Who Is Dylan Meyer? 5 Fun Facts About Actress Kristen Stewart's Wife
Kristen Stewart is, of course, a household name — but her newly wedded wife, Dylan Meyer, might not ring as many bells just yet. So, to get better acquainted with the woman who's stolen the 'Twilight' star's heart, here's a list of fun facts about Kristen Stewart's wife:
1. She's the daughter of an Oscar nominee
Dylan Meyer was born and raised in Los Angeles on 4th December 1987. She is the eldest daughter of Oscar-nominated screenwriter and director Nicholas Meyer, renowned for his work on 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'. She has one sibling, her younger sister Madeline Meyer, with whom she shares a close bond.
2. She's a screenwriter and actress
Following in her father's footsteps, Dylan Meyer has made a name for herself as a screenwriter and filmmaker in Hollywood. Among her most notable works are the Netflix films 'XOXO' and 'Moxie', a coming-of-age drama co-written with Tamara Chestna and directed by Amy Poehler.
She also wrote for the sci-fi comedy series, 'Miss 2059', between 2017 and 2018. Though best known for her writing, Dylan has also dabbled in acting, appearing in several short films and an episode of the series 'Homemade', where she starred alongside Kristen Stewart.
3. She first met Kristen Stewart back in 2013
Although their romance didn't blossom until years later, Kristen first met Dylan on a film set back in 2013. She shared that the two originally crossed paths while working on a project, but it wasn't until they reconnected at a mutual friend's birthday party that sparks truly flew.
'I met her years ago on a movie and hadn't seen her in six years,' Kristen recalled. 'Then she turned up at a mate's birthday party, and I was like, 'Where have you been, and how have I not known you?' She'd been living in L.A. all this time, somehow alongside me, yet our paths never properly crossed,' she added.
4. Dylan Meyer proposed to Kristen Stewart unexpectedly
In an interview with Howard Stern on 2nd November 2021, the 35-year-old 'Twilight' actress revealed that Dylan was the one who popped the question. 'It's not a given that I'd be the one, you know what I mean?' Kristen explained. 'With two women, you never quite know who's going to take on which traditional role, not that we think in those terms.' She went on to say that she had joked about wanting to be proposed to, and Dylan simply 'grabbed the bowl and made it happen.' The actress described the moment as super cute and perfectly them.
5. They are working on a TV show together
Speaking to Vanity Fair, Kristen revealed that she and Dylan are collaborating on a television series, with Dylan taking on the writing and her doing the acting. Initially, Kristen admitted to feeling a bit hesitant about mixing work and romance. 'You don't want it to interfere with a beautiful relationship,' she said.
However, their creative chemistry turned out to be just as strong as their personal one, as they managed to write the first episode in under two weeks. 'It was like discovering a superbrain,' she shared.
Congrats to the newlyweds on their marriage! We can't wait to hear more good news from them soon!

Terence Stamp dies at 87, remembered as Superman villain and sixties icon
LONDON: British actor Terence Stamp, who became famous for playing brooding villains and starred in 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert', has died at the age of 87. His family confirmed the news on Sunday, stating he leaves behind a remarkable legacy in both acting and writing. 'He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come,' media quoted the family saying. Stamp captivated audiences in arthouse films and Hollywood blockbusters, appearing in over 60 movies throughout his career. Born in London on 22 July 1938, he first gained recognition for his role as a doomed sailor in Peter Ustinov's 'Billy Budd', earning an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe. He won Best Actor at Cannes in 1965 for his chilling performance as a psychopath in William Wyler's 'The Collector'. Stamp became a defining figure of the 1960s, working with legendary directors like Federico Fellini and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Fellini cast him as the decadent actor Toby Dammit, while Pasolini saw him as a 'boy of divine nature' in the cult classic 'Theorem'. After a brief career lull, he revived his fame as General Zod in 'Superman II' and later as Bernadette in 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'. 'I was so closely identified with the 1960s that when that era ended, I was finished with it,' he once told French daily Liberation. His career spanned big-budget films like 'Star Wars' and indie projects such as Ken Loach's 'Poor Cow'. – AFP

Actor Terence Stamp, star of Superman films, dies
LONDON: Terence Stamp, who made his name as an actor in 1960s London and went on to play the arch-villain General Zod in the Hollywood hits "Superman" and "Superman II", has died, his family said on Sunday. He was 87. The Oscar-nominated actor starred in films ranging from Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Theorem" in 1968 and "A Season in Hell" in 1971 to "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" in 1994 in which he played a transgender woman. The family said in a statement to Reuters that Stamp died on Sunday morning. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," the family said. "We ask for privacy at this sad time." Born in London's East End in 1938, the son of a tugboat stoker, he endured the bombing of the city during World War Two before leaving school to work initially in advertising, eventually winning a scholarship to go to drama school. Famous for his good looks and impeccable dress sense, he formed one of Britain's most glamorous couples with Julie Christie, with whom he starred in "Far From the Madding Crowd" in 1967. He also dated the model Jean Shrimpton and was chosen as a muse by photographer David Bailey. After failing to land the role of James Bond to succeed Sean Connery, he appeared in Italian films and worked with Federico Fellini in the late 1960s. He dropped out of the limelight and studied yoga in India before landing his most high-profile role - as General Zod, the megalomaniacal leader of the Kryptonians, in "Superman" in 1978 and its sequel in 1980. He went on to appear in a string of other films, including "Valkyrie" with Tom Cruise in 2008, "The Adjustment Bureau" with Matt Damon in 2011 and movies directed by Tim Burton.
