Closed orbits and reductive groups

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group defined over a field $k$ and $X$ an affine $G$-variety.

In the case $k$ is algebraically closed we have the following result:

Let $x\in X$ such that the orbit $G\cdot x$ is closed, then the stabilizer $G_x$ is reductive.

Is this result also valid for more general fields, as perfect fields?
