Kristen Stewart’s mother has reportedly revealed her daughter is in a relationship with a woman.

Jules Stewart, 55, allegedly told the Sunday Mirror that her daughter was seeing her personal assistant Alicia Cargile.

Shortly after the interview – in which Mrs Stewart also discusses her own charitable work with wolves – she denied the claims, telling US Weekly that she “never ever” discussed Kristen.

In the original interview, Mrs Stewart said: “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.”

Ms Cargile, who is presently working as Ms Stewart’s personal assistant, also works as a visual effects and film producer.

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

Stewart’s mother, who works as a Hollywood script supervisor, also emphasised her support for the LGBT community, telling the Sunday Mirror reporter: “we are all free to choose who we want to love.”

Ms Stewart, 25, found fame as Bella in the blockbuster Twilight series, starring alongside then-boyfriend Robert Pattinson. Huge public interest and pressure on the couple – alongside Ms Stewart’s exposed indiscretions – led to a permanent split in 2012.
