Kristen Stewart Says She's 'Really In Love' with Girlfriend Alicia Cargile and We Couldn't Be Happier for Her

A new Elle UK interview with Kristen Stewart might be one of the most personal the actress has ever given, and we love what she has to share. While discussing her new movie Café Society with the publication, Kristen was asked about her relationship with her girlfriend, Alicia Cargile. While she usually keeps her relationships out of the spotlight, this time, Kristen had no problem opening up about being in love.

"I think also right now I'm just really in love with my girlfriend," Kristen declared, "We've broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, 'Finally, I can feel again.'"

For the last several years, paparazzi shots of Kristen and Alicia have been surfacing, and Kristen also came out as "not hiding" in aNylon interview in 2015. She got candid in a Variety interview in May of this year, admitting she has no problem being in public with her partners, but doesn't want to label herself. Now, Kristen is elaborating even further, declaring herself "so much happier," than she's been in past relationships. As she stated to Elle UK:

"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. 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 happier Kristen is, the happier we are! We can't wait to see her in Café Society, which opens in wide release on July 29th.
