Kristen Stewart admitted that she was 'just really in love with my girlfriend' in a recent interview with ELLE UK.

The 26-year-old Cafe Society star put those love vibes out there as she stepped out for lunch on Thursday with the object of her affection, Alicia Cargile.

The couple was seen leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles' Los Feliz neighbourhood and looking totally in sync in black jeans, T-shirts and rugged trainers.

While Kristen opted for a white top, Alicia showed her bold streak in baseball cap and a black shirt on which was written, 'Who the f**k is Mick Jagger?'

Kristen wore her ombre hair slicked back behind her ears, trendy shades covering her eyes.

She carried a red sweat shirt in one hand while trendy bangles adorned her wrists.

Kristen and Alicia's hands seemed to touch ever so slightly at one point before they continued on their jaunt, side-by-side.

In an interview with ELLE UK, Kristen revealed that she's totally smitten with Alicia, with whom she has been romantically linked on and off for over a year, after some growing pains.

'I think also right now I'm just really in love with my girlfriend,' Kristen told the publication.

'We've broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, "Finally, I can feel again."'

In control: Kristen spoke to ELLE UK about the freedom she feels in her relationship with Alicia after going through some growing pains

Kristen, who also dated French singer SoKo, also spoke about the freedom she feels in her relationship with Alicia.

The actress alluded to former boyfriend and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson when she said: 'When I was dating a guy I was hiding everything that I did because everything personal felt like it was immediately trivialized, so I didn't like it.

'We were turned into these characters and placed into this ridiculous comic book, and I was like, "That's mine. You're making my relationship something that it's not." I didn't like that.'
