Kristen Stewart May Move to Europe to Avoid ‘Civil War’
Kristen Stewart may be the next A-lister to move out of the U.S. for political reasons.
“If the midterms don’t start a Civil War, that’d be cool. I dream this,” Stewart, 36, told Owen Thiele on the Thursday, August 13, episode of the “In Your Dreams” podcast. “I don’t want to leave. I like it here. But I will [leave].”
Stewart was discussing her current “big dream” with Thiele, 29, and her The Wrong Girls costar Alia Shawkat on the podcast when the host asked whether she was seriously considering moving to Europe depending on the results of November’s midterm elections.
“It’s a privileged thing to say but even on a smaller scale, an escape hatch is totally f***ing necessary,” Stewart replied.
Kristen Stewart infamously came out as queer in the middle of her Saturday Night Live hosting debut. “I’m a little nervous to be hosting because I know the president’s probably watching, and, um, I don’t think he likes me that much,” Stewart quipped in her February 2017 monologue, referring to former president Donald Trump disapproving […]
The Twilight actress has a notorious history with President Donald Trump, as the politician routinely insulted her during her past relationship with ex-boyfriend Robert Pattinson.
Four years before his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump, 80, tweeted that Stewart “cheated on [Pattinson] like a dog” and urged the actor to dump her. (At the time, Stewart had publicly apologized to then-boyfriend Pattinson, 40, for having a fling with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders.)
“[Trump] was mad at me a couple years ago, really obsessed with me a couple years ago, which is f***ing crazy,” Stewart later told Variety in 2016. “I can’t even understand it. I literally cannot even understand it. It’s such a far-out concept that I don’t want to believe that actually is happening. It’s insane.”
Stewart would be far from the first celebrity to move out of the U.S. over political disagreements with the Trump administration.
Ellen DeGeneres confirmed during a July 2025 interview that she and wife Portia de Rossi chose to make a “part-time” move to the U.K. permanent after Trump beat former Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 2024 presidential election.
“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in’,” DeGeneres, 68, recalled. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here’.”
Most millennials can, for better or worse, clearly recall the time now-president Donald Trump weighed in on Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s breakup scandal — and Jennifer Lawrence is no exception. “I mean, if you think I didn’t ask him about Donald Trump tweeting about the breakup with Kristen, obviously,” Lawrence, 35, quipped on the […]
Rosie O’Donnell moved to Ireland in January 2025 on the eve of her longtime nemesis Trump’s second inauguration amid his threats to revoke her citizenship. (O’Donnell has since returned to the U.S. on a temporary basis for her one-woman Off-Broadway show Common Knowledge.)
“I know myself enough to know that this was something I needed to do for the safety and sanity of myself and my non-binary child,” O’Donnell, 64, exclusively told Us in April 2025.
The midterm elections will be held on November 3 to determine which major party controls the House of Representatives and the Senate in 2027.
