Kristen Stewart Was Told Her ‘Career Would Go Better’ If She Didn’t Publicly Date Women
Back when Kristen Stewart was dating her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson in 2009, she was the envy of millions, but she felt uncomfortable that the relationship was commodified. “We didn’t want to walk down the street holding hands, and it sucked,” she said of avoiding photogs, adding, “We didn’t want to give it to them.”
Wed to screenwriter Dylan Meyer since 2025, the 35-year-old came out as bisexual in 2017 and gay the following year. But in a new interview, Kristen reveals that she was counseled to keep her relationships with women hidden. “I’ve had conversations with people I’ve known, loved and trusted, and still do, who thought, ‘Your career would go better if you didn’t go outside holding your girlfriend’s hand,’ ” she told ABC News. Unlike with Rob, she bristled at hiding.
“I was like, ‘So you want me to live a partial life?’ ” She refused, saying she prefers to make a statement: “I [want to] make the world a more open and accepting place.”
