I’ve been wondering about this for a while, so it’s interesting to see that a media outlet was trying to figure it out too, even if that media outlet is Radar Online. Kristen Stewart hasn’t been seen with her girlfriend Alicia Cargile in months. It used to be, several times a month they would get pap’d together in LA. They live/lived together, they would often get coffee or smoothies together in the morning or they would go out to eat. But since August… nothing. The tabloids have said some stuff here and there about how there may be trouble between them, but now Radar is coming out and saying that they broke up.
Kristen Stewart‘s rebound romance with former assistant Alicia Cargile has come to an end, as RadarOnline.com has learned from a source close to the actress that they have “officially ended their relationship.”
The pair, who have not been photographed together since Aug. 1, “mutually decided to split and it was definitely an amicable breakup,” the source said. “Kristen is just so busy right now that she does not have the time to be in a serious relationship.”
Speculation that Stewart and Cargile were more than just friends started in 2013, after Stewart and longtime boyfriend Robert Pattinson split following her public cheating scandal involving Snow White director Rupert Sanders. At the time, Cargile — a Los Angeles-based visual effects producer — was also working as the A-lister’s assistant and the two became inseparable.
“They have a lot of love for each other and they always will,” the friend tells Radar. “But Alicia does not want to be a part of her jet-setting life anymore. They had to come to an understanding that this could just simply be a case of the right person, but wrong time.”
Do you think this is for real? I think it might be, and I’m just basing that on the fact that they haven’t been seen together in so long (in Hollywood terms). I also think Radar is probably right when they say that Kristen and Alicia were just doing different things and it’s not like there was a third party involved, although with Kristen, you really never know.
In one of Kristen’s interviews from her American Ultra promotional tour back in August, Kristen was asked how she defines her sexuality, and she said in part: “Google me, I’m not hiding…. If you feel like you really want to define yourself, and you have the ability to articulate those parameters and that in itself defines you, then do it… I don’t feel like it would be true for me to be like, ‘I’m coming out!’” That’s just an FYI – I do think she would probably self-identify as bisexual, but she’s just not into identifying right now.

I liked them together!
“If you feel like you really want to define yourself, and you have the ability to articulate those parameters and that in itself defines you, then do it…”
That’s quite profound. I wonder who she’s quoting?
what does it meeeaaaannnn….so being able to articulate parameters defines you? Being able to self-identify defines you? How??? As compared to people who can’t self-identify or articulate parameters? The profundity escapes me. Baffled, I is.
Some people are happy to define the parameters of their sexuality and other people find no value in doing so. Shes of the second school of thought. Shes merely saying that she has no problem with others defining their own sexuality but she herself is happy to just be.
I’m never hostile towards anyone trying to be articulate. Being pedantic and pretentious ? Yes. But now a days everyone is so cynical that that is all they CHOOSE to see. I know, some times it’s just so obvious, but when it isn’t I try practicing, giving people the benefit of the doubt.
Go, you! +100000
FKA Twiggs did it. Sparkles baby. The vampire love will live forever because vampires never die. Edwaaaaaard!
😉
“They had to come to an understanding that this could just simply be a case of the right person, but wrong time.”
if that was the truth they would make it work. all those “too busy” stories are really getting tiring, if something means a lot to you you’ll take your time for it. so this just wasnt strong enough and not meaningful enough.
Maybe she was too busy to go into details?
I think that’s kinda narrow-minded. Right person, wrong time = you put things on the back burner or shelf, and if the right time comes along, you pick it back up again. If not, well c’est la vie. Not all people make romantic relationships the end all, be all of their life.
This. It’s always interesting when you see posts that state that love can overcome anything. Um. No. Really it can’t. If it could we would all have found our soulmate in our first love.
How about, they’re in their early twenties. ‘Nuf said?
@BettyRose
Ha, I was about to say the same thing. It can apply to any age, but especially when you are younger relationships don’t become the end all to be all and that’s okay. As Here and CT said, some people don’t make their love lives the end of all to be all or else we’d make it permanent with every person we fell in love with. My best guy friend fell in love with this girl a few years ago, but she ended up moving back home a few states away. She wanted him to move with her, and he did not want to move and give up his job that he adored and his friends….and neither were able to compromise even though they were very serious at the time. That sort of thing happens all the time.
Is it possible that Alicia wanted to be officially announced(attend more events, etc)as Kristen’s girlfriend? Kristen hates the attention on her personal life , and to bring a date(female or male) to events is not something she really liked to do. It was Kristen’s idea to get into the entertainment business, but she just seems like she hates it so much. Why stay if you are so unhappy? Life is too short
she does not truly hate it. no one that has that much money will do something for so long if they really hate it. she wants to have this “i-dont-care image but really is not so different from Anne Hathaway in being needy for attention and the perks of fame.
No one is mentioning that Kristen came out vehemently against plastic surgery and then a week or two later Alicia shows up with a new nose. That’s the kind of thing that can lead to hurt feelings in a relationship.
A new nose? wtf? She looks the same
@Louise, Alicia had a bump on her nose that disappeared over the summer. Actually, the bump was distinctive (in a good way) and the removal has made her face unremarkable.
