During an appearance onThe Howard Stern Showin November 2019, Stewart explained that she and Meyer first crossed paths on set and later reconnected through a mutual friend.
“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.
And as it turned out, the two had a lot in common. “We’re both from L.A. and we really love L.A.,” Stewart explained. “We both felt like trolls as kids. We’re like so similar but different. She’s a writer. She’s brilliant.”

She continued: “So I was like, ‘Wait, well, I’m not the one for sure.’ And so I was kind of joking for a bit, like, ‘No, I want to be the one to propose, like, I want to be proposed to’ and then she just grabbed that bowl and made it happen. It was f—ing so cute.”
