to Alicia as anything other than “Kristen’s gal-pal” or “Kristen’s roommate” or whatever. But it always felt like Kristen’s actions were pretty clear – they were dating, they were together, they were girlfriends. And now Kristen’s mom Jules Stewart has come right out and said it.
Twilight actress Kristen Stewart has found new love – with her personal assistant Alicia Cargile. The star’s mum Jules Stewart has given her blessing to the relationship, which comes two years after Kristen, 25, split from long-term love Robert Pattinson, 29. Jules, 55, told the Sunday Mirror she has met Alicia and that the couple are very happy together.
She added: “What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy. She’s my daughter, I’m just her mom so she knows I would accept her choices. I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her. What’s not to accept? She’s a lovely girl.”
Jules, who also has a Hollywood career as a script supervisor, added: “I feel like people need to be free to love whoever they want. I accept my daughter loves women and men. It’s OK to be who you are in my world. We all choose our friends so we should be free to choose our lovers. People are good to do whatever they like as long as they’re not hurting people or breaking the law. I have gay friends, family members, I’m accepting of people, we are all free to choose who we want to love.”
Martial arts nut Kristen’s relationship with Twilight co-star R-Patz ended after she was seen kissing married Rupert Sanders, 44, who directed her in Snow White and the Huntsman. Since then she has kept her love life under wraps. Meanwhile Pattinson is now said to be engaged to singer FKA twigs, 27 – and it was claimed this week he will even invite Kristen to his wedding.
Jules said of Kristen’s new love: “They were a great couple, but she’s 25 years old and I’d like to see her have a lot more life experience before she chooses someone to settle down with. I’m very sad that Kristen and Robert didn’t have a chance to be alone together, they had to have the whole world with them and all the public stuff ruined everything, life became overwhelming. But Kristen has learnt to handle her emotions and deal with her problems through the martial arts.”
… Through the martial arts? Kristen got over Sparkles by learning martial arts. Sure. As for Jules coming right out and saying that Kristen has a girlfriend… as I said, we really have known that for a while. It also feels like Jules is saying Kristen self-identifies as bisexual too – “I accept my daughter loves women and men.” So when Kristen dated Robert Pattinson, it was real, just as her romantic relationship with Alicia is real. Will people accept that at face value? Or will there still be conspiracies about Kristen’s “real” sexuality?

Non-issue, Good for her mom to be non-chalant about it
I agree with both of your points. Kristen’s private life is hers, and her Mom sees no issue, either.
Not everyone sees it this way, unfortunately. There are already tons of speculations. I even learned a new word today- bislut, I wish I didn’t. So disheartening, who does invent such word and why?
^This. I wouldn’t really expect a Hollywood type to be less than accepting in this day and age, but it’s good that she made her views public to encourage other parents to take this viewpoint.
At Christmas Dinner my niece said my other niece is a lesbian. No one even stopped eating. My dad came in and my niece said you have a lesbian for a granddaughter, my dad said, “he doesn’t have time to worry about which one of you is a lesbian.” Again everyone kept eating. It’s a non-issue. .
***My nieces are pre-teens so its not like a huge outing situation, they are just brats.
Kcarp Your dad sounds hilarious and awesome 🙂
Yep. Good point, but still no blender for you! (Harrumph)
I think she is finding herself and will probably identify as a lesbian in the end.
^This is a prime example of people not expecting the sexuality Kristen identifies with.
I’m not sure why it’s hard for people to understand or value bisexuality. She’s dated guys and now dates a woman; why can’t she be bisexual. Why is that not enough?
Funny enough, I think the way she carries herself still effects the way many people see her sexual identity.
@ nola, she is 25. I don’t think she is finished yet. Also, with Jodie foster as one of her biggest supporters, i doubt I am the only one.
She reminds me of Sara Gilbert. She doesn’t seem to have any visible chemistry on screen or photographed with a man.
Bi-erasure is a very real thing.
One of the reasons for better or for worse is that a ton of true homosexuals do lie about being bisexual in order to ease their way out of the closet. It maybe less common now but it does happen. Besides the people I’ve known in my private life who’ve out and out said they’ve done as much. Elton John and Dan Savage are two prominent people who did so.
