Kristen Stewart's public apology to Robert Pattinson didn't magically heal their fractured relationship. The British actor has moved out of their Los Angeles home after news broke that she cheated with a married director.

Wednesday afternoon, Stewart – looking worse for the wear in a white Adidas T-shirt, rolled up and frayed gray gym shorts, and black shoes – was photographed on a Los Angeles street appearing distraught. She wiped tears from her eye, rubbed her head, and held her crossed arms to her stomach. Well, there seems to be a good reason behind those tears: People magazine reports that Pattinson, 26, has packed his bags and left the home he shared with Stewart, 22. The "heartbroken and angry" actor is "in seclusion" and "not in contact" with his girlfriend of three years.

"I'm not sure they'll be able to recover from this," a source said to People about the “Twilight” sweethearts.

On Tuesday evening, Us Weekly posted their cover story about Stewart cheating with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders. In the latest issue of the magazine, there are a series of photos, taken July 17, of Stewart and Sanders kissing each other in the actress' MINI Cooper and then a secluded park-like area called Pacific View Trail, which overlooks the Hollywood sign. According to the story, Stewart left the three-bedroom home that she has shared with Pattinson since September 2011 to rendezvous with Sanders. During the tryst, she was wearing Pattinson’s blue L.A. Dodgers baseball cap. Stewart later dropped off the director three blocks from the home he shares with his model/actress wife, Liberty Ross, and their two children. Stewart then sped off, returning home to Pattinson.

After the magazine hit newsstands Wednesday, Stewart admitted to cheating and issued a public apology. "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected," she said in a statement to People. "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 – whose wife Ross played Stewart's mother in "SWATH" – issued his own statement, telling People, "I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family. My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."

In an interview Ross gave two weeks ago to YOU Magazine (excerpted on the Daily Mail), she talked about "hard times" she and Sanders endured after moving to L.A. to launch his career as a director. "I would never say out loud that I am raising my children alone, but a lot of the time it has felt like that," Ross told the magazine. However, things had started to turn around. "That's why everything feels so amazing now," she said. "We rode through the really hard times and we stuck it out."

While Pattinson has yet to comment on the cheating scandal, his decision to pack up and leave the home he shares with Stewart speaks volumes.

'Twilight' star, 'Snow White' director say sorry for fling
Posted: 26 July 2012 0848 hrs

LOS ANGELES: Public displays of affection gave way to public displays of apology Wednesday as "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart and the director of her latest movie candidly admitted they've had an illicit affair.

Stewart, 22, the most bankable actress in Hollywood, was first to take the plunge, confessing via People magazine that she had cheated on longtime boyfriend and "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson, 26.

"I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected," said Stewart, whose new film "Snow White and the Huntsman" hit US theaters in June.

"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."

Then came "Snow White" director Rupert Sanders with his own statement, saying he was "utterly distraught about the pain I have caused" to his wife of seven years, model Liberty Ross, 33, and their two young children.

"My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together," said Sanders, who is English.

Prompting both apologies was Us magazine, which revealed Tuesday it would be running "exclusive photos" of Stewart and Sanders "packing on the PDA" (public displays of affection in gossip talk) in its next issue.

It said the photos were snapped in Los Angeles on July 17.

News of the affair comes less than three weeks after Hollywood star couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes reached a "private" divorce settlement after five years of marriage.

People magazine said Stewart and Pattinson have been increasingly open about their four-year relationship, while E! Online quoted a source as saying the Stewart-Sanders fling occurred after the filming of "Snow White" was finished.

The second half of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" is scheduled to hit theaters in November, after part one helped Stewart earn $34.5 million in the year to May, more than any other Hollywood actress, according to a Forbes list.

WHAT THE....

Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart is feeling “down and lonely” following her fling with director Rupert Sanders.

The actress, who was said to be in hiding following the revelation of her tryst with the married Snow White and the Huntsman filmmaker, has been pictured in public for the first time since boyfriend Robert Pattinson reportedly broke up with her.

Looking pale and preoccupied, the Twilight star wore a low-key outfit consisting of a baseball cap, cropped T-shirt and grey skinny jeans as she carried a bunch of flowers in Los Angeles yesterday.

“Of course she is down and lonely,” a source told UK magazine Grazia. “She’s terrified of the reaction to her actions. She doesn’t feel she should be the only one to suffer for something both her and Rupert had an equal part in. She knows she’s made a mistake and she’s sorry.”

Since the news of Kristen and Rupert’s alleged affair broke, it has been reported that the actress has been dropped from the planned sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman. Universal later denied she had been axed, simply stating they were "exploring all options”.

Meanwhile, Robert has apparently been invited to spend time with fellow Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio.

The 37-year-old has reportedly asked the Cosmopolis star to join him in Puerto Rico.

It is believed that mutual friend Reese Witherspoon put the two hunks in touch after Leonardo expressed his concerns for the 26-year-old.

"Leo has been one of Rob's role models for years, and Rob was totally taken by surprise when Leo called him. He invited Rob along on a getaway he's planning when he's in Puerto Rico for the wrap party on the movie he's producing, Runner, Runner," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "Leo wants to book a mansion at a secret location on the coast so he and his pals can party in private. He's kept an eye on Rob's career ever since people started calling him the next Leonardo DiCaprio."
