Kristen Stewart didn't 'hide' her relationship
OHMYGOSSIP — Kristen Stewart never “hid” her relationship with Robert Pattinson.
The ‘Twilight’ star insists she never deliberately kept her romance with her co-star a secret but just wanted something that was hers to stay that way.
She said: “I wasn’t hiding anything. I didn’t talk about my first relationships that went public because I wanted things that are mine to be mine.
“I hated it that details of my life were being turned into a commodity and peddled around the world.”
However, the 26-year-old actress has now realised how her private life can affect others too.
She told The Sunday Times’ Culture magazine: “But considering I had so many eyes on me, I suddenly realised [my private life] affects a greater number of people than just me. It was an opportunity to surrender a bit of what was mine, to make even one other person feel good about themselves.
“If it didn’t seem like a relevant topic like something that needed help, I would have kept my life private for ever. But then I can’t walk outside holding somebody’s hand, as I’m followed everywhere.
“When I was dating Rob, the public were the enemy – and that is no way to live. It wasn’t this grand statement, ‘I was so confused! Now I’ve realised who I am!’ I have not been struggling. It just seemed important, and topical.”
Meanwhile,Kristen previously admitted she felt “uncomfortable” having her personal life made public as a teenager.
She explained: “It was something I really invested in. It mattered to so many people. Something personal became the most personal thing, which is awesome because to share this is great, but at the same time I was 17 or 18 when it all kind of went down and that’s the most uncomfortable, terrible, weird … You’re 17-years-old and like ahh. But at the same time, it was good. It kind of forced me to stand at attention in this way.”