Also bisexuality isnt really accepted in the LGBT community as much as you’d think so a lot of people choose to identify exclusively as gay because that’s the stronger attraction for them.
@Denisemich: Woaw so many preconceived thoughts in just one comment// she looks like// she has a lesbian big supporter // she is not finished// she doesn’t have chemistry on screen with her onscreen partners (I beg to differ in on the road she had plenty )….
WoW just wow ! Do you know how sexuality really works? I mean by your sole comment it’s hard to believe you actually do…
@Truthful
I think she doesn’t have any idea how acting works either. Kristen’s lack of chemistry isn’t about her personal life, it’s poor acting. Like with any other actress.
@original kay: LOL! Excellent!
I don’t know. Not necessarily. My friend is bisexual and stunning and has had both male and female live-in relationships long-term since her early 20s, and dated both, but she seems to be drawn back more to men. She lived with a girl for over two years, so wasn’t just experimenting. It’s the way she is. As she got into her early 30s that seemed to be where she was heading, long-term relationships with men, even though she was still very attracted to females also and did briefly date a few in that time period casually.
By her late 20s, I thought she was going to eventually identify more as a lesbian also , but I was wrong as she settled into her 30s where relationshipwise it seemed to be men she gravitated more towards for serious relationships.
I knew someone who’d identified as a lesbian from her twenties and then married a man in her forties. It didn’t last. But the point is that labels, while important to show solidarity, are not really all that defining. If these two young women get married and share a monogamous life together, all we know for certain about their sexuality is that they’re in love with each other.
Yes, Bettyrose. +1,000,000. You stated it perfectly.
The thing about being bisexual and monogamous is that you choose a person not an orientation. That’d be like saying you aren’t sexually attracted to brunettes because you married a blond.
I believe Kevin Spacey is a bisexual.
I believe Cara d is a bisexual.
I believe David bowie is a bisexual.
Kristen Stewart not so sure.
Other people have changed their identification from Bisexual…like George Michael.
Using these words as nouns has always made uncomfortable. You’re a gay, a black, a bisexual etc. I like them better as adjectives as theyre just one part of a whole person – none of us are just one thing. Yeah some things are more important but they’re just more ways for us to label ourselves. When they become nouns they sound like stereotypes to me. Like “I’m a blonde” – that has connotations, right?
Also, can someone be “a straight” ?
Ah well – just how I see it.
I’ve worked with Kevin Spacey. I don’t believe he’s anything other than 100% gay (and a pretty awful person in how he goes about getting very young men to sleep with him).
Cloney is bi.
Or she could just be Bi! I’m bisexual and it’s highly irritating for people to act like it’s not a real thing. Everyone (gay and straight) is always acting like they know your preferences better than you know them. It can be exhausting.
I support you! Bisexuality is not the Easter Bunny. Can we stop pretending like it is this mythical thing not found in nature?
Agree, bi people do exist. It’s weird how people always gloss over that.
Thanks y’all! I appreciate it. Bisexual women are usually seen as 1) Confused lesbians on a small detour before they head to Gayville, 2) Confused straight girls having a “fling” before they “settle down” with a man, or 3) Crazed sex monsters that have threesomes all the time and can’t be trusted not to cheat on whomever they are with. I obviously can’t speak for every bisexual, but I think that most are like me; people that are attracted to both sexes and happy having monogamous relationships with people of either sex.
I don’t think anyone but Kristen has the answer to that.
does her mom really talk that deeply about her daughters love life with a paper?
Right? I doubt this article is actually from her mother. I don’t doubt that Kristen and Alicia are in a relationship and I also don’t doubt that her parents are accepting of it. If the robsten relationship was real, Kristen really treated rob like crap. I’m glad she’s finally in a stable relationship now and so is he.
Her mum has a history of being a blabber mouth about her daughter’s romantic life, I order to promote her own projects. Plus the Twihards have been bombarding her with angry tweets. If it was fake she or Kristen’s people certainly would have said something.
