The Nollywood artist, Kristen Stewart, who has always lived
a private life without releasing even a minor detail of her life to the press
opens up about her love life for the first time. In an interview with
Elle
magazine, the 26-year-old actress discussed her relationship with film producer
Alicia Cargile for the first time.
"Right now I'm just really in love with my
girlfriend," Stewart said. "We've broken up a couple of times and
gotten back together, and this time I was like, 'Finally, I can feel again.'
"
Stewart's love life has been the subject of headlines for
years. Stewart said she decided to talk about Cargile so that people don't
think she's "ashamed" about being in a relationship with a woman.
"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," She said.
Stewart began dating her girlfriend 2008, but did not
publicly acknowledge the relationship until 2012. Now, she said it's easier to
admit she's dating a woman than when she previously dated a man.
"When I was dating a guy I was hiding everything that I
did because everything personal felt like it was immediately trivialized, so I
didn't like it," she explained. "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. It
opened my life up and I'm so much happier."
