Years after splitting from her Twilight co-star, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart is getting candid about her former beau in a new interview with T magazine’s Women's Fashion issue. “People wanted me and Rob to be together so badly that our relationship was made into a product,” she confessed. “It wasn’t real life anymore. And that was gross to me.”

Kristen continued, “It’s not that I want to hide who I am or hide anything I’m doing in my life. It’s that I don’t want to become a part of a story for entertainment value.”

KRISTEN STEWART'S STYLE EVOLUTION

"I would never talk about any of my relationships before, but once I started dating girls it seemed like there was an opportunity to represent something really positive," the Café Society actress said. "I still want to protect my personal life, but I don't want to seem like I'm protecting the idea, so that does sort of feel like I owe something to people."

Back in July, the 26-year-old professed her “love” for her girlfriend of three years during an interview with Elle UK. “When I was dating a guy I was hiding everything that I did because everything personal felt like it was immediately trivialized, so I didn't like it,” Kristen admitted to the publication.

She added, "We were turned into these characters and placed into this ridiculous comic book, and I was like, 'That's mine. You're making my relationship something that it's not.' I didn't like that. But then it changed when I started dating a girl. I was like, 'Actually, to hide this provides the implication that I'm not down with it or I'm ashamed of it, so I had to alter how I approached being in public. It opened my life up and I'm so much happier."
