'I do...': Dylan Meyer celebrates marriage to Kristen Stewart with romantic pictures
Washington [US], April 25 (ANI): Actress Kristen Stewart and screenwriter Dylan Meyer exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at their Los Angeles home on April 20. Dylan is celebrating her wedded bliss with Kristen Stewart, and she shared romantic pictures from the intimate ceremony, reported People. Taking to her Instagram handle, she shared adorable pictures of Meyer wrapping her arms around Stewart as they gazed into each other's eyes. The photo offered a closer look at Meyer's bridal attire, an off-white minidress composed of a sheer top and a satin skirt, as per the outlet. Stewart can be seen wearing a grey miniskirt and blouse set with a white shirt underneath. In another picture, the stunning couple can be seen sharing a sweet kiss. "I do. I really really really really really do," Meyer captioned the post, according to People. Meyer and Stewart tied the knot at Mexican restaurant Casita Del Campo. The restaurant previously advised its customers on Instagram that it would be closed on Easter Sunday for "a private event day and night," as per the outlet. The couple obtained their marriage license earlier in the week before saying "I do" in front of family and friends. This development comes over three years after Stewart confirmed her engagement to Meyer. In addition to close family and friends, guests at the wedding ceremony included Ashley Benson and her husband, Brandon Davis, who were spotted wearing matching black outfits, according to People. In an earlier interview, Stewart shared details about her proposal, saying, "I wanted to be proposed to, so I think I very distinctly carved out what I wanted. And, you know, she nailed it. It was really cute. She did very well." Stewart had previously expressed her desire for a low-key wedding celebration. "I want to stay home. Like, I want to be in L.A. so everyone can come," she said. "And, you know, I want it to be pretty chill. Like, I don't want anyone walking anyone down any aisles. Like, we're just going to, like, stand and, like, do vows after," the 'Snow White and the Huntsman' actress said. Stewart and Meyer met "years ago" while working on a movie, but didn't reconnect until a friend's birthday party six years later. They sparked romance rumours in August 2019, and by that September, Stewart had told in an interview that she couldn't "... wait" to get engaged. Stewart had expressed her happiness about marrying Meyer, and said, "I feel so lucky... It's so nice to know something in this world. I know I'm so surely happy. I'm so stoked." The ceremony marked a special moment for the couple, surrounded by loved ones. (ANI) First Published: 25 Apr 2025, 11:53 AM IST

As Kristen Stewart marries Dylan Meyer, revisit Twilight star's cheating scandal with Snow White director
It's been nearly two decades since Kristen Stewart landed her breakout role in the teen vampire romance franchise, Twilight. These days, the 35-year-old actress has evolved from rebellious child star to respected industry professional, even receiving an Academy Award nomination for her role as Princess Diana in 2021's Spencer. This week, she also marked another momentous occasion – tying the knot with her long-term girlfriend Dylan Meyer in an 'intimate' wedding ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday. Prior to sparking a relationship with the 37-year-old screenwriter in 2019, Stewart was once famously known for her on-again off-again relationship with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, which shockingly ended at the hands of her infidelity. In July 2012, a 22-year-old Stewart was infamously photographed in the arms of 41-year-old married director Rupert Sanders. The pair had just come off the heels of promoting their film, Snow White and the Huntsman, as they were captured in a parking lot making out in Stewart's car. They were later seen standing off the side of the road where the groping continued, before the actress dropped Sanders off a few blocks from the Hollywood Hills home he was sharing with his then-wife, model Liberty Ross, and their two young children. What's more, Ross starred as Stewart's on-screen mother in her husband's Snow White movie adaptation. The scandal instantly shocked fans of the Twilight couple, who had formed an instant connection when they met in 2007 as on-screen lovers Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. While Stewart and Pattinson briefly split following the affair, they rekindled their romance only to call it quits for good in May 2013. Meanwhile, Ross didn't leave any room for reconciliation and swiftly filed for divorce from Sanders in January 2013. But the British-born model hasn't fared too terribly in the years since their divorce, considering she's now married to a record executive worth $1 billion, Jamie