Following rumors that revealed Kristen Stewart had been romantically involved with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders while filming, the actress has now issued a statement confirming the news.

Please note that we normally don’t cover gossip, but since Stewart has issued a remark we found it appropriate to pass along to you.

She said in a statement to People Magazine:

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 jeopardized 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.

Sanders issued a separate statement, saying “I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family.”

We’re honestly very surprised that Stewart would publicly confirm recent reports and go on to issue a statement where she apologizes to Rob. This is also the first time her relationship with Pattinson has been confirmed in writing.

UPDATE: Everyone’s favorite Twilight fan, Nutty Madam, has chimed in with her take on the news:
