The bond between Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons blossomed from their instant connection on the set of FX's Fargo series almost a decade ago. Dunst, 41, described feeling safe and free with Plemons, 35, upon their first meeting, highlighting his kindness and sensitivity as standout qualities.
The couple initially portrayed a married couple on Fargo in 2015, with their real-life romance developing about a year and a half later. Their onscreen chemistry extended to 2021's The Power of the Dog, earning them both Academy Award nominations.
Upcoming projects for the duo include the movie Civil War, where they will race to the White House in a near-future America. The film's cast features notable names like Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, and Nick Offerman.
Dunst's acting career took off with Interview with the Vampire at age 11, while Plemons began at just 2 years old in a Coke commercial. The couple bonded over their shared experience as former child actors, finding humor in their journey to success.
Plemons expressed his certainty that Dunst would be a lasting presence in his life after their first collaboration. The couple got engaged in 2017 and now share two sons, Ennis, 5½, and James, turning 3 this year. Their wedding in July 2022 marked a new chapter in their enduring love story.