Iovine. As Stewart celebrates her long-awaited nuptials to Meyer, here's a look back at the cheating scandal that led to the demise of one of Hollywood's most adored A-list couples. Kristen Stewart Back in 2007, Stewart was just 17 years old when she crossed paths with British heartthrob Pattinson while filming the first installment of the Twilight movies, based on the best-selling books by Stephanie Meyer. Despite much fan speculation in the years that followed, the former couple didn't confirm their relationship until 2010. But that all came crashing down on July 17, 2012 when the Charlie's Angels star was photographed in a romantic rendezvous with her Snow White and the Huntsman director. Just days after the photos surfaced, Stewart issued an emotional apology to her boyfriend, describing her tryst with the married director as a 'momentary indiscretion.' 'I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected,' she said. 'This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry.' While it was reported at the time that Stewart and Pattinson had briefly separated, the couple reunited in September 2012 and had appeared to work through their rough patch while promoting Breaking Dawn: Part 2. But less than a year after her cheating scandal, the pair officially split in May 2013 after almost four years together. Speaking to The Sun in one of her first interviews since the affair, the Happiest Season actress admitted she has made 'mistakes' and explained how backlash from fans made her want to lock herself up in her hotel room. 'You have to be OK with your own fears,' Stewart said in 2012. 'If you're an honest person you'll make mistakes, but that's when the most interesting things happen. 'I used to just stay in my hotel room rather than deal with everything, but if you get too caught up in what others think you become a really disjointed person.' Nearly two years after her split from Pattinson, Stewart gave a rare glimpse at how the scandalous affair turned her world upside down. 'I lit my universe on fire and I watched it burn,' she lamented to Marie Claire in July 2015. As for what led to the affair, Stewart admitted she had experienced 'a really traumatic period in my early 20s that kick-started something in me that was a bit more feral.' 'Between ages 15 and 20, it was really intense. I was constantly anxious. I was kind of a control freak,' she said. 'If I didn't know how something was going to turn out, I would make myself ill, or just be locked up or inhibited in a way that was really debilitating.' After pulling back from the spotlight, Stewart was able to more easily find perspective about that time in her life. In 2019, marking her most candid interview about the affair, Stewart insisted to SiriusXM host Howard Stern that she 'did not f**k' the married Snow White director. Stewart acknowledged it was assumed that she did sleep with the father-of-two, and admitted that when 'you make out with a dude in public, it definitely looks like you did [have sex].' But the actress maintained that she wasn't 'in love' with Sanders and she fully 'wanted to' marry her Twilight co-star and live-in boyfriend. 'We were together for years, that was my first [love],' she told Stern about Pattinson. 'I was super in love with my high school boyfriend. Super f***ing in love with him but me and Rob were a little older.' Perhaps what bothered Stewart the most about the entire incident was the 's**t-shaming' she faced from the public for her involvement in the affair, as well as being banned from the film's sequel. 'We lived in a different time then, you know what I mean? I feel like the s**t-shaming that went down was so absurd,' she told Stern, before adding: 'And they should've put me in that movie! It would've been better. Not to be a d**k, but….' 'They didn't put me in that movie because I went through such a highly publicized scandal, and so they were, like, scared of touching that.' As for her relationship with Pattinson today, the former exes have shared brief but pleasant words about each other since calling it quits over a decade ago. The pair had a surprise reunion when Stewart, along with Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, 'crashed' Pattinson's 37th birthday party in 2023. But don't expect Stewart to be divulging any further details about her romance with her former co-star any time soon, as it seems the Love Lies Bleeding actress is now bored to death by the conversation. 'Rob and I can't just keep talking about that s**t, because it's f**king weird,' she told Rolling Stone in February 2024. 