Kristen Steward has fallen in love with Alicia Cargile, and she isn’t hiding it.
Kristen and the visual effects producer have often been pictured in public together, spawning rumours of their romance. Neither of them confirmed or denied their relationship – until now.
In an interview with Elle UK, Kristen confessed her love for Alicia – but admitted that they have a rocky relationship. “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.'”

Kristen previously dated men, most notably Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. She contrasted the experience with dating Alicia.
“When I was dating a guy I was hiding everything that I did because everything personal felt like it was immediately trivialised, so I didn’t like it,” she said.
“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.'”
Kristen also opened up about her past anxiety issues. She used to have daily stomachaches and frequent panic attacks. Now, the in-love actress has a positive outlook on life. “I think I’m pretty good at being happy,” she said.