Guess they haven’t noticed that Kristen has been in Ny shooting for the past month. Plus there were fan pictures of them together a few weeks ago, hugging on the balcony of a friends house -they just weren’t published anywhere. Also Alicia was at the American Ultra premiere after party on August 19. And she recently posted a picture on Instagram showing she’s watching Kristen’s dogs.
Ashley, did you see the pictures? If so, where?
Yes, they were around Aug 31 – before she went to Venice and then started shooting in NY. I think Popsugar posted them but then had to take them down – but I’m sure a fan site somewhere that has them.
I saw them as well – I actually followed a link someone posted on twitter. I understood they were at Kristen’s Malibu house at the time and Kristen & Alicia were showing some PDA – not a lot but enough that it got some KS fans in a dither.
I guess it’s weird that there used to be pap photos on most gossip sites of them getting coffee what seemed like every other day. Then suddenly nothing…
But based on what you are saying, maybe they didn’t give up on their relationship. Maybe they just gave up coffee.
More like she hasn’t been in LA around since the end of August.
Nah as soon as that Daily Mail article happened the pap runs stopped. There were twitter sightings of them though. Maybe she wanted to be in control of her narrative and not her mother/some rabid tabloid reporter.
It’s a pap run when she goes to her local cafe – which isn’t in Beverley Hills or the usual celeb places- to get a coffee? Or she’s just going for a coffee and paps are following her? Hmmm
@susiekew it got plenty of robsessed in a dither too ….
@Louise…I’m not sure why you would think or think you know that but whatever makes you happy.
Didn’t those pap photos disappear after Stewart’s mother not-confirmed them as official? I always figured they just clamped down on public displays of affection before it became another PR disaster she’d have to recover from.
Also she did that “I’m not hiding anything” in late August, and then both American Ultra and Equals got bad reviews, and suddenly she’s talking about how heartbroken she was during filming Equals when in fact she and Alicia were already living together then. I think the failure of American Ultra prompted a decision to try and adjust the dial on the sexuality issue.
@ashley says. This x 100. American Ultra’s total failure was a wake-up call for her and her crew. She is ever so quietly making changes to her persona in hopes that Equals isn’t the same gigantic flop. Yes, KS is totally a rebel but only when the PR is positive.
American Ultra is a stoner film with no-name writers and director, and a cast that isnt especially known to the small crowd those films appeal to. I doubt anyone was expecting a Pineapple Express hit. I also doubt the blame is being laid on her feet, given that Jesse Eisenberg is the star.
Its possible however that she has been told to tone down the lez image. Kristen, unlike the bi girls who are out, is fairly butch. I suspect casting directors think of “lipstick lesbians” as an easier sell since the boys tend to find them titillating. On the other hand, Kristens boyish image coupled with an out gf alienates young male audiences (shes the “wrong” type of lesbian) . I dont think Hollywood has progressed very far.
American Ultra wasn’t a total failure. Go read the reviews for Kristen – 98% excellent. Same for Equals, she and Nick had great chemistry and Vanity Fair or such said they should win the MTV best kiss next year – it doesn’t really fit with your ‘Kstew’s too lesbian so she has to appear more straight’ bs!
The pictures just lessened dramatically, and she came out in Nylon after her mother outed her. Being gay, bi, or whatever definitely does not equal a PR disaster, especially since there have been rumors for years about her sexuality, although Naya could definitely be right in that she was told to tone it down since she’s not a lipstick lesbian type and Hollywood is still rather homophobic.
@Naya…well actually many of Kristen’s fans did think it would do Pineapple Express figures. You should read the comments on IMDb for the movie, many commenters (Kristen fans) were saying the movie would do upwards of $100 million in opening week. Jessie & Kristen were equal co-stars so they will share the blame and just to clarify I think it’s wrong to blame actors for most film failures, it’s usually the director, writer and marketing to blame. Kristen and Jessie both got good critical feedback. In this case, I think the writer sunk his own ship with his insane ramblings on twitter.
Here’s a link to the pictures of Kristen and Alicia from August 31, right before she left for festivals and NY shoot. Also includes pictures of them out with friends that same week getting tacos. Not sure what the policy is here about links so I replaced the dots with asterisks . Scroll down to post #57460. And just be warned this is Lchat so the talk can be a little graphic. Knew they would have them since they follow everything about Kirsten and Alicia and have going back to when they first met.

If true, I will sorely miss their awesome tomboy street style! Off to find plaid-lined jacket.
Also ANY article that says Alicia was ever Kristen’s assistant is immediately discredited. She was never her assistant – that’s something the fangirls invented to explain her being around and the tabloids picked it up .
I want Kristen’s hair. *sigh*
You can have it by cutting your hair, waiting a month for it to grow out and then not wash it for about three days. Easy.
There weren’t pictures of them together lately, so it is not entirely a surprise.
Now that I think of it, I haven’t seen any pictures of them since that mix up with her mom confirming the relationship. Are these two things related I wonder?
I liked Alicia, she seemed like a grounding presence.
