Hardwicke recounted the story of their unexpected reunion on the"Happy Sad Confused"podcast.
Pattinson, being the good host, naturally welcomed her inside.
“When Kristen walked into Rob’s birthday, she’s like, ‘Catherine?
What’s going on?'”
Hardwicke told podcast host Josh Horowitz.
This unexpected reunion unfolded nearly a decade after the end of Stewart and Pattinson’s highly publicized off-screen romance.
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.
She finally opened up about the incident, which eventually led to her split from Pattinson, years later.
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]."
Kristen Stewart’s journey after “Twilight” has been marked by her openness about her sexuality.
In 2015, she confirmed in an interview withElle U.K. that she was dating visual effects producer Alicia Cargile.
This marked the beginning of Stewart’s public acknowledgment of her relationships with women.
Stewart revealed that she had a disdain for her early experiences of hiding her relationships due to societal expectations. "
There were things that have hurt people I’ve been with.
It felt like such thievery," she toldInStyle.
