Kristen Stewart dating assistant Alicia Cargile

Kristen Stewart is dating personal assistant Alicia Cargile.

The 25-year-old actress' mom, Jules Stewart, confirmed the relationship in an interview with the Sunday Mirror.

"What's not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She's happy," she revealed. "I've met Kristen's new girlfriend, I like her. What's not to accept? She's a lovely girl."

Stewart and Cargile have been linked since January, when they were spotted cozying up in Hawaii. The actress previously dated Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, but the couple broke up after Stewart was photographed kissing director Rupert Sanders in 2012.

"They were a great couple, but she's 25 years old, and I'd like to see her have a lot more life experience before she chooses someone to settle down with," Jules Stewart said of her daughter and Pattinson.

"I'm very sad that Kristen and Robert didn't have a chance to be alone together, they had to have the whole world with them, and all the public stuff ruined everything, life became overwhelming," she explained.

Pattinson is currently dating FKA twigs, and made his red carpet debut with the British singer at the 2015 Met Gala in May. The pair are rumored to be engaged, and will not be inviting Stewart to their wedding, according to Gossip Cop.

Stewart will next appear with Jesse Eisenberg in American Ultra, which released a red-band trailer in May. The actress is also scheduled for upcoming Woody Allen and Kelly Reichardt projects and the Ang Lee-directed Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.