'It's like if someone kept asking you – I mean for literally decades – "But senior year in high school?" You're like, "F**king A, man! I don't know!"' Robert Pattinson Despite being the scorned lover in his ex-girlfriend's cheating scandal, Pattinson has maintained a relatively indifferent perspective when it comes to the end of his relationship with Stewart. Two years after the affair, the Harry Potter star finally broke his silence in an interview with Esquire magazine – revealing that he's actually quite understanding about the incident. Following his split from Stewart, the Batman star was engaged to singer FKA Twigs in 2015 but called off their engagement in 2017 'S**t happens, you know?' he said. 'It's just young people… It's normal! And honestly, who gives a s**t? 'The hardest part was talking about it afterwards. Because when you talk about other people, it affects them in ways you can't predict,' he continued. 'It's like that scene in Doubt, where the character is talking about how to take back gossip? They throw all those feathers from a pillow into the sky and you've got to go and collect all the feathers.' Following his split from Stewart, the Batman star was engaged to singer FKA Twigs in 2015 but called off their engagement in 2017. He's been in a relationship with actress and model Suki Waterhouse since 2018. The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter, in March 2024. Rupert Sanders For Sanders, all it took was a kiss for the movie director to implode his relationship with his then-wife of 10 years. The English filmmaker married model Ross in 2002 after meeting through Ross's brother, award-winning composer Atticus Ross. Snow White and the Huntsman had marked Sanders' first feature film debut, after previously directing several TV commercials. But that all came to a screeching halt when he was caught kissing the film's lead star, who was also in a relationship at the time. Shortly after Stewart issued a public apology to Pattinson for the affair, Sanders shared his own emotional apology directed towards his wife and their two children: daughter Skyla and son Tennyson. 'I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family,' he told People. 'My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together.' However, Sanders' public lament for his wife wasn't enough as she filed for divorce in January 2013. Their split was finalized in July 2014. Speaking about the affair five years later, the filmmaker described the incident as a 'momentary lapse.' 'If you took people off the table for a momentary lapse, there would be no one making art,' he told UK's Metro in April 2017. 'You never know what's coming in life… Around every corner there's something unexpected, and that's life. You just have to brush yourself off and continue moving forward the best you can. Everyone makes mistakes. I am bound to make more mistakes, and I wouldn't expect my life to be exciting if I didn't.' Sanders has since gone on to direct 2017's Ghost in the Shell and 2024's The Crow. He also directed the pilot episode of the Apple TV+ science fiction series Foundation. Liberty Ross Before Ross was forced to end her first marriage after her husband's highly publicized affair, the 46-year-old London native had appeared on covers of British Vogue and in luxury campaigns for Burberry, Jimmy Choo and Dior. But after tying the knot with Sanders in 2002, Ross took a long hiatus from modeling to focus on being a mother to her two children Skyla and Tennyson. Just two weeks before her husband's affair was revealed, the model admitted their 10-year marriage had suffered due to Sanders' rising career in Hollywood. 'I think that having been a model and so self-sufficient for those years, I was very ready to get married and have babies,' she told You Magazine in July 2012. 'I romanticized domesticity for a while, and loved having a shopping list of groceries stuck to the fridge for the first time. 'But moving [from London to Los Angeles] and starting a life all over again was a lot harder than I had anticipated. I just didn't think it would be as isolating and daunting as it turned out to be,' she said. 'I would never say out loud that I am raising my children alone, but a lot of the time it has felt like that,' Ross continued. 'I went from the glamour of working with Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano to living on an isolated hilltop, with my husband gone most of the time.' At the time, Ross had seemed to think she and Sanders had conquered their differences – noting that they 'rode through the really hard times and we stuck it out.' But just days later, Ross would learn of her husband's secret rendezvous with the actress who played her daughter in Snow White and the Huntsman. The stunned model appeared to react to the scandalous photos by posting a series of cryptic tweets that seemed to reference the affair. In her first post, she retweeted a quote from Marilyn Monroe, which read: 'Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.' She followed this up with another retweet, this time quoting American author and poet Maya Angelou, saying: 'If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.' Ross then simply wrote, 'Wow,' presumably to highlight her shock at the news, before deleting her account. This wasn't her only comeuppance for her ex-husband, as Ross also received a hefty divorce settlement granting her $30,000 a month in spousal and child support and a percentage of some of his future film earnings. She also was granted the former couple's $1.6 million Hollywood Hills home and ownership of two other properties in London's Waterloo and Ladbroke Grove. Despite the handsome settlement, Ross didn't shy away from describing her divorce as 'horrible' to Vanity Fair. 