Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons are finally married.
Dunst, 40, and her longtime partner, 34, tied the knot last weekend at the luxury GoldenEye resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Page Six reported, citing an unnamed source. The couple has been together for six years in total and shares two children.
The “Spider-Man” actress’ rep confirmed in a statement to the outlet that Dunst and Plemons “got married” but said no other details about the wedding will be disclosed.
The newlyweds first met in 2015 on the set of the FX series “Fargo,” in which they played a married couple. However, they didn’t begin dating until 2016, after the actress’ split from her ex Garrett Hedlund.
Dunst and Plemons got engaged over the Golden Globes weekend in January 2017, according to the outlet.
They welcomed their firstborn son Ennis in the spring of 2018 and their second child James Robert last year.
In an interview with Los Angeles Times in February, the “Bring It On” actress revealed that they had postponed their wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic and her second pregnancy.
“We call each other husband and wife,” Dunst said. “But we have to get married at this point. It’s ridiculous. We just haven’t planned a wedding. There was COVID, then we had another child. I didn’t want to be pregnant, get married, have a party and not be able to have fun with everybody.”
Plemons and Dunst were both child actors and spoke the same language. According to the “Wimbledon” actress, they give each other ideas and “consult with each other a lot,” both professionally and personally.
Dunst also previously told The New York Times that she and Plemons were “two people who worked together very similarly” and that he was “like a soulmate.”
“I knew he would be in my life forever,” she added.
During her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in August 2019, Plemons recalled first meeting his now-wife.
“Immediately, without too many words being exchanged, I looked into her eyes and saw the beautiful, sweet, unguarded, welcoming human being that she is,” Plemons said. “And it truly was in an instant. Immediately my nerves and anxiety dissolved and I knew everything was going to be alright.”
Earlier this year, both Dunst and Plemons scored Oscar nominations for their movie “The Power of the Dog,” in which they once again played newlyweds.
She was nominated for best supporting actress, while he got a nod for best supporting actor. It was Dunst’s first Oscar nod, and their movie received 12 nominations in total.
Their mothers, Inez Rupprecht and Lisa Plemons, joined them at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on March 27.
“It’s just beyond our wildest imagination for this to happen to both of them at the same time,” Lisa, 61, told Page Six at the time. “Our entire family couldn’t be more proud, and I know that Kirsten’s mom feels the same way. She and I are just the best of friends and we feel so proud of both of them!”
