As Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer's relationship crosses the one-year mark, things between them are stronger than ever. It's a decidedly new chapter for Stewart, who opened up in a recent
issue of InStyle about being "sort of cagey" in previous relationships. Meyer and Stewart were first romantically linked last summer, but the couple actually met six years before on a movie set,
The actress, who will play Princess Diana in an upcoming movie and stars in Hulu's The Happiest Season, even told the radio host she's ready to propose. Ahead, everything we know about Meyer, including her screenwriting career and how she and Stewart are spending quarantine.
Stewart told Stern that she met Meyer on a movie set six years ago. While she didn't specify which one, Meyer has written and co-starred in multiple films and TV shows. She co-wrote and executive produced the 2016 Netflix movie XOXO, starring Sarah Hyland. She penned episodes of the sci-fi series Miss 2059. Meyer also wrote the short films Loose Ends (2015) and Rock Bottom (2019), which you can watch right here:
As for her acting credits, Meyer has appeared in short films including The Death and Return of Superman (2011), Wrestling Isn't Wrestling (2015), and Jem Reacts to the New Jem and the Holograms Trailer (2015).
Rumors about Meyer and Stewart's relationship began last August when the pair was seen kissing on a New York City stoop. The sighting came less than a month after Stewart was photographed kissing on-off girlfriend Stella Maxwell on a yacht in Italy. A source told E! at the time that while "it will always be very easy for Kristen to fall back with Stella," she's focused on her new relationship with Meyer.
"Kristen is spending time with Dylan and very happy about it," the insider told E! News. "She was seeing Stella for a little bit while it worked, but now she has moved on with Dylan." The source added, "Kristen isn't holding back at all and loves being with her. They are moving quickly and always together."
Stewart confirmed the fast-paced nature of their romance during her November interview with Stern, revealing to him that she told Meyer she loved her two weeks into dating. "It was like really late, and we were in some shitty bar, and her friends were there or whatever, and they like walked out, and I was just like, 'Oh man, I’m so f*cking in love with you. Done,'" she recalled. "It wasn't like a thing, and also it was like so obvious. It just is." Stewart later added of their connection, "We're both from L.A. and we really love L.A. We're both kind of like, scumbags. We both felt like trolls as kids. We're so similar but different. She's a writer; she's brilliant."
Although Stewart herself doesn't have a public Instagram, Meyer shared a first glimpse into the couple's relationship last October. She posted a black-and-white snap of a polaroid where the couple can be seen kissing. "Find me under the covers hiding from the happiness police. ?," she captioned the post.
Six months later, Meyer shared a birthday tribute for Stewart on the 'gram, writing, "It’s my absolute favorite person's birthday and I’m wishing everyone the volume of beautiful feeling I feel toward her. It's a short ride on this earth, spend your time with someone that inspires you to be the best version of yourself and lights your shit on fire."
When Meyer isn't gushing about Stewart, her social media is filled with a ton of nature and animal photos. You'll find pictures of her cats Zsa Zsa and Snack in various scenarios, as well as outdoor shots from around Los Angeles.
The couple may keep their romance private, but that doesn't mean things aren't serious between them. During her November interview with Stern, Stewart got very candid about her feelings toward Meyer. She told Stern that she "can't f*cking wait" to propose to Meyer and said she would "absolutely" get married.
"Yeah, I want to be, like, somewhat reasonable about it, but I think good things happen fast," Stewart continued, telling Stern she has a plan for how she'll pop the question. "I can't say right now, because she'll find out." Stewart also said that her matrimony plans weren't "tied to any weird sort of convention; it's just, like, when you know, you know."
Meyer and Stewart have been keeping a low-profile during stay-at-home orders, but they made a rare outing this June for a coffee run in L.A. The Daily Mailcaptured photos of the couple wearing casual gray and black outfits, masks, and sunglasses while on their errand.
The outlet also published photos of the couple participating in a Black Lives Matter protest in Los Angeles earlier this month, following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and others at the hands of police.
Most recently, sources told E! that Stewart and Meyer attended an intimate baby shower for Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund. (Stewart and Hedlund co-starred together in 2012's On the Road.) They joined the likes of Camilla Morrone (Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend) and Lily Kershaw to celebrate the upcoming arrival of Roberts and Hedlund's son.
Stewart, who next stars in the LGBTQ holiday rom-com Happiest Season, doesn't have a 'gram. However, she used her girlfriend's platform to urge people to vote in the upcoming election. "I turned the mic over to Kristen because she had some things to say and doesn’t have her own account. Happy #nationalvoterregistrationday!" Meyer captioned a selfie of Stewart in a "VOTE" tee on September 22. Kristen wrote, via Meyer's account:
"I never do this but for anyone who has not registered to vote please take this opportunity to feel HEARD. And not hopeless. I am voting because I WANT to believe in our country. Because I believe in climate change. I believe in systemic racism. I believe in freedom of speech and the right to assemble. I believe in gun control. I believe that women have a right to make choices about their own bodies. I believe people have the right to live and love and identify however they feel in their hearts without fear. I believe that people care about each other. So try and have a lovely Tuesday and vote for your fucking lives."
Meyer also shared a black-and-white photo of herself and Stewart to encourage voting. "I think I might chew my fingers off from nerves today but here’s a sweet photo @lindseybyrnes took. I really hope you vote. There are lots of crucial issues on your ballot besides the presidency and your voice truly does make a difference. The opportunity to have a say in the laws that govern you is precious, please don’t waste it," she captioned the snap.
