The Transformation Of Kristen Stewart From 11 To 31 Years Old

In addition to playing the lead character in the global phenomenon that was "Twilight," Kristen Stewart also caused a media frenzy when she became romantically linked to Robert Pattinson, who portrayed Bella Swan's love interest, Edward Cullen, in the movies. Their relationship became public in August 2009, when they were spotted at a Kings of Leon concern in Vancouver, according to PopSugar.

Years later, when Howard Stern told Stewart during an interview that dating a co-star is "the biggest mistake an actor can make," she stated that "there was nothing I could do." However, Stewart admitted that she was "self-conscious" about being in love with Pattinson, because she didn't want the public to think she was trying to seek "attention" through it.

Stewart and Pattinson's relationship suffered a sudden — and highly-publicized — shock in July 2012, when reports surfaced that she was having an affair with the director of "Snow White and the Huntsman," Rupert Sanders, as People reported. "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry," Stewart said in a statement. She and Pattinson reconciled a few months later, but the relationship only lasted a few months after that, coming to a definitive end in May 2013, per E!.
