Dunst and Plemons started dating in mid-2016 after meeting on the set of Fargo. The pair played a married couple, Peggy and Ed Blumquist, on the FX series' second season, which came to a close in December 2015.

"It was a gift," Plemons told reporters at PaleyFest 2015 of working with Dunst.

"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."

Dunst was spotted wearing a diamond ring Jan. 2 at the Palm International Film Festival, but has yet to confirm the engagement. She was previously engaged to Garrett Hedlund but split from the actor in April 2016.
