My relationship with Robert was made into product: Stewart

Actress Kristen Stewart says her relationship with former boyfriend Robert Pattinson did not work out because they were made into a product.

The 26-year-old "Cafe Society" star opened up about how the public made the romance with her "Twilight" co-star more difficult, reported Entertainment Tonight.

"People wanted me and Rob to be together so badly that our relationship was made into a product. It wasn't real life anymore. And that was gross to me," Stewart said.

Stewart, who dated Pattinson, 30, on-and-off from 2008 until 2014, says she never wants to keep things secret but then she neither wants to be a part of hyped stories.
 

"I never want to hide who I am or hide anything I am doing in my life but also don't want to become a part of a story for entertainment value."

The actress is currently dating her former personal manager, Alicia Cargile and revealed that she is happy with her but still wants to protect her private life.

"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.

"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.
