Kristen Stewart isn’t just known for her smoky glare and brooding screen presence — her love life has been equally dramatic, unpredictable, and, in recent years, refreshingly authentic.
Once the most secretive star in Hollywood, Stewart has traded in cryptic shrugs and no-comment interviews for proud declarations of love — and even a wedding ring. These days, the Spencer star is married to screenwriter Dylan Meyer, embracing a public, joyful relationship that stands in stark contrast to the rollercoaster romances of her earlier fame.
Of course, no conversation about Stewart’s relationship history can avoid the cultural earthquake that was Kristen and Rob. Stewart and her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson set hearts (and Tumblr dashboards) ablaze in 2009 when their on-screen vampire romance bled into real life. For years, they were the golden couple of the young Hollywood scene, their every move tracked — even by then-private-citizen Donald Trump, who famously tweeted unsolicited advice about their breakup.
But the fairytale imploded in 2012 when Stewart was caught in a cheating scandal involving her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. The fallout was brutal, public, and left a permanent mark on her image. Stewart apologized. The couple tried to reconcile but finally split for good in 2013.
Before Twilight took over her life, Stewart had dated actor Michael Angarano, her co-star from Speak, until their quiet split in 2009 — a mere footnote compared to the media firestorm that followed.
Post-Pattinson, Stewart emerged from the wreckage with a different kind of boldness. She began openly dating women, making headlines and waves as one of the few major actresses living her queer truth in front of the camera and behind it. From 2013 onward, Stewart transformed from Twilight’s quiet ingenue into a defiant, stylish figurehead for LGBTQ+ representation in Hollywood.
She was in a long, off-and-on relationship with visual effects producer Alicia Cargile, which wrapped in 2016. That same year, Stewart was romantically linked to indie music icon St. Vincent (a.k.a. Annie Clark), fresh off the latter’s breakup with model Cara Delevingne.
Then came model Stella Maxwell — another on-again, off-again romance that captivated the press. The two dated through 2017 and 2018, took a break, rekindled things in 2019, and eventually split for good. During their first pause, Stewart briefly dated stylist Sara Dinkin.
And finally, in 2019, she reconnected with Dylan Meyer — a screenwriter with indie cred and a talent for staying out of the drama. Their relationship blossomed into a steady, loving partnership, culminating in marriage. Stewart now beams when talking about her wife, calling her “brilliant” and “my person.”
From tabloid chaos to domestic bliss, Stewart’s love life has had all the plot twists of a Hollywood drama — and it’s finally got the happy ending it deserves.