The mother actually did contact the newspaper to complain and they edited the article, but the complaint was about them not focusing more on her own project. So obviously she approves of the rest of what’s written.
I’m wondering if she did so with her expressed permission or even on behalf of her as a way to confirm this without Kristen doing a huge coming out publicity tour which would be out of character for K or if this is a case of a blabber mouth parent ala Jon Voight?
BTW the interviewer is a pretty reputable freelancer who sold the story to the Mirror as opposed to an exclusive Mirror interview so I do think it’s real.
I seriously doubt this is really her mom saying this.. The fact that she brought up rob just confirms it for me
A while ago, Lainey ran a BI implying that Kristens mom was using Kristen stardom to parley her new business venture. The article talks a bit about here charity… So yeah.
Her mom’s a disaster. This isn’t the first interview she’s given about Kristen (and Rob and Alicia by extension). I have no doubt this is real and she used Kristen once again because it’s the only way anyone pays attention.
If it was fake her team would’ve debunked it by now.
I hate when moms use words like “lover.” But I hate the word “lover” in general. It is just so dramatic and gross.
When people use that word or the phrase “making love” all I can think about is the SNL skit hot tub Lov-ahs with Will Ferrell and Rachel Dratch, LOL
It makes me think of Dirty Dancing. The rich lady that Johnny was sleeping with (before Baby) calls him “lover” and asks him to stop by her cabin. It gave me serious creepies as a kid, and I can’t disassociate that word.
Yeah, you’ll occasionally get a nutty aunt or uncle or a confused grandparent going rogue and talking to the press like this, but her mother? I highly doubt it.
But wouldn’t the paper and the journalist be leaving themselves open to a lawsuit if attributed these quotes to the mother if she never said them?
Odd that the article mentions the mom met Alicia. That makes it sound like Alicia is new to Kristen’s life. Alicia has been a friend of Kristen for years. I follow Kristen career, but don’t seek out pictures. I know I have seen Alicia’s picture for years. If I have seen pictures of Alicia around the end of Twilight. I think the mom made a throw away comment about K and A. and the writer added the rest. If Kristen doesn’t talk about her relationships, why would the mom?
A lawsuit would be expensive and length and would it be worth it?
She’ll never date a dude again. I don’t buy the showmance with RPattz, it was always about selling and keeping that Twlight franchise in the news and hiding her sexual orientation and his probably too. I’ve never seen two more miserable and mismatched people pretending to be a couple than them.
…so you think the affair with the male director was staged and planned?
I thought they were real from his end, like he was in love with her, but that there were never sparks (ha!) from her end. Thus the affair with someone she did have chemistry with.
She sure seemed into Rupert Sanders, so I buy that she’s bisexual. Unless she says otherwise, why not?
She was SO into Rupert. Omg. The chemistry and the lust right there was something I never saw with Robert. Never. And not just in those scandalous pictures. But the way they talked about each other in interviews, the little glances they shared on red carpets. That was real fire right there. A lesbian doesn’t have affairs with married men.
BUT like the above poster says, something tells me she won’t ever date a man again. She looks so happy and peaceful with this Alicia girl. Again, she never looked like that with Robert lol. Even her style changed. It’s less girly and more tomboyish. Like she feels more like herself right now. Who knows.
Do not like her. Bland and one-note actress, not too bright in interviews, and her affair with the married director really came across as unsavoury.
Still, good on her for being comfortable with her sexuality.
She tries everything to be still in the news
…Really? I get the exact opposite feeling from her. I think she would be thrilled if the paps stopped following her around and she could go get coffee or out to lunch w/o being photographed.
Coffee pics wre staged. It’s so clear
Sources? It just looked like two women on a coffee date to me. She’s always been very vocal about wanting to be an actress and not a celebrity. I believe her. Nothing in her demeanor suggests she likes constant attention.
Celebrities can disappear when they want to. She’s papped constantly because she wants it that way.
People are so naive about Stewart. Generic sound bites about not wanting fame and only caring about “the work” kind of lose their legitimacy in the face of multiple franchises, fashion campaigns, non-stop magazine covers even when she doesn’t have a film coming out, campaigning for a role in the Marvel universe, pointless oscar campaigns…look to her actions, not her words, because she’s always been fos.
