Kristen Stewart affair 'went on for months' says Sanders' brother-in-law
Jul 29th 2012, 14:34

Kristen Stewart may have described her liaison with Rupert Sanders as a 'momentary indiscretion', but the film director's brother-in-law now claims their affair went on for months.

Last week it emerged that Stewart, 22, had cheated on boyfriend Robert Pattinson with the 41-year-old director, with the Twilight star issuing a public apology for her actions.

In a statement she said: '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 the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry.'

Rupert's father Michael Sanders had dismissed the ensuing scandal as 'a lot of fuss about nothing', saying of the affair: 'I should imagine it was something very brief.'

But now Leopold Ross, the younger brother of Rupert's wife Liberty, has weighed in to suggest the couple's affair had been going on for months.

Kristen and Rupert grew close on the set of Snow White and the Huntsman, with the pair snapped enjoying a cosy dinner together in Berlin in May.

Leopold dismissed suggestions the fling was a one-off, telling The People: 'It was from the last half of filming and all through post-production, clear into last week.'

He also revealed his sister's anger at the affair, explaining that Liberty had left her native Britain in order to support her husband's career and look after their new young children.

'She made some sacrifices for something she thought was worth it, now she knows, right? Five minutes from her home,' he said.

'Doubt it was worth it but it's life. It might actually make things better in the long run. She wasn't that happy for a while, but our family is close, she'll be all right.'

Leopold's comments are unlikely to help Kristen's chances of a reconciliation with R-Pattz, with the pair thought to be barely speaking since the cheating claims emerged.

Pattinson was thought to be on the brink of proposing before she confessed to cheating, but now is apparently only communicating with his girlfriend of three years via text message.

The pair are also thought to have moved out of their LA home, with removal vans photographed leaving the luxury mansion.

Whether or not they manage to patch up their differences the pair will be forced back together next month, when both Robert and Kristen are contractually obliged to appear together to promote the release of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2.
