‘Finally I can feel again’ Kristen Stewart on her LOVE for Alicia

Kristen Stewart is well known for being super private about her love life, so the fact that she has now opened up about her relationship with Alicia Cargile would suggest that Alicia could be a keeper.

In a new interview with Elle magazine, the Café Society star confessed she is "really in love" with her girlfriend and explained how her relationship with the visual effects producer is so different from her time dating Robert Pattison. 

She said: "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 26-year-old actress also admitted that while she and Alicia have had their fair share of problems, their relationship is currently going strong.

She said: "We've broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, 'Finally, I can feel again.'"

"I think also right now I'm just really in love with my girlfriend."  Awh!

While this is the first time the actress has verbally confirmed her relationship with Alicia, they seem to have been linked for quite some time.  As well as being spotted in public together on numerous occasions, last summer Kristen’s mum referenced the relationship in an interview with Nylon magazine.

Kristen has previously said she would not feel comfortable making a big "coming out" announcement about her sexuality, so we're delighted to see the actress has found a way to open up about love that she is happy with.
