Los Angeles, Mar 9 (IANS): Actress Kristen Stewart is reportedly taking her "Twilight" co-star and friend Taylor Lautner's advice to understand her relationship with on and off boyfriend Robert Pattinson.

Stewart and Pattinson's relationship has been on the rocks ever since the former was caught cheating on him with director Rupert Sanders in July last year.

Ever since, the actress has been trying to get her relationship with Pattinson back on track. However, things are still said to be sour between them.

"Kristen has been spending a lot of time with Taylor of late because she's been using him as a sounding board for her relationship with Robert. She thinks that he may have some insight in how she should proceed with Robert - and where their relationship is going," radaronline.com quoted a source as saying.

"Robert and Taylor are also tight, so she's been fishing a little to find out if they have been talking about anything," the source added.

However, Lautner has suggested Stewart to give Pattinson time and space to think.

"Taylor has just told Kristen that she has to give Robert time to heal still. It's not even been a year since the now infamous cheating scandal, so he can't be expected to forgive and forget so quickly," a source said.

"He also told her that Robert is busy working and trying to stay together long-distance is as tough as it gets. She needs to just be patient until he comes back," the source added.
