It’s just their third time attending the Oscars together; they were both nominated in 2022 for The Power of the Dog (both their first Oscar nods). “It’s just so crazy to be a couple and have our first nominations together. It’s like a storybook,” Dunst said at the time. “You know what I mean? It’s so weird. It’s amazing.”

“We fell in love creatively first,” Dunst told the LA Times in 2021 about their relationship. “He was like a creative soul mate to me and the way we both work. On Fargo, I knew after two weeks. I didn’t remember saying this, but one of my best friends told me that I said to her that ‘I will know this man for the rest of my life. I just know it.’ Just because I felt such an immediate connection.”
In Town & Country’s September 2025 cover story, Dunst spoke about Plemons, and in particular, their similar approach to fashion.
“We unconsciously do this a lot,” she said, referring to matching couple outfits. “One of us changes, though! I’m not going to roll out… I don’t want to match my husband!” (Watch above.)