'I have no words to describe what we went through,' she said in 2013. 'But, I think, for me, something has to completely die for there to be a rebirth. I visualized [being] this sort of Masai warrior. I was just going to stand very still and very strong.' Two years after the affair, Ross explained to Grazia how learning to trust her gut has been a vital lesson in the wake of her divorce. 'The most valuable thing I can share is the importance of living in truth,' she shared. 'Sometimes, facing those truths can actually be your worst fear. Trusting your gut is always the best thing - no matter what people around you insist you should be doing or saying or thinking. 'Only you know and once you live in truth your heart is completely free.' These days, Ross has happily moved on with husband Iovine – the co-founder of Interscope Records and Beats by Dr. Dre, the latter of which was sold to Apple in 2014 for $3 billion. Ross tied the knot with the 72-year-old executive in Malibu in February 2016 after two years of dating. Speaking to Harper's Bazaar UK shortly after sparking a new relationship with the wealthy businessman, the model revealed that she's doing better than ever. 'It's amazing what two years does,' Ross said. 'Today, I feel happier than I've ever felt, and I'm in such a great place. All of us are: my kids are great, Rupert's amazing, we have all moved on and everyone is doing really well.' She also encouraged the public to 'learn to forgive' and expressed that she has 'no problem with anyone involved' in the scandalous affair. 'I think we can grow from all experiences, even the most tragic, sh***y ones where you think you're going to die,' Ross said. 'Actually, you know, there are ways of growing with them and learning from them and moving past them and accepting them. I just feel so lucky and peaceful with everything in life, and excited and happy.'

How To Make A $13 Million Profit From Snow White
Disney's live action 'Snow White' is heading for a loss but some versions of the story have had a ... More happy ending © 2024 Disney Enterprises Inc. All Rights Reserved. With costs of at least $269.4 million and global takings of just $145.7 million after 16 days in theaters, the post-mortems of Disney's live action version of Snow White have already begun. When the movie got the green light it seemed to have everything going for it. Fresh from her success in 2021's West Side Story, Rachel Zegler was cast in the title role alongside Wonder Woman's Gal Gadot playing the Evil Queen. Oscar-winning costume designer Sandy Powell created breathtakingly-beautiful outfits for them and Spider-Man helmer Marc Webb took on the directing duties. Snow White is arguably Disney's most famous animated fairytale giving it immediate audience recognition. That heritage is doubtless a poisoned chalice because if the film had been a shot-for-shot remake of the original it would have been branded lazy and superfluous. Instead, Webb and his team decided to mix it up by deviating from the animated classic. That came with an inherent risk and, of course, so did Zegler's many outbursts. However, none of that is what really made it tougher for the film to give Disney a happy ending financially. The missing piece of Disney's magic formula was cost containment. As this report revealed, Snow White blew its budget and although the pandemic played a role by delaying production, it was far from the only dark cloud. A fire which broke out on the set soon after shooting had begun didn't help but the problem ran deeper than that. Much has been made of the colossal costs of Disney's productions. Even its chief executive Bob Iger remarked in 2023 that Disney needs to "reduce costs on everything that we make because, while we're extremely proud of what's on the screen, it's gotten to a point where it's extraordinarily expensive." If ever there was a film where the impact of this can be seen, it's Snow White. That's because just over a decade earlier, Universal released its own live action version of Snow White which earned similar reviews but had a far stronger start at the box office and, crucially ended up making a healthy profit. That film was Snow White and the Huntsman starring Kristen Stewart as the eponymous princess, Chris Hemsworth as her prospective saviour and Charlize Theron as the antagonist. The similarities to Disney's latest production are uncanny. Stewart joined on the back of the juggernaut that was Twilight whilst Theron was the established talent. Likewise, it deviated from the original story as Hemsworth doesn't live happily ever after with the princess. It didn't cast a spell on audiences. Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart starred in 'Snow White and the Huntsman' (Photo by Ben ...) Despite a strong story, gritty atmosphere, impressive effects and laudable performances across the board, surprisingly, the movie's audience rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes was lower than the score for Disney's Snow White with Universal's movie at 52% and Disney's film earning 73%. Both were certified rotten by critics and although Snow White's score was lower than Snow White and the Huntsman's tally, it was only 8 percentage points down at 40%. However, this didn't stop Snow White and the Huntsman hauling in an impressive $56.2 million domestically during its opening weekend, according to industry analyst Box Office Mojo. It is a staggering 33.2% higher than the domestic takings of Disney's Snow White in its opening weekend. Both movies were made in the United Kingdom and as this author has repeatedly reported, this shines a spotlight on the spending in a way which isn't possible with productions in the United States. That's because in the U.S., studios combine the cost of all of their movies and shows in their overall expenses and don't itemize how much was spent on each one. In contrast, studios shooting in the U.K. set up companies to make each movie or show and they file financial statements which lift the curtain on everything from the staff numbers, salaries and social security payments to the total costs. The Universal subsidiary behind Snow White and the Huntsman was called Dark Mirror Films in a nod to the way Theron's character communicates with her adviser. Its financial statements reveal that the total cost of the movie came to $219.9 million (£140.5 million) which is a staggering 18.4% less than the amount Disney had booked on Snow White 15 months before it was released. Dark Mirror Films also banked a $34.9 million (£22.3 million) fiscal incentive for filming in the U.K. which brought its net spending down to $185 million. Unlike the new Snow White movie, the Dark Mirror Films' financial statements reveal that Snow White and the Huntsman 'was within the agreed budget.' Universal did not comment on the data in its filings or the share of the theater takings it received from Snow White and the Huntsman. Known in the trade as a rental fee, an indication of the typical share comes from film industry consultant Stephen Follows who interviewed 1,235 film professionals in 2014 and concluded that, according to studios, theaters keep 49% of the takings on average. Snow White and the Huntsman grossed a total of $396.6 million putting an approximate 50% share at $198.3 million. Deducting the $185 million net spending from that left Universal with an estimated $13.3 million profit on the movie though that's not the end of the story. Charlize Theron played the Evil Queen in the 2012 version of the story (Photo by Ben Pruchnie/Getty ... More Images) Its spellbinding success encouraged Universal to greenlight a sequel and that seemed to have everything going for it as the trio of stars from the first film signed up to return alongside Emily Blunt. However, director Rupert Sanders was notably absent after he had been caught cheating on his wife with Stewart. French director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan took over and The Huntsman: Winter's War was released in 2016. Its audience score fell to 45% with critics awarding it less than half that at just 20%. This was reflected in its box office which also fell by more than 50% to $165 million. Again, it was made in the U.K., this time by Universal's Huntsman Productions, and its financial statements show that the total cost of the picture came to $144.9 million (£96.1 million) which is "as anticipated". A $29.4 million fiscal incentive brought the net spending on the film down to $115.5 million while a 50% share of the box office left the film with an estimated $33 million loss. This bottom line doesn't include any revenue from home entertainment or merchandising which both go to the studio. Likewise, it doesn't include marketing costs as they are paid by the studio. It is simply based on the net spending by the film's production company deducted from the share of ticket revenue for it. In the case of The Huntsman: Winter's War the loss was enough to put an end to the series calling some to wonder whether Universal should have quit whilst it was ahead and stopped after the first film. Given the performance of its new movie, Disney could have done a lot worse than follow that advice with Snow White.