See my post above for link to pictures from Aug 31 – long after her moms interview
There were some paps pics but far less than there used to be, and a few instagram pics of them floating around in group shots since her mom’s revelation. I think the coming out in Nylon basically negated any “she’s hiding since her mom” outed her type of thing.
She’s also been filming in LA/NYC since August, so it could be that they didn’t break up but that they are just in different locations at this time….That said I think she’s supposed to go straight to France to film another film after this one, so the whole busy schedules plus Alicia being tired of the jet-setting could also be true. I also wonder if Alicia didn’t like the attention, since some of the gossip sites were vicious about her looks, especially her nose, and the twi-hards are notoriously crazy and were writing some pretty awful homophobic screeds on her friends IG.
I tend not to believe Radar, but she’s been filming in L.A./NYC for a few months and then she’s headed off to do another film in France…so I could definitely see it being a busy schedule thing coupled with Alicia perhaps being tired of having to fly out just to see her. Plus, they are young and they’ve been together for a year or so and at that point most people know whether or not to keep going or not with a relationship.
Alicia doesn’t travel to see her. I think she went to Nola when she was filming American Ultra for her birthday – but she hasn’t gone anywhere else as she has a day job herself. I often wondered how that worked because Kristen has been working her ass off. She’s made 10 movies in 3 years and goes straight to Europe when she’s finished the Woody Allen movie. It’s hard to make that work, but they seem to do it. I think they are still together, they just haven’t been papped together too much, but they were obviously together in that balcony photo from a few weeks ago. Ill never understand why certain people try to make out that Kristen is hiding anything – she held Alicia’s hand in LAX and Coachella, and is always with her when she is actually in LA.
She has also made it clear that she is attracted to people not based on their gender. Does she need to spell it out? She’s not going to, but that doesn’t mean that people should say she’s hiding anything. She isn’t/
Never a couple
i want to root for her because i like her relationship with alicia (i think they are still together) but i just can`t. it`s so disappointing how fake she is in public. like she claims she is such a rebel and so different than all the other actresses but she is really not. she is actually more thirsty than her peers. she goes to the most fashion shows, does the most fashion campaigns and the most fashion shoots for magazines. no one of her peers does as much “famehungry” stuff than she does. and she wears all those ugly chanel dresses that look like they are made for 45 year old women. i am pretty sure she would NEVER wear that stuff if it weren`t for her chanel contract which she only has because she wants that fame. and don`t even get me started on her working with woody childmolester allen….i actually DO think she is kind of rebellious and different in her private life but how disappointing is it that she presents a completely different image on the red carpet and all that public stuff. it`s like she is showing us that you have to play that “pretty girl” to be successful, that you can`t be yourself. i don`t know maybe it`s just me but her actions don`t match what she is preaching. like she tells you to not be superficial…while she is in tons of make up, disigner clothes and hair made by hairstylists on a photoshopped to death cover which she does TONS every year. and why are you so invested in the superficial fashion world then? why are you doing that chanel shit? your job is acting and not modelling…
Not quite sure where you got the “she’s more thirsty than her peers…” idea from. The only shows she really goes to are the Chanel shows since she’s contracted with the brand and she’s in fashion magazines because she’s promoting her work (Still Alice, American Ultra, Sils Maria, etc). It’s all interconnected – design houses want to work with stars and vice versa because of exposure and money. Sorry if you think she’s selling out, but she’s not the only one that has ever done this.
If you’re going to call her out for working with Woody Allen, please call out Emma Stone, Scarlett Johanssen, Cate Blanchett, Rachel McAdams as well.
And she’s what, 25/26? Her personality’s going to change as she grows, just like everyone else does. Sorry she’s not the super rebellious, anti-movie star grungy girl you thought she was, but I don’t anyone is the person you really think they are, especially celebrities these days.
true i think most celebrities are like this. the difference is they aren`t claiming that they aren`t like this but kristen does. like i said in interviews she says something but it doesn`t match what she does at all. chanel is not her first contract. she already did balenciaga which by the way i thought was so much more fitting for her. she barely even talks about her movies in the fashion magazines…she promotes herself in those and not the movies. why wasn`t jesse eisenberg on covers? was he not supposed to promote the movie since he was the lead?
oh and don`t worry i question everyone who has worked with woody allen but especially the ones that work with him after 2014 when dylan wrote the letter. so emma stone, joaquin phoenix, jessi eisenberg, and everyone in that movie now can just fuck off just like kristen. they ALL know about that letter what is there to defend? why support such a creature? because they are fame and awards hungry thats way. too bad allen had like 2 or 3 good movies since 2000! he WAS a great director now he just copies his previous work and doesn`t grow as a director or screenwriter.
i am stanning hard for all lgbtq couples in hollywood because i think they DO change something in hollywood so i like her with alicia but her as the person she is in interviews and in public…not so much. she has also said some horrible things in interviews which also make me question her personality but yeah i don`t know her personally so.
I am a cynical person. I think Kristen explored this relationship out of boredom and because she thought she couldn’t/wouldn’t have a big career post-Twilight. However, the Cesar and the Woody Allen movie happened and now she’s going to play it straight. She’s like Blake Lively, giving up her career until it comes back around.
