Meet the Real-Life Loves of the 'Twilight' Cast (Including One Couple Who Both Played Vampires!)
Sorry, Twilight fans! Whether you were Team Edward or Team Jacob, both of them are happily in love in real life.
The supernatural teen romance followed Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) as she navigated life in Forks, Wash., including getting involved in one of the most talked about love triangles of all time with vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).
While Bella and Edward's love story unfolded on-screen, Stewart and Pattinson, who the film's director told PEOPLE had "great chemistry" during the audition, began dating in real life. After being on-and-off for four years, the pair went their separate ways in 2013.

Years later, the former costars have since found love with other people. Stewart married her wife, Dylan Meyer, in April 2025, while Pattinson has been engaged to singer Suki Waterhouse since December 2023. Meanwhile, in November 2022, Taylor married Taylor "Tay" Lautner.
From one couple who recently got married to another who both portrayed on-screen vampires, here are the real-life partners of the Twilight cast.
Although Stewart's character Bella was momentarily torn between Edward and Jacob, she has since committed to one person: her wife, Meyer.
The pair met while on a movie set in 2013. During her November 2019 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Stewart said that "all bets were off" from the day they were introduced.
Though they didn't start dating immediately, the pair reconnected years later through a mutual friend and have been together since.

"I met her years ago on a movie and I hadn't seen her in six years, and then she rocked up at a friend's birthday party, and I was like, 'Where have you been, and how have I not known you?' She's been living in L.A. alongside my life somehow but not ever converging," Stewart said.
The actress and screenwriter got engaged in November 2021 and tied the knot in April 2025.
As for their future as newlyweds, Stewart previously told Rolling Stone in February 2024 that she and Meyer were planning on having kids one day.
'I don't know what my family's going to look like, but there's no f------ way that I don't start acquiring kids,' she said. 'And also, ideally at some point soon I go, 'I want to have a kid.' I really want that to happen.'
Much like his character Edward, Pattinson has found a happily ever after with his fiancée.

The Mickey 17 actor and the "Moves" singer first sparked relationship rumors in July 2018 after being spotted together multiple times. Though the pair have kept their romance low-key, Waterhouse gave more details of their relationship while speaking to British Vogue in July 2024, explaining that they met at a Hollywood game night in 2018.
'It was very, very intense,' she said. 'There were lots of 'big' characters [there], real heavy-hitters. ... Al Pacino was there. Javier [Bardem] and Penélope [Cruz] were there … and, you know, everyone was really acting.'
She went on to say that they spent the event giggling with each other, to the point where a director "separated" them because they were laughing too much.
After four years together, the couple made their red carpet debut at the Dior Men show in Egypt in December 2022. One year later, PEOPLE confirmed that the pair had quietly gotten engaged.
In March 2024, they became first-time parents when they welcomed a daughter.
Team Jacob got a new member when Taylor married his wife Tay.
The Twilight alum confirmed their relationship with an Instagram hard launch in October 2018. During a January 2022 conversation with PEOPLE, Taylor revealed that the pair met after his sister Makena introduced them.
"She called me and said, 'Dude, I found your future wife. You need to meet this girl.' And the rest is history," he said.
As it turns out, Tay knew who he was for years, as she was a fan of the Twilight saga — but was actually Team Edward instead of Team Jacob.
In June 2022, Tay posted a video participating in the "Show your childhood crush and then the person you ended up with" trend, captioned, "i think it's time to come clean."
In the video, she first shared images of Pattinson as Edward before cutting to a photo of Taylor as his rival Jacob. "Bout time I won something," Taylor commented.
The couple, who co-host a podcast called The Squeeze, got married on Nov. 11, 2022.
Ashley Greene, who played Edward's sister Alice Cullen, has been with her husband Paul Khoury for over a decade.
The pair met through mutual friends in 2009 and he popped the question in December 2016 while on a hike in New Zealand.
Greene shared a video from the special proposal on Instagram, writing, "This is the most beautiful moment I could have ever hoped for."
"You've successfully made me the happiest, luckiest woman alive," she added. "I can't wait to show you my unfaltering immeasurable love for the rest of our lives."
On July 6, 2018, Greene and Khoury got married. Four years later, the actress and the entrepreneur welcomed their first child — daughter Kingsley Rainn — on Sept. 16, 2022.
Jackson Rathbone might've found love on-screen while portraying Alice's husband Jasper Hale, but in real life, he is married to his wife, Sheila Hafsadi.
Following their October 2013 wedding, Rathbone told PEOPLE that he felt an almost immediate connection when he met Hafsadi in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., two years earlier.
'It was one of those things," he said. "I always said I believed in love at first sight, but I never really had that feeling before.'
In October 2023, Rathbone commemorated a decade of marriage with a sweet Instagram post, writing, "10 years married and still excited for what's to come! Thankful for every second with you ❤️."
Rathbone and Hafsadi have welcomed three kids together: sons Monroe Jackson and Felix Valleau, and daughter Presley Bowie.
Kellan Lutz's character Emmett Cullen might be in love with fellow vampire Rosalie Hale in Twilight, but off-screen, he is married to Brittany Lutz.
During an October 2017 appearance on Steve, Kellan confirmed their engagement, calling Brittany "the light of my life."
The actor and the model quietly wed that November, with Brittany announcing the news in an Instagram post by referring to Kellan as her "HUSBAND."
The pair share two children: daughter Ashtyn Lilly and son Kasen Lane.
Nikki Reed's love story is the ultimate supernatural crossover! Reed, who played Rosalie in Twilight, is married to Ian Somerhalder, who starred as vampire Damon Salvatore in The CW's The Vampire Diaries.

