Kristen Stewart's mother: 'I accept my daughter loves women and men'

Kristen Stewart’s mother has discussed her daughter’s sexuality, seemingly confirming reports that the former Twilight star is in a relationship with a woman.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Jules Mann-Stewart revealed she had met Kristen’s new girlfriend – rumoured to be her personal assistant Alicia Cargile – and gave the new relationship her blessing, asking: “What’s not to accept?”

The 55-year-old told the paper: “What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy.

“She’s my daughter, I’m just her mom so she knows I would accept her choices.

“I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her. What’s not to accept? She’s a lovely girl.”

The Hollywood script supervisor added: “I feel like people need to be free to love whoever they want. I accept my daughter loves women and men. It’s OK to be who you are in my world. We all choose our friends so we should be free to choose our lovers.

“People are good to do whatever they like as long as they’re not hurting people or breaking the law.

“I have gay friends, family members, I’m accepting of people, we are all free to choose who we want to love.”

25-year-old Kristen is notoriously private about her personal life, after being the subject of intense media and fan scrutiny during her relationship with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson between 2008 and 2014.

Stewart is next set to star opposite Jessie Eisenberg and Connie Britton in US action comedy American Ultra.
