Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the power duo behind Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in the "Twilight" saga, weren't just turning heads on screen — they were sending fans into a frenzy off-screen too. Sparks flew on the set of the teen vampire drama, and rumors of a real-life romance started swirling. As the "Twilight" saga unfolded, so did the gossip.
From details about their steamy audition to red carpets, Pattinson and Stewart's outings became a game of "are they or aren't they?" It wasn't until 2012 that the two made their first public appearance as a couple at the Teen Choice Awards (per Marie Claire). The confirmation came shortly before tragedy struck: pictures surfaced of Stewart and her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director, Rupert Sanders, kissing.
This led Stewart to publicly apologize for her infidelity and it cost her a role in the upcoming film sequel (via The Mirror). She finally opened up about the incident, which eventually led to her split from Pattinson, years later. "It wasn't innocent, that was a really hard period of my life," Stewart admitted on The Howard Stern Show. Of choosing not to speak on her relationship with Pattinson, the "Spencer" actor reflected: " ... I was so self-conscious about seeming like an attention-seeker. We were together for years, that was my first [love]."