The couple first sparked dating rumors in July 2014 and got engaged the following January. A few months later, the pair tied the knot in Malibu, Calif., on April 26, 2015.
Reed and Somerhalder welcomed their first child together, daughter Bodhi Soleil, in July 2017. Six years later, their son was born. After having Bodhi, the actors relocated their family to a farm "very far outside [Los Angeles]," as Reed told PEOPLE in May 2022.
Elisabeth Reaser, who portrays Esme Cullen, quietly married composer Bruce Gilbert in August 2023.
Reaser and Gilbert's romance began in 2017, when she was hosting a dog playdate in her backyard and a friend called him over to join.
'She asked if we knew each other and the answer was yes, only because we met briefly eight years prior at another friend's party," the Twilight alum told Vogue in April 2024.
Fast forward to the summer of 2022, Gilbert proposed to Reaser in Italy — where they would say "I do" just a year later.
Reaser shared with Vogue that while they initially had a long list of people to invite to their wedding, they quickly realized "it didn't feel right" and decided to elope.
The pair had a few friends there as witnesses, including Sarah Paulson and her partner Holland Taylor, who officiated the Italian wedding.
Peter Facinelli portrays Edward's father, Carlisle Cullen, in Twilight, and off-screen, he is also both a partner and a father.
The Twilight alum proposed to fellow actress Lily Anne Harrison during their holiday getaway in January 2020.
While COVID-19 delayed their wedding plans, Facinelli and Harrison are busy raising their son Jack, whom they welcomed on Sept. 5, 2022.
He also shares three daughters — Luca, Lola and Fiona — with his ex-wife, Jennie Garth.

Glen Powell's Ex Gigi Paris Breaks Her Silence on Sydney Sweeney Romance Rumors After Their Public Split: 'I Hope They're in Love'
Gigi Paris appeared on Emma Klipstein's Too Much podcast on June 10 and opened up about her public breakup with Glen Powell The model and actor's split was confirmed in April 2023 amid speculation about Powell's chemistry with then-costar Sydney Sweeney as they promoted their rom-com Anyone But You, though a source told PEOPLE there was no truth to rumors about Sweeney playing a part in the breakup Addressing the rumors, Paris said of her ex and his costar, "I hope they're in love"Gigi Paris is speaking out about her highly publicized split from Glen Powell more than two years later. The model joined influencer Emma Klipstein for an honest conversation in a recent episode of her Too Much podcast. During the episode, which was released on Tuesday, June 10, Paris broke her silence on their split and how a phone call from Powell changed everything — and addressed the romance rumors between the star and his Anyone But You costar Sydney Sweeney while they were dating. Paris revealed that the pair's relationship, which PEOPLE confirmed was over in April 2023, began to break down six months before their eventual split, which came amid fan speculation about a romantic relationship between Powell, 36, and Sweeney, 27. While not naming Powell or Sweeney, Paris referenced the speculation online about the pair and shared, "It was just, this is what I have to do for my job. I had two options. I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like, 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f---?' Or stand up for myself and say, 'No, I'm actually not okay with this, and I'm walking away.' So that's what I decided to do ... I was shattered." "I just wanted respect, especially if it's gonna be public," she continued. "Like, don't make an ass out of me. Like, just don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know? And at the end of the day, it was like, well, work comes first. And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I gotta walk away. What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs." Paris then went on to criticize Powell for not shutting down the rumors at the time. "Where are you when you just need to stand up and say, 'No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn't do that.' That's all that needed to be said. And that wasn't said ... Never once." "It was serving them for their PR. Later on, it turned out that it was all, I don't know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship. Like, it was just crazy." "Just to sell a movie or not, who knows?" she continued, "And I honestly hoped that they'd end up together, because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot." Representatives for Powell and Sweeney did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. During the promotional tour of Anyone But You in April 2023, Powell and Sweeney touted their chemistry during an appearance for the rom-com at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. Months later, Sweeney addressed the romance rumors during an interview with Variety. "It's a rom-com. That's what people want!" she said. "Glen and I don't really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he's such a hard worker, and I'm a hard worker." The Euphoria star added, "They want it. It's fun to give it to 'em.' During an interview with Insider in December 2023, Powell opened up about the tension in his personal life, between his breakup with Paris and his promotional appearances with Sweeney ahead of their rom-com's premiere. "Well, look, the only reason it made things harder for me to lean into that stuff was that I was going through a very real breakup amidst a promotional tour," Powell said of his and Sweeney's decision to "lean in" to their onscreen chemistry. is now available in the Apple App Store!