The only concern I would have is that she is her personal assistant. That could get ugly if they break up.
I think she’s not her assistant. She had a male assistant for a while. Alicia is a visual effects supervisor. People keep saying assistant because they’ve been close for a LONG time. Even when she was still with Robert. But she claims to have a real job. Who knows, I mean she can definitely travel with her at the drop of a hat. Must not be a very stable job.
“Must not be a very stable job.”
If she does work on a computer, her work could be mobile.
My friend works as a visual effects supervisor for commercials. It’s definitely not a nine to five job, but they make good money. A lot of the behind the scenes jobs in the industry are not nine to five, or they work crazy hours for like 7 or 8 months out of the year on a project and then have nothing for a few months.
The most interesting things to me besides the obvious, is the fact that kristens mom says that She and rob are still friends (really?) and that Alicia is her personal assistant. I don’t think I’ve seen pics of Alicia at any of Kristen’s professional events. We get tons of pictures of them hanging out in a social setting but during work events she’s a no show.
Also Kristen only seems to date people that she works with and are in her immediate circle. My advice to her would be to not mix business with pleasure. It hasn’t workef for her at all.
@Nola Guy Peirce worked on different projects last year, with Rob and Kristen. And he said they were still friends and still talked. He and Kristen’s mother would know. Who has said Alicia is a personal assistant? I know people keep saying she is, but why is Alicia never with her at events. I think the fact that she is never seen working events with Kristen shows, Alicia is a part of her private life and not professional.
Do you expect them to say “no it was a horrible break up and they hate each other”? Claiming to be friends is what Hollywood exes do to avoid drama. It’s incredibly obvious they’re not friends since not only have they not been seen together in almost 2 years, but they totally avoided each other at the one event they’ve both been at since their breakup, and Rob’s team has debunked the “Rob wants to invite Kristen to his wedding” story multiple times now.
@Tracy I think the article/her mom mentions that Alicia is her assistant.
@Cara No, I didn’t expect her to say anything on the current state of RKs relationship. Also given the fact that their fans and media try to create an all out war between the two, any suggestion of them being friends is interesting.
@Cara How do you or anyone else know that have not seem each other in two years? I can’t speak for Rob attending events, but rarely does Kristen just attend events. Unlike what some people say, Kristen does seem to avoid “Hollywood” events, unless she has a reason to be there. Fashion shows for Chanel, red carpet for her movies or supporting friends or business associates projects seem to be the only time she attends anything “Hollywood”. I believe the same is true for Rob. Unlike some celebs they aren’t just on random red carpets. And friends or not why would Rob or Twigs invite Kristen to their wedding and why would she want to go. The day is about the bride, Twigs. What makes you think Kristen would want to bring drama to Twig’s day?
Whatever to the article, relationship, etc. But my god ladies, you two look like every wannabe rebel stereotype out there. Beer, bands (both common and maybe not that good) and bad jeans. Yeesh.
She looks very happy and relaxed with her. I think it’s so wonderful that actors can be open about their sexuality nowadays if they want without horrific repercussions. We’ve come so far that even older people have forgotten how bad it used to be for gay/bi people. Hopefully the more people who are open about their sexuality will normalise non straights to those youngsters who are unfortunately raised by hateful homophobes.
Did her mom out her in a tabloid?!
Remember that Lainey blind item about Kristen’s mom ruining her reputation in the business because she kept using her name to launch her own projects. Yeahhh…
I remember that BI. Lainey compared her mom to Dina Lohan. If she’s using her daughter’s private life for her own interests…
Agree that this interview verges on Dina Lohan levels of exploitation. Like the way she says that Kristen’s new relationship is going well but implies that if she’d just had more privacy with her ex-boyfriend they’d still be together? How is that supportive? Or the public’s business?
“Kristen Stewart has been dating for Alicia Cargile for more than a year.”
Try 2 years.
