Why You Rarely Hear About Kirsten Dunst

Publish date: 2024-05-09

One of the reasons Kirsten Dunst has been out of the spotlight in recent years is because she's welcomed two sons with her husband, Jesse Plemons. The couple's first son, Ennis Howard Plemons, was born in May 2018, People confirmed. Singing her son's praises, Dunst told Porter in August 2019, "Ennis is so adorable, with two big dimples. He is such a happy baby."

In September 2021, Dunst revealed to The New York Times that she'd given birth to her second child, a son called James Robert Plemons, four months prior. The "Drop Dead Gorgeous" star introduced the interviewer to her new baby, saying, "This is the newest guy, the Big Kahuna ... He's an angel, but he's a hungry angel. And a heavy angel." Dunst also teased that the new baby had been keeping her awake, saying, "I'm so tired, I haven't slept through the night in four months ... I've developed an eye twitch, too."

In May 2017, Dunst revealed that she was entering a new phase in her life, telling Marie Claire U.K. (via Page Six), "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." In the same interview, she described Plemons as her "best friend," making it clear that she had found her person, and she was ready to start a family with him.
