Of course, this isn't the first time Fanning has chatted about Stewart.

In fact, while promoting Breaking Dawn Part 2 last November, the 18-year-old actually came to her BFF's defense in the wake of that whole cheating scandal.

"Well, I just think that media frenzies like that...Everyone thinks they have the right to, you know, publicize the struggles and sadness and heartbreak and all that," Fanning told InStyle UK at the time. "It's like, 'Why do you think you are the authority to judge people's experiences?'"

Yep. When it comes to buds, Fanning's definitely a keeper.
