Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer Tie the Knot and Set the Stage for Their Debut Film "The Wrong Girls"
Kristen Stewart and screenwriter‑director Dylan Meyer tied the knot in a low‑key Los Angeles ceremony on April 20 2025, a day that also marked the completion of Meyer’s first feature, The Wrong Girls. The couple announced the marriage with a handful of social‑media posts and a brief statement from their publicists, leaving fans to celebrate the union of two creative minds who will soon share the silver screen.
Meyer’s debut, distributed by Neon, opens nationwide on August 14 2026. The film, a stoner comedy written and directed by Meyer, follows a rag‑tag group of friends as they navigate a night of drug‑induced chaos and misadventures. The script, a “fun, chaotic, and honest look at friendship and the consequences of excess,” will see Stewart in a lead role alongside a roster that includes Alia Shawkat, LaKeith Stanfield, Tony Hale, Zack Fox, Seth Rogen, Kumail Nanjiani, Kate McKinnon, and Geena Davis. Meyer’s previous work on Netflix’s 2021 comedy Moxie and the 2016 drama XOXO earned her a reputation for sharp, character‑driven storytelling.
In an exclusive interview with E! News, Stewart praised Meyer’s influence on the production. “It’s the way that she chooses the people that surround the thing that she loves so much,” Stewart said. “You have to find people that love it just as much, because as a filmmaker, it’s yours first, but then it has to transfer.” She added that Meyer’s directing style creates an environment where the crew feels invited to “jump into any hot or cold water for her,” making the set a “fun” experience.
Meyer, who was 39 at the time of the interview, acknowledged that her interest in Stewart predated their romance. “I actually shared it with her probably seven years before we ever reconnected and started dating,” Meyer told the same interview. “When I first met her, I always wanted Kristen to be in the movie.” She clarified that her attraction to Stewart was not the reason she began dating her, noting that Stewart was “the perfect person for the part” in the film.
The couple’s dynamic on set has been described as complementary. Stewart, known for her meticulous approach to acting, said that she and Meyer bring “very different, very cohesive energies.” She noted that Meyer is “meditative and very, very macro,” while she herself is “so micro,” a contrast she believes works well for their collaborative process. Stewart’s career has spanned blockbuster franchises and independent dramas, from her breakthrough as Bella Swan in the Twilight series to an Academy Award‑nominated portrayal of Princess Diana in Spencer (2021). Meyer’s background as a writer includes the 2016 film XOXO and the 2021 Netflix comedy Moxie, both of which showcased her skill in crafting sharp, character‑driven narratives.
The release of The Wrong Girls is positioned as a notable entry in the 2026 comedy lineup, with Neon handling distribution. The film’s cast, production team, and the personal partnership between Stewart and Meyer have drawn attention from both critics and audiences. While the film’s box‑office performance remains to be seen, industry analysts view the project as a potential boost for both the actors’ careers and the studio’s slate.
As of now, the film is scheduled for a wide theatrical release on August 14 2026. No further details about marketing or ancillary distribution have been announced. The marriage of Stewart and Meyer, confirmed by public statements and social‑media posts, underscores a partnership that blends personal and professional collaboration.
The couple’s wedding and the upcoming film release highlight a growing trend of Hollywood creatives who merge personal relationships with joint creative ventures. The industry will be watching how The Wrong Girls performs both critically and commercially, and whether the Stewart‑Meyer partnership will inspire similar collaborations in the future.
