Liberty Ross Heartbroken over Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders (Photo : Flickr)

Liberty Ross' life was turned upside down ever since those pictures of her husband of ten years Rupert Sanders and her "Snow White and the Huntsman" co-star and friend Kristen Stewart wrapped in each other's arms went public. It is believed that Stewart and Sanders began their affair during the filming of the fairytale flick last year.

Before Kristen Stewart, "Snow White and the Huntsman", and just Hollywood all together, Ross and Sanders lived in England with their two small children, Skyla (7) and Tennyson (5).  Sanders was a commercial director and Ross was a working model. The 33-year-old actress/model enjoyed a life of working and socializing with high-profile designers and pursuing her passion. She sacrificed her glamorous life in support of her husband's film career. She uprooted herself and their small children and moved to Los Angeles. "I romanticized domesticity for a while, and loved having a shopping list of groceries stuck to the fridge for the first time," Ross told YOU magazine. "But moving here and starting a life all over again was a lot harder than I had anticipated. I just didn't think it would be as isolating and daunting as it turned out to be."

With Sanders being so busy with filming "Snow White" and apparently spending time with Stewart, he became an absent father. "She's been very supportive and she's been a strong single mother for the last year-and-a-half, because I haven't been around," admitted Sanders in a June interview with The Guardian.  

Before their move to Tinseltown, Sanders was a devoted lover to his wife. The 41-year-old filmmaker gushed over their love story to The Guardian. "We were at a party one night, and this beautiful girl walked in the room," he said. "I just knew I was going to marry her."  Ross felt the same way, in an interview with Daily Mail in early July, she said, "Once we started going out...I knew he was the one for me. He is a very special soul."  

The betrayal goes deeper, as Ross believed she had a real friendship with her husband's secret mistress Stewart. Ross played Stewart's mother in the "Snow White and the Huntsman" film.  The mother of two even encouraged Sanders to cast Stewart as the lead. "[Kristen] was my number one choice,' Ross told Celebuzz at the movie's London premiere in May.  "I think there is no better Snow White in my opinion. She is great. I mean, I've never watched a Twilight movie, so I don't really know, but I loved her in Sean Penn's film just for that moment that she's in it. Ever since then - she's got something very transfixing about her. We needed a modern, edgy, cool girl."
Sources are saying that Sanders' wife was oblivious to the affair however she was suspicious of the chemistry between her husband and the young starlet.

Continuing with her YOU magazine interview, Ross expressed more of the emotional struggles she face with the L.A. move but still defended her husband and marriage saying, "We rode through the really hard times and we stuck it out," she said regarding the LA transition; you have to wonder if she still feels the same way now that her husband has cheated.

Before his scandalous indiscretion made headlines, Sanders was praised for his "Snow White and the Huntsman" film and was set to create a sequel. Stewart's secret lover is now getting pressure from his wife to not continue with the film. The betrayed Ross, who has spoken out about her heartbreak, has allegedly banned her husband of seeing Stewart ever again. "Liberty let it be known in no uncertain terms that Rupert can't direct the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman," a source told RadarOnline. "They are trying to work things out after he was caught having an affair, and that is one of the sticking points. She just doesn't want him to ever work with Kristen again."

Sanders has yet to sign any contract deals with the sequel so he still has a chance to determine his future. ''Rupert is obviously disappointed because 'Snow White and the Huntsman' was his directorial debut, and he had hoped on building on that with a follow-up after some decent reviews," an insider says. ''But he knows his actions were inexcusable, and he's going to have to bite the bullet and listen to his wife on this one.'' There are now reports of the studio Universal seeking a new director but keeping the mega-star Stewart as their leading lady.

Ross uprooted herself and the couple's two small children, giving up her fashion career, to support her husband's Hollywood dream. Now, Sanders may have to do the sacrificing: His marriage or his dreams?
