Kristen Stewart Is Engaged! Get to Know the Spencer Star's Fiancée, Dylan Meyer
Kristen Stewartis known for two things: Being one of the best actresses on the planet and keeping her private life very private. So it's kinda shocking that, just days before her new movie Spencer bows in theaters on Fri., Nov. 5, a bombshell about her personal life has dropped: The 31-year-old Stewart is engaged!
E! News reported on Tues., Nov. 2 that K-Stew is getting ready to walk down the aisle with longtime love of two years DylanMeyer after the actress shared the news earlier that day with HowardStern.
"We're marrying! We're totally gonna do it," Stewart gushed to the shock jock.
Why was the timing finally right? It could be that as Stewart has matured from gifted child actor (who first came to fame as Jodie Foster's daughter in Panic Room) to worldwide teen icon (from her starring role in the Twilight saga) to hugely respected movie star (see: her performances in Personal Shopper, Clouds of Sils Maria and more), she's also gained some perspective on how to handle herself in a relationship without feeling like her fame is encroaching on her personal commitments.
As she explained to InStyle in October 2020, "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.' 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. 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 added, "I think the added pressure of representing a group of people, of representing queerness, wasn't something I understood then."
It was while dating her first girlfriend that Stewart decided to stop hiding, in part because she didn't want anyone to think she was ashamed of dating a member of the same sex. However, she's still not too keen on labels.
"I had no reticence about displaying who I was. I was going out every day knowing I'd be photographed while I was being affectionate with my girlfriend, but I didn't want to talk about it," she said. "I did feel an enormous pressure, but it wasn't put on me by the [LGBTQIA+] community. People were seeing those pictures and reading these articles and going, 'Oh, well, I need to be shown.' I was a kid, and I felt personally affronted. Now I relish it. I love the idea that anything I do with ease rubs off on somebody who is struggling. That s**t's dope! When I see a little kid clearly feeling themselves in a way that they wouldn't have when I grew up, it makes me skip."

Done."
Are Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer engaged?
Another reason it's not surprising that K-Stew finally put a ring on it? She said two years ago that getting engaged to Meyer was just a matter of time.
In her November 2019 interview with Stern, Stewart revealed that she "can't f***ing wait" to propose. At the time, she and Meyer had only been together for several months, leading Stewart to explain, "Yeah, I want to be, like, somewhat reasonable about it, but I think good things happen fast." As for her specific proposal plans, Stewart wanted to keep them a secret, noting, "I can't say right now, because she'll find out," adding, "I have a couple plans, that are, like, just the coolest things to do. It's pretty undeniable... I have this really cool thing that I want to do that I want to tell you, but I just can't!"
As it turns out, Stewart was the one who was proposed to by Meyer. As K-Stew told Stern, "I kind of asked her... I wanted to be proposed to, so I think I very distinctly carved out [what] I wanted and she nailed it. It was really cute, she did very well."
Is Kristen Stewart married?
Stewart isn't married, but apparently, she's counting down the days until she is.
"I'm not a super-duper traditionalist, but every relationship I've ever been in, I thought that was it," she told Stern in November 2019, noting she's only casually dated one or two people and that the rest of her relationships were quite serious to her. She said she'd "absolutely" get married someday, explaining, "It's in no way tied to any weird sort of convention—it's just, like, when you know, you know." She concurred with Stern that marriage was a way to show that you're putting your partner above all others.
"There is nothing like feeling sure about anything, because we don't know anything," she said. "And that is the only thing you can feel like you know, is that you're in love with someone... I don't feel like I'm kowtowing to some sort of patriarchal standard, but honoring that [relationship] and having other people recognize it—f**k the government—but just people in your friends and family, that means a lot to me."
In July 2021, Stewart and Meyer were spotted out and about wearing rings on their all-important fingers, but no further confirmations or denials emerged as to their actual marital status at that time.
