Rupert’s feelings were far stronger than Kristen’s, claims a source, adding that he ‘lured’ her into their affair.

A lot of words have been thrown around to downplay Kristen Stewart‘s confirmed affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, words like “momentary indiscretion” and “storm in a teacup.” But a new report uses a very different, more pointed word to describe Rupert’s feelings towards his young ingenue: “infatuated.”

“Rupert had been infatuated with [Kristen] since the production [of SWATH], but she always kept it professional because she loved [Robert Pattinson],” a source tells PEOPLE. “She still does. It only became a flirtation recently, and she was lured into a brief situation that she never wanted.”

While Kristen deals with the fallout of her mistake, Rob is reportedly hiding out at Reese Witherspoon‘s ranch in Ojai, Calif.
