He was infamously spotted in a compromising position with actress Kristen Stewart while they were both in relationships with other people. 

But Rupert Sanders says that the affair with the Twilight star was just a "momentary lapse", according to the Daily Mail. 

"If you took people off the table for a momentary lapse, there would be no one making art," he told UK's Metro, explaining that the headline-making affair didn't ruin his career. 

Ghost In The Shell director Sanders was married to Liberty Ross when the photos of him in flagrante delicto surfaced in July 2012. 

Ross subsequently filed for divorce from Sanders in January 2013. 

Together they have two children, daughter Skyla and son Tennyson.  

And Stewart was in a relationship with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.

Since late 2016, Kristen has been dating model Stella Maxwell and described herself on SNL as "so gay." 

Sanders told the newspaper that the incident with Stewart was a "mistake".

"You never know what's coming in life," he told them, continuing: "Around every corner there's something unexpected, and that's life. You just have to brush yourself off and continue moving forward the best you can. 

"Everyone makes mistakes. I am bound to make more mistakes, and I wouldn't expect my life to be exciting if I didn't."

Last year, Stewart discussed the fallout from the pictures of her and the Snow White and the Huntsman director.

"Women are so judgmental of each other," she told Variety of the backlash.

She added, "How do you resent me if you've actually never met me?"
