Kristen Stewart And Nicholas Hoult Spotted Dating; Actors Now Friends With Benefits?

Recent reports claim that "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart and "Mad Max: Fury Road" actor Nicholas Hoult are now an item. For the past months, they two have been the subject of dating rumors after being spotted together in numerous occasions.

The alleged couple hooked up after working together on the movie "Equals," where they play two star crossed lovers. According to Radar Online, a source close to the 25-year-old actress said, "The two of them have hooked up in the past since they shot the movie together and prior to that as well."

"But Kristen is not ready to get into a relationship with anyone right now," the insider said. "Not only are both of them way to busy to be heavily involved, but Kristen does not know what she wants. Kristen is keeping her options open when it comes to dating."

"But Nicholas and Kristen do have a really strong connection and being around him makes her happy," the source added. "He is one of the most simple guys in the world and, like her, he really wants nothing to do with the whole Hollywood scene."

Stewart allegedly comes from a breakup with her former personal assistant Alicia Cargile, whom she left reportedly due to the latter's increased possesiveness.

Prior to dating Cargile, the actress was involved in a longtime relationship with fellow "Twilight" cast member Robert Pattinson. The actor broke it off with Stewart in 2012 when he found out she was having an affair with "Snow White and The Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders.

Stewart, who experienced a lot of backlash when the affair went public, admitted that Nicholas Hoult helped her gain back confidence.

"We felt akin by how much we've been through, and to utilize that is so scary," Stewart said in a statement published by Movie News Guide. "And to acknowledge it, reassess, and jump back into it? Usually, you want to move on. But at least, we could use some of that for some good."
