Still, fans were reminded of Stewart’s notorious affair as the 22-year-old actress promoted Breaking Dawn Part 2 in Tokyo, Japan on Wednesday. Speaking at a fan event, Stewart got philosophical and empathetic about her character’s complicated connections to Edward (Pattinson) and Jacob (Lautner).

“As a woman, I think it’s really important not to discredit feelings,” she explained of Bella’s attachments to both men. “There weren’t too many difficulties with the whole love triangle thing. I mean, she needs Jacob in her life.”