While it’s cool Jules is so accepting of her daughter (as she should be), if this was just her running her mouth to the tabloids without Kristen’s blessing, that is SERIOUSLY uncool. I give it side-eye as it is: who comments on a relationship that is unconfirmed by any official statement? It would be uncool if it were a statement about a boyfriend, and outing someone possibly without permission is just not very kind even if Kristen hasn’t exactly been “closeted” for the past year.
I can’t wait to check out HKN Haven, though I could probably write the post myself by now: “All the dipshits are too stupid to see that Jules is now in on the tabloid game! She’s selling her daughter’s lesbian relationship as a cover for sweet pea no 2’s birth!”
This. It’s terrible to do that to your own daughter.
If it were me, I’d be uncomfortable discussing my celebrity kid’s personal life with the media. If Kristen wants to come out, let her do it in her own way (unless of course she ok’d her mom’s reveal ahead of time). I personally believe Kristen loved Rob, that she now loves Alicia, and that she may well be unsure of or unwilling to label her sexuality. It seems like she feels safe and in her own skin right now. Maybe the whole kerfuffle with Rupert was more about stress than anything else — not being able to deal with the pressure of such a high-profile relationship and so sort of creating an “out.”
While her mom has a good response about someone’s sexuality, it’s incredibly messed up that she basically outed her own daughter even if her daughter was in a glass closet. I know some people above were saying it was a freelance journalist and all and that some tabloid f*ckery may have been involved, but still…doesn’t excuse yapping about someone’s sexuality. It reminds me of that Lainey BI that everyone guessed was her, and while most BIs are BS that one makes the most sense in context with this interview. The gist was that her father, siblings, and her team (agent, manager, etc.) all hated her mom because she kept asking for money and using her daughter’s name to get meetings for herself. I think the BI said that while Kristen knew her mom had issues, she couldn’t bring herself to cut her completely out of her life. Who wants to bet this might be the deciding factor?
Anyway, pretty much everyone knew Kristen was bi or gay anyway. I still think she and RPattz were a PR couple for the most part, but it doesn’t mean I think there is some conspiracy about her sexuality or anything. She can be bi and still have been in a sort of PR relationship with him for Twilight. I do hope this shuts down that stupid 1950s style gal pal labels though. At the end of the day, someone’s sexuality should be a non-issue.
First her co-star, then her married director and now her personal assistant. Is there any danger of her actually maintaining professional boundaries?
Haven’t read all the post so maybe someone has posted this. Her mother said that she didn’t OUT Kristen. That these quotes in this interview are not from her but fabricated.
I’m not surprised.. this is the norm in gossip rags.. They take a bit of truth then spin their narrative and make up the rest.
Lesson learned not to believe anything in these magazines. EVER
Just like the news. According to the mainstream news networks ISIS are the only ones doing anything wrong in Syria and Iraq.
Especially British tabloids.How many times have they made up interviews or recycled interviews from ten years ago.
Except the journalist claims to have the whole interview on tape and is standing by her story ??????
Gossipcop has debunked this story already.
What? But I’ve already taken a shot at her! Now I know how George W Bush felt.
Did You Know Everyone Sucks
Indeed. The more people I meet the more I love my dog.
i can’t believe people still care about Kristen Stewart!! What’s the interest there? She’s boring as heck and hasn’t done a movie in ages…I don’t get it
@MadMenluv Since 2012 She has filmed Camp X-Ray, Clouds of Sils Maria, Equals, American Ultra, Still Alice, Anesthesia. She has two movies in production right now. And two will be filmed later this year.
To be honest, I simply don’t care, people are people, who you sleep with is unimportant.
That said, did Ms. Lohan not do this as her ‘career’ was quiet and it has brought in press and helped her a little? Not saying this is that but I do have an issue with people trying to shock us with what they think is shocking.
The Daily mirror is a conservative newspaper, all about traditional values and is well known for it’s ‘misunderstanding’ nature to quotes and information with an eye to ‘shock and sell’ I have a few girlfriends or friends who are girls, none work for me and I’m not in relationships with them, we hug and have held hands, nothing wrong with that and kiss when we meet and say goodbye…. all of wich would explain the pictures and the quote from her mum.
Not saying anything other than the reaction to the information is more important to some than the information alone.
