For a long time now, Kristen Stewart has had to tolerate endless questions and speculation about her love life. Between the post-Twilight relationship with Robert Pattinson, dating St Vincent and now being with Stella Maxwell, the matter of Kristen’s sexuality has, for some reason, been a question that people have needed answering.
Beyond that brilliant SNL appearance earlier this year though, when she mocked Trump's dislike of her and told the world that she's 'also, like, SO gay' Kristen quite poignantly, hasn’t taken it upon herself to comment on or define her relationships or sexual preferences. You might remember her comments in an interview with the Guardian, that ‘the whole issue of sexuality is so grey’ and ‘you’re not confused if you’re bisexual. It’s not confusing at all. For me, it’s quite the opposite’.
When most recently asked about it all though, Kristen opted to explain her sexuality with a pretty wonderful metaphor. In an interview withHarpers Bazaar, she was asked whether she’d consider dating men again. ‘Yeah, totally. Definitely’, Kristen replied. ‘Some people aren’t like that. Some people know that they like grilled cheese and then they’ll eat it every day for the rest of their lives. I want to try everything. If I have a grilled cheese once I’m like, “that was cool, what’s next?”’
Sexual fluidity is a thing. And while it's no new thing, I suppose there still needs to be the realisation that society's innate fascination with who or what Kristen Stewart is into isn't necessarily going to be met. Because, as Kristen has relayed over and over again, it doesn't need to be as black and white as that. In short, it is what it is. And grilled cheese sandwiches don't have to be for life.
