Kristen Stewart opened up to ELLE UK about her relationship with girlfriend Alicia Cargile for the first time. 

Stewart has previously declined to directly address her sexuality, though she has been significantly less shy about her romantic relationships with women in public lately.

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

Stewart recently dated French pop singer Soko before getting back together with Cargile, a producer who used to work as Stewart's personal assistant. 

When Stewart was dating her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, she kept the relationship as private as possible considering the circumstances of their super teen stardom. When she fell in love with Cargile, her instinct to be secretive remained, but Stewart eventually realized that her silence on the issue was perceived as shame.
