Five years in, Kristen Stewart is getting ready to have children with fiancée Dylan Meyer.
In a lengthy, intense new Rolling Stone cover story published today, the Twilight star said she and Meyer have been talking about expanding their family—which includes them and their several cats and dogs.
“I don’t know what my family’s going to look like, but there’s no fucking way that I don’t start acquiring kids,” Stewart said. “And also, ideally at some point soon I go, ‘I want to have a kid.’ I really want that to happen.”
The actor added that she and Meyer (who marked this Valentine’s Day with a tribute to Stewart on Instagram) have started making preparations to get pregnant, and have discussed the possibility of carrying each other’s embryos. “I’m not scared of being pregnant. I’m not scared of having a kid,” Stewart explained. “But I’m so fucking scared of childbirth, it’s crazy.”
“Have you ever been too on drugs where you’ve suddenly needed to be on your hands and knees?” she asked, noting that in those moments, an out-of-control sensation takes over your body. “I hate that. I mean, I smoke a lot of weed—I obviously self-medicate—but I don’t like hard drugs. And I’ve tried—a lot. I just can’t deal.”
Still, she likes to think that she can overcome her fear and welcome a child with the love of her life when the time comes.
“I found the right person because I can be so obsessive about what I do. And luckily my girlfriend, my partner, we are into the same shit,” Stewart said. “We have taken the things that we’re spending our time on and interlocked them, and we’re so much fucking smarter and stronger together. And you’re just like, ‘Fuck, that is the best.’”
