In a recent candid conversation with Variety, Kristen Stewart, known for their role in the Twilight Saga, addressed ongoing speculations surrounding their identity. The 31-year-old star revealed that they had never hidden their inclinations before publicly coming out in 2017.
Addressing the rumors surrounding their sexuality, Stewart shared, “It wasn’t even like I was hiding.” The revelation about their sexual orientation came during an appearance on Saturday Night Live in February 2017, where Stewart publicly declared themselves as a gay actor. Notably, during that time, Stewart was in a relationship with a woman but had not yet embraced their identity as a non-binary person.
Reflecting on the situation, Stewart expressed, “I was so openly out with my girlfriend for years at that point. I’m like, ‘I’m a pretty knowable person.’” They questioned the motives behind the scrutiny, saying, “For so long, I was like, ‘Why are you trying to skewer me? Why are you trying to ruin my life? I’m a kid, and I don’t really know myself well enough yet.’”
The Spencer star also shared insights into their personal struggles while navigating their love life. Stewart stated, “The idea of people going, ‘I knew that you were a little queer kid forever.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah? Well, you should honestly have seen me with my first boyfriend,’” before deciding to move on from the topic.
