Kristen Stewart has addressed months of speculation about her sexuality following reports that she was in a relationship with another woman.
The American Ultra actress is reportedly dating Alicia Cargile, a visual effects producer, a partnership that was apparently confirmed when Stewart’s mother Jules told the Sunday Mirror in June: "What's not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She's happy.”
This ‘outing’, as it was widely perceived, only served to fuel the tabloid rumours and speculation that have blighted the 25-year-old since her split with her Twilight co-star, Robert Pattinson. But when asked by Nylon Magazine if she was out, her answer was more ambiguous: “Google me, I’m not hiding”.
Stewart refused to define her sexuality as anything other than fluid, telling the magazine she believed society would be less rigid about defining sexuality as essentially gay or straight within the next few years.

“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," she said. "But I am an actress, man. I live in the fucking ambiguity of this life and I love it. I don’t feel like it would be true for me to be like, ‘I’m coming out!’
“No, I do a job. Until I decide that I’m starting a foundation or that I have some perspective or opinion that other people should be receiving…I don’t. I’m just a kid making movies."
