And, you know, you never know if it\u2019s something you\u2019re going to have to kind of work for. And then sometimes you get lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe pair began dating shortly after the show ended and married in July 2022. <\/p>\n<p>\nBoth received Critics Choice and Emmy nominations for their performances in Fargo, created by Noah Hawley and based on the 1996 Coen brothers\u2019 film of the same name. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe season also starred Jean Smart, Patrick Wilson, Ted Danson, Bokeem Woodbine and Cristin Milioti.<\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking about his first impressions of Kirsten, Jesse said: \u201cWe\u2019d both been acting since we were kids, but she had a lot of success early on. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAnd I was just amazed at how human and unguarded she was and giving. So it was just really easy and we had so much fun with those two parts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added they \u201cgot together like a year and a half after that, and got a couple kids now\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>\nJesse and Kirsten have two sons \u2013 Ennis, seven, and James, four.<\/p>\n<p>\nAndy asked Jesse about his family life, as well as his Bugonia co-star Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe actor said his sons were showing early creative streaks. <\/p>\n<p>\nHe added: \u201cJames is pretty active, while his older brother is a little more sensitive, creative, just constantly drawing, painting, doing Lego sets. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cShout out to Ennis \u2013 he (builds Legos designed for) only 18 years and older.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jesse-plemons-got-lucky-met-wife-kirsten-dunst-1431761.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>22 October 2025 Jesse Plemons \u201cgot lucky\u201d when he met his wife and former co-star Kirsten Dunst.
