Kellan Lutz continued to capitalize on his muscles, starring in movies like "The Legend of Hercules" and "The Expendables 3." In 2018, he starred in the horror-thriller flick "Guardians of the Tomb" — two years before he landed a main role on the first three seasons of CBS's "FBI: Most Wanted" (pictured). In 2022, he played Aquaman on the Netflix live-action series "The Guardian of Justice." Kellan married TV host Brittany Gonzales in 2017.

Taylor Lautner has worked in smaller projects since his "Twilight" days. The actor starred in several box office flops such as "Abduction" and "The Ridiculous 6" before transitioning into television. He starred on the BBC sitcom "Cuckoo" from 2014 to 2018 before appearing in the Netflix comedy film "Home Team" in 2022. He famously dated music star Taylor Swift in 2009 and was romantically linked to Raina Lawson, Marie Avgeropoulos and Maika Monroe before romancing "Scream Queens" co-star Billie Lourd, from whom he split in 2017 after several months of dating. In 2018, the actor and registered nurse Taylor Dome, a friend of his sister's, took their romance public; they married in 2022. In 2023, the newlyweds launched a mental health podcast, "The Squeeze," in association with Dome's nonprofit, The Lemons Foundation, on which the actor opened up about the body image issues he developed because of his intense workout routine while making the "Twilight" films.

Kristen Stewart took a brief break from acting after the "Twilight" film series ended, returning with three indies in 2014: "Camp X-Ray," "Clouds of Sils Maria" and "Still Alice." She's since appeared in "Personal Shopper," "Cafe Society," "Charlie's Angels," "Happiest Season" and more. In 2021, she received critical acclaim — including Oscar, Golden Globe and Critics' Choice nods for best actress — for her performance as the late Princess Diana in the Pablo Larraín-directed psychological drama "Spencer." Kristen, who famously dated co-star Robert Pattinson for years after they fell for each other while making the "Twilight" movies, made headlines when she began dating her former personal assistant, Alicia Cargile, in 2014 and again when she romanced model Stella Maxwell from 2016 to 2018. She moved on with screenwriter Dylan Meyer in 2019; they got engaged in 2021.

Robert Pattinson earned teen-heartthrob status as brooding bloodsucker Edward Cullen in the "Twilight" movie franchise starting in 2008.

Robert Pattinson has long bemoaned his status as a teen idol. He's favored indie fare post-"Twilight" with movies like "The Rover," "Maps to the Stars" and "Life." He eventually broke that trend, starring in the high-profile drama "The Lost City of Z" in 2016 opposite Charlie Hunnam before making buzzy movies "High Life," "The Lighthouse," "The King" and "Tenet." In 2022, he took on the titular role in "The Batman," which was the seventh highest grossing film of the year. On the romantic front, Rob moved on from on-screen and off-screen love Kristen Stewart in 2013, a year after she cheated on him with director Rupert Sanders. He was engaged to British singer FKA twigs for two years and has been in a serious romance with model-actress Suki Waterhouse since 2018.
