This makes me so sad, but to be fair, I’m sure it makes poor Robert Pattinson even sadder. I bet he’s just sitting quietly at home, sipping tea and possibly writing heartbroken poetry because the love of his whole life cheated on him with some director. And of course, this whole thing hasn’t been confirmed or denied yet (and you know it won’t be, this is the couple who didn’t even publicly acknowledge their relationship for years, they’re not going to comment on every rumor, true or not), but it is in People.
The relationship between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson has been rocked by the revelation that the actress had a brief fling with a married director, sources tell PEOPLE.
“Kristen is absolutely devastated,” says one source. “It was a mistake and a complete lapse in judgment.”
The hookup with Stewart’s Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders occurred recently, the source says.
“She wasn’t having an affair with Rupert. It was just a fleeting moment that shouldn’t have happened,” says the source. “She never meant to hurt anyone. She’s a good person who just made a bad choice.”
A rep for Sanders, who is married and has two children, could not be reached for comment. A rep for Stewart had no comment.
The fact that this is in People along with the fact that Kristen’s rep wouldn’t comment makes me believe that it could be true, and I just think that’s so sad. Robert Pattinson always seems like such a sweetheart, and to think that he could possibly be hurting right now is just pitiful. Oh god, I sound like a crazy Twihard, don’t I? But it’s true! I mean, remember this quote?
“I’m not interested in casual relationships, I need to know people, I’m not making an existential statement here, simply, I want a family with two or three kids.”
And this one?
“There is the idea of the saving love, I believe it. I’m not mushy but I have a romantic soul.”
And it’s not even that I think Kristen Stewart is the most awful, heinous bitch that ever happened for this, because I really don’t. I have absolutely zero experience with cheating or being cheated on, and I have no idea what happened or even how Robert Pattinson actually feels about it. But bless his poor little heart, I bet he just needs a big hug.
What do you guys think of all this?
Update: Here’s the Us cover. It’s pretty cut and dry.
The picture People has of her and the director is pretty damning, as well. I wish I could say I was all torn up about this, but I honestly never understood the two of them together, despite their roles in Twilight.
Frankly, as a guy I do not see what Rob sees in her. All the girls gush about him but you her very little about her from men. Also when you see the picture of her glancing at the director she has that “were doing it” look in her eyes.
meh. Love her, couldn’t care less about him. I don’t get the obsession with Pattinson while Stewart is up there with my favourites Jena Malone & Kiki Dunst.
your lack of taste and better judgement…. well, I guess they say loads about you. Kristen is a horrible actress, unless you enjoy watching her make the same awkward, constipated look onscreen for two hours….
Her acting is atrocious and I can’t figure out for the life of me why she gets all of these great roles just to muck them up! SWATH was horrible!! Well, everyone did a good job except for her! She even lost her accent in part of the movie! SMH! Anyway! I hope he NEVER takes her ungrateful bum back!!
Nothing new. Ho’s being ho’s. I’m sure that if Pattinson should choose to, he could find some lucky lady to console him…even if it isn’t the one he’s gone out of his way to be committed to for the last few years.
I’d always assumed that she was asexual and he was sleeping around with other women on the QT. At least that was what most blind items were insinuating.
Well, it sure doesn’t look like it was just a one-nite stand or fling or whatever. He’s acting totally into her.
aw! This makes me so sad. Rob just seems like such a sweetheart. Kristen can’t get far enough past her badass complex to think through her actions and consider how they might hurt the people she claims to “love”. if she’s capable of such a thing.
People cheat because they’re not getting something fulfilled in the relationship – sex or whatever. Communication is key, but not always easy and you don’t want to hurt your partner’s feelings.
Or maybe you have talked but this amazing person just can’t fill this one particular need even after trying.
Sometimes stuff just has to hit the fan for things to move forward for better or worse.
I think Kristen was being totally human. I think she was needy and acted out. I don’t know why Rupert Sanders is being omitted here.
This is sooooooooooooooooooooo sad!!! I really loved the two of them together. They were great together on screen and they inspired the belief in True-Love. I still belive! I So Wanted My Royal Wedding. I feel that England got its Royal Wedding with William and Kate. I WANT my Royal Wedding here in the USA with Kristen and Robert!!!
They just seem so young to get married. What everyone hates about Kristen, I like. I like that she’s weird and doesnt finish her sentences and always looks like she’s going to combust. Every other actress looks and acts like every other actress. At least she’s different. I know that a lot of people hate different.
As a director, Rupert Sanders could have any number of actresses throwing themselves at him. His wife was in the movie. She was there and so were his kids. Why isn’t anyone calling him a dirtbag?
So being weird and different justifies what she did? I get what you said in other comments, people shouldn’t solely blame her. It seems as if no one is criticizing him, and he was the married one in this situation. However, both of them were wrong. I personally have no problem with her, I don’t think she’s the greatest actress, but I didn’t hate her like most. But I’m not going to give her pass bc she’s not the typical celebrity. It’d be different if she was unaware that he was a married father, but she knew.
I never said that it justifies what she did. Wheredja get that from?
I think she humiliated her boyfriend. If I were him, that would be a tough one for me to get over. Just like a lot of people, I’ve been there before. to know you’re not enough for someone stirs up a lot of different emotions; anger, sadness, betrayal, rage, indifference. Oh yeah, he’s prolly going to experience some of those.
Seriously, what bothers me is all the crucifying. We don’t know what kind of boyfriend patz is, was, is.
When I was 22, I was an “adult.” I didn’t know a damn thing.
Here’s where I’m going to take sides. If I’m forty and I’m feeling up a twenty year old, I should know better.
Remember bill Clinton and monika lewinsky?
I think if K Stewart wanted to cheat thats fine, but she should have cheated with someone that was single or even just have a girlfriend, not with someone that is married. Since they got caught Stewart lost Rob and well as for Sanders the director I am sure he will work things out with the wifey. So sad for Stewart, she should have played her cards right
The relationship was not sexual…please! If making out like they did is not a sexual relationship, can someone please explain to me what is? Emotional, sure, that is how many affairs begin. I don’t believe they didn’t have sex. Not for one minute! It is sad, but I’m sure there are plenty of willing women out there to comfort Pattinson…I would. =) If he takes her back it will tell me a lot about his character. He would be stupid to do that. Everyone knows it went on a lot longer than that one day. That is like when Clinton said he smoked pot but didn’t inhale. It’s like “here is half the truth, so it looks like I am an honest person.”
