Who Is Kirsten Dunst's Fiancé And Baby Daddy? New Details About Jesse Plemons
He's an actor, too!
Who is Kirsten Dunst's fiancé and baby daddy? We all know Kirsten Dunst as the beautiful blonde actress who stole our hearts in Jumanji, Bring It On, Little Women, Interview With A Vampire and made us all love the original Spider-Man trilogy. This weekend, the Marie Antoinette actress welcomed her first child with fiancé Jesse Plemons.
"I’m at a stage in my life where I’m like, I’ve been working since I was 3. It’s time to have babies and chill,” Dunst said. "I wasn’t one of those ‘I need a baby!’ people until my goddaughter was born,” she said. “I love her so much. That love is just like … you can’t experience that unless you have a kid. I put her to bed last night and she woke up this morning and said to her mom, ‘Where’s Kiki?’ I just love that. That’s what I want.”

People may remember her baby daddy Jesse Plemons from beloved Friday Night Lights or more recently from Game Night starring Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams. But what else do we know about Jesse Plemons?
More details on the man who stole Spidey's ex's heart:
1. Plemons and Dunst met on the set of Fargo.
The lovebirds met on the set of FX's hit show Fargo based on the popular movie by the Cohen brothers. In the show, they play love interests Peggy and local butcher Ed. Plemons gushed about getting to work with the talented actress. "It was a gift," he said at the time. "I loved Kirsten's work for a long time, and I was really excited once I’d met her, and she’s a great person. We're both actors that just have fun with the material."
2. Plemons got together with Dunst shortly after she broke up with a long-term boyfriend.
Dunst dated Garret Hedlund for four years when their relationship ended in April 2016. A month later Plemons and Dunst were seen kissing. Kirsten "leaned into Jesse and very passionately kissed him on the lips after she caressed his cheek very affectionately," the source told E! News. "They appeared "to be very much a couple."
3. Plemons is actually best friends IR with the actor he played best friends with on Friday Night Lights.
That's right, Matt Saracen and Landry Clarke's friendship isn't just for show — the two are actually extremely tight in real life! Zach Gilford who played Matt Saracen talks about his close friendship with his actor pal Jesse: "He is still one of my best friends, was 17 years old when we started that show and now he’s a man, It’s kind of crazy, but in the same respect if you think about it it seems like it was just yesterday that we were in Texas filming that show..."
"..In real life, he is one of my closest friends, which makes me sound like a loser that I was 23 and my best friend was a 17-year-old, but oh well. But he’s an old soul." Gilford also approves of his fiance. "He and Kirsten have already been over. They travel so much. They’re funny. It’s fun to get to know her because I think I said, 'You’re getting married? You’re having a baby? Who is this chick?' But she’s really cool."
4. He likes creeping people out with his acting.
Plemons is hilariously unforgettable in the new movie Game Night as the divorced creepy neighbor of Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams. He makes everyone feel uncomfortable in the funniest ways possible and Plemons enjoys playing that type of role. "The [alternate take] that I think about the most — where it was just like, “Wow, Gary is crazy” — was when they all come over to my house, and we’re having lamb shanks and playing Jenga, and I start talking about my wife. For about 15 minutes or so, we just started riffing about how much I loved my wife. I can’t remember most of it, but it was a lot of fun."
5. He started acting when he was three.
His first gig was a Coca-Cola commercial. He worked periodically until he was 8 years old and then began to work more regularly as an actor. When he landed roles on hit shows Breaking Bad and Friday Night Lights, his career really began to take off. He moved to Los Angeles and booked Fargo where he met Dunst.
6. His weight is a hot topic.
Plemons gained a significant amount of weight for his role in the movie Black Mass. He says "Everyone’s like, ‘You gained all this weight!’ I was like, ‘No, I’ve been fat for a while now.’ Yeah, talking about it, if anything, makes me a little more empathetic — sympathetic? — to what women have to go through. My God! Men, in general, are just not held under the same microscope in that way..."
"..It’s bizarre that that’s all people wanted to talk about. Why is that some sort of a badge or some sort of accomplishment? Like, anyone can do that. You just have to eat shit.”
7. He says Breaking Bad fans are the most interesting fans.
"I have had a few really odd pictures requests. Like one fan wanted me to sort of make a gun with my hand and pretend to shoot them. Another guy really wanted to fake strangle me in the picture,” Plemons said.
