“It was less about sharing the details of my relationship and more so acknowledging that there are people that don’t get full access to being alive because they’re hiding,” Kristen said in the clip obtained by People.
“I’ve experienced perspectives [and] I’ve had conversations with people I’ve known, loved and trusted and still do, who thought, ‘Your career would go better if you didn’t go outside holding your girlfriend’s hand.’ And I was like, ‘So you want me to live a partial life?

Kristen married Dylan Meyer in 2025.
