Kristen Stewart apologises for affair

Los Angeles - Kristen Stewart has made a public apology to Robert Pattinson for cheating on him.

The 22-year-old beauty was photographed in a passionate clinch with her married Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, 41, despite her relationship with her Twilight Saga co-star Robert and she has released a statement admitting her guilt.

She said in a statement: "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardised the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."

'I am utterly distraught'

Rupert, who is married to model-actress Liberty Ross, with whom he has two young children, also issued an apology.

"I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family," Sanders told People magazine.

"My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."

Sources close to the Kristen insist she wasn't having an affair with Rupert and it was a fleeting mistake.

An insider said: "Kristen is absolutely devastated. It was a mistake and a complete lapse in judgment."

Kristen and Robert, 26, have been dating since meeting on the set of Twilight four years ago, in which they play vampire Edward Cullen and his love interest Bella Swan.

The final movie in The Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn Part 2, is released on 16 November.
