Who are Kristen Stewart’s parents?
Stewart, who plays Princess Diana in the upcoming film called Spencer, has always been familiar with the world of lights, cameras, and Hollywood. Her parents, now divorced, are both in the entertainment industry.
Her mother, Jules Stewart, is a script supervisor. She has worked on well-known films like Jingle All The Way, Little Giants, and Noah; and she even wrote and directed her own film called K-11.
Her father, John Stewart, is a stage manager. His credits include The Grammys red carpet, The Oscars red carpet, and The Golden Globes.
Kristen, who is a vocal feminist and self-described “tomboy,” grew up with three brothers in the San Fernando Valley. Her older brother, Cameron, is her only biological sibling. He followed the film-crew footsteps of his parents, working as a lighting and rigging technician on movie sets. Kristen and Cameron have a close relationship, and they posed together for a Vogue Italia photoshoot in 2007.
Her two other brothers, Taylor (who is the same age as Kristen) and Dana, were adopted by her parents. Although not much is known about Dana, Taylor came into the public eye after he accompanied his sister to various Twilight premiere events.
Did her parents push her to join the industry?
Growing up with showbiz parents, Kristen got the acting bug at a young age. She began auditioning for commercials and film and TV roles at the age of eight.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Kristen said that although her mother dutifully drove her to each audition, she was not thrilled with the idea of her daughter entering the industry. Kristen recalled Jules telling her: “I work with these kids– they’re crazy people. You’re not one of them.”

Still, the aspiring movie star kept working towards her dream. Her breakout role came in 2002, when the then-11-year-old Kristen starred opposite Jodie Foster in the David Fincher film, Panic Room.
What is Kristen up to now?
The Twilight-alum has had her fair-share of public relationships.
But this week, she announced her engagement to long-time girlfriend Dana Meyer on the Howard Stern Show.
Rumors of the engagement began to swirl in July of 2021, when the celeb was spotted with a ring on her finger.
