Loved up! Kristen Stewart‘s partner, Dylan Meyer, is now her fiancée. Stewart and Meyer, who met in 2013 but didn’t start dating until 2019, got engaged in 2021 after two years of dating. But who is Kristen Stewart’s partner, Dylan Meyer? We have those answers ahead.
Stewart, who identifies as queer, has dated several celebrities in Hollywood including her Speak co-star Michael Angarano, her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, producer Alicia Cargile and model Stella Maxwell. In an interview with InStyle in November 2020, Stewart opened up about the “pressure” to come out.
“The first time I ever dated a girl, I was immediately being asked if I was a lesbian. And it’s like, ‘God, I’m 21 years old,’” she said. “I felt like maybe there were things that have hurt people I’ve been with. Not because I felt ashamed of being openly gay but because I didn’t like giving myself to the public, in a way. It felt like such thievery. This was a period of time when I was sort of cagey.”
Stewart explained why she’s been so private about her relationships in the past. “Even in my previous relationships, which were straight, we did everything we could to not be photographed doing things—things that would become not ours,” she said at the time. “So I think the added pressure of representing a group of people, of representing queerness, wasn’t something I understood then. Only now can I see it. Retrospectively, I can tell you I have experience with this story. But back then I would have been like, ‘No, I’m fine. My parents are fine with it. Everything’s fine.; That’s bullshit. It’s been hard. It’s been weird. It’s that way for everyone.”

Stewart also revealed in her interview with Stern that she told Meyer she was in love with her just “two weeks” into their relationship. “The first time I told her I loved her, it was really late and we were in some shitty bar and her friends were there or whatever, and they walked out,” she said. “And I was just like, ‘Oh, man, I’m so fucking in love with you.’ Done.” During the interview, which was two months into Stewart and Meyer’s relationship, the Twilight actress also told tern that she couldn’t “fucking wait” to propose to Meyer and she would “absolutely” get married to her. “Yeah, I want to be, like, somewhat reasonable about it, but I think good things happen fast,” Stewart said.
