Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer are marrying their talents to form the ultimate creative partnership.
As the Twilight star makes her feature directorial debut in the new Lidia Yuknavitch biopic The Chronology of Water, she shared rare insight into how her wife—whom she wed in Los Angeles in April—has influenced her own work ethic.
“She’s a consummate writer,” she told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview. “I write only because I have to. I find it miserable. I like to shoot.”
As a result, the 35-year-old has learned to lean on Dylan—who is credited as a producer on the film—to enhance her professional output.
“We have very, very different, very cohesive energies,” Kristen explained. “This might sound totally arrogant, but I think that we’re kind of unstoppable. She’s meditative and she’s very, very macro. I am so micro. It just works.”
And the movie—out now in limited release before opening in theatres nationwide Jan. 9—isn’t the only project Kristen and Dylan, 38, have in the works. They also joined forces on the upcoming movie The Wrong Girls, which is sure to take their filmmaking dynamic to new heights.
“Me and Dylan are writing a movie,” Kristen teased to Interview magazine in June 2023. “It's a stoner girl comedy, and it's really f--king stupid.”
Along with the fun that will to play out onscreen, the Oscar-nominated actress revealed she assembled a dream team behind the scenes, recruiting her best friend to produce the project. In fact, she found that she much prefers working with members of her inner circle.
“I've worked with so many people that I didn't know and that I didn't like for so long,” she continued. “It was definitely valuable, but also, f--k that.”
Kristen’s personal and professional strides with Dylan have certainly contributed to her happiest season. For more on their romance, keep reading.
Years in the Making
While they were first linked publicly around August 2019, Kristen Stewart revealed to Howard Stern the following November that she had actually met Dylan Meyer six years earlier on a movie. However, their paths did not cross again until they reunited at a friend's birthday party. As she recalled to Stern, "I was like, 'Where have you been and how have I not known you?'"
L-O-V-E
"The first time I told her that I loved her," Stewart recalled to Stern, "it was like really late and we were in some sh--ty bar and her friends were there or whatever, and they like walked out, and I was just like, 'Oh man, I'm so f--king in love with you.' Like, done."
A Birthday Tribute
In April 2021, Meyer celebrated her other half's 31st birthday with a sweet Instagram tribute. "Life sure is sweeter with this cute little family," she captioned a photo of the actress and their dog. "Happy birthday, kiddo. You knock my socks off."
Popping the Question
"We're marrying. We're totally going to do it," Stewart confirmed to Stern in November 2021. "I kind of asked her. I wanted to be proposed to, so I think I very distinctly carved out my, what I wanted. And you know, she nailed it. It was really cute. She did very well. And we're marrying. It's happening."
Wedding Bells
"I want it to be pretty chill," Stewart told Stern of their future nuptials. "I don't want anyone walking anyone down any aisles. We're just going to like stand and do vows and f--king party after. It's kind of just a great excuse to get together and say 'I love you' in front of all your friends."