"I was with someone that I really loved and cared about and was trying to kind of make sense of a lot of stuff," the Twisters star shared. "It was a lot easier for Sydney to lean into something like that because she's in a very committed and wonderful relationship and she's very happy. So it was a little harder for me." (At the time Sweeney was engaged to Jonathan Davino, though they called it off earlier this year.) Klipstein went on to ask Paris if she ever got "clarity of whether or not you were cheated on," to which Paris responded, "I have heard so many different sides of the story. I have no confirmation of what actually happened. I just know what my standards are. And for me, it just wasn't okay the way it was handled, period." In April 2023, PEOPLE confirmed that the actor and Paris broke off their relationship after three years of dating. According to a source, their relationship had previously been on the rocks, and his various filming locations put a strain on the dynamic. "Gigi and Glen had broken up several times," the source told PEOPLE in 2023 at the time of their breakup. "They had been on the rocks since Top Gun came out. Gigi was never happy with the long distance filming and when she came to Australia [where Powell was filming Anyone But You] they both decided to break up for good." During her podcast appearance, Paris denied distance was behind the split and detailed flying to Australia — where Powell was filming Anyone But You — to end things with the actor after a phone call she got from him changed everything. "I got a phone call from him right when I was about to go to Australia to work," Paris said, adding that "all this s--- was coming out on the Internet." "And he called and said, the producers and I have discussed that I think it's best that you don't come to visit ... And that's when I hung up. And I was like, this motherf----- is done to me," she added. "That phone call really is what broke me," she continued. "I thought we had hope, like, maybe when I got there that, like, things would maybe get better. But once I got that phone call, I just knew it was done. I had lost whoever that person was that I loved." "I went anyways just to look him in the eye and break up with him," Paris said, adding "it was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do." "But then I was stuck there for two weeks doing my jobs. And there was a rule, like, I was not allowed near set. I was not allowed anywhere near production. It was very bizarre," she added. The Hit Man star and Paris were first linked in early 2020 when they were spotted on a romantic vacation in Mexico. The couple made their relationship Instagram official a year later. Amid their split, some speculated that Powell's chemistry with Sweeney played a role, especially after Paris unfollowed the Euphoria actress on Instagram. However, another source told PEOPLE there was no truth to the rumors. "Gigi only unfollowed Sydney on social media because Sydney never followed her back. This had nothing to do with Glen and Sydney. Gigi is aware that Glen and Sydney never hooked up," the insider said, adding that the model felt the distance when Glen was on set. "He takes his work very seriously, and it was tough on the relationship." Paris also addressed the more recent rumors about Powell and Sweeney amid Sweeney's breakup from her fiancé Davino. "Like I said, like, I hope that if they're meant to be, that they're meant to be. It's really none of my business anymore. Like, that's what I really wanted the end to be, is to just to walk away from that, because it's a f------ circus," she said, adding, "Like, the way that they handle things for headlines or whatnot, like, I don't live that way. So you do you. It's none of my business anymore." Read the original article on People🚨 Do you have a relationship problem that could use the help of Amy Robach and T.J.

Josie Totah slams 'demonic' first date idea no one should ever suggest
Josie Totah is dishing on her dating don'ts — and her love of Robert Pattinson — in an all-too-relatable YouTube video. The Other People star recently chatted with Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Willa Bennet as part of their Blind Date YouTube series. The idea is that Bennet has to guess which celebrity she's speaking to, after which they play out a first date chock full of getting-to-know-you questions. This particular segment partially turned into a series of revelations about what not to do on a date with Totah. Don't whip out your phone to make a big deal of Instagramming dinner, don't obsess over astrology, and definitely don't ask her to go hiking. "You know what I think is demonic?" she asked. "It's always straight people who are like, let's hike. I'm like, do you want me dead in a ditch? Asking me to Runyon Canyon on a first date? You might as well have slipped me arsenic and said my goodnight prayers." Totah and Bennet also had the opportunity to discuss their shared love of Twilight (the "gayest film of all time" according to Totah), which turned into some adorable fangirling over Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse's relationship. "Beautiful people should be together," Totah declared. "I think in a world with so much hate, we should prioritize hot people interacting with other hot people." For more on social media stalking, monogamy, and which co-star Totah would absolutely date, you can watch the full episode below! - YouTube
