Actress Kirsten Dunst is expecting her second baby! Kirsten has done a spectacular job of keeping her pregnancy quiet until now, but she just debuted her growing belly on the cover of W Magazine. It's hard to keep a baby bump on the down low when you're as famous as Kirsten, but somehow she pulled it off.
Kirsten and her partner, Jesse Plemons, are already the parents to a 2-year-old son named Ennis. Soon enough, they'll be a family of four.
The photos of a very pregnant Kirsten are absolutely stunning. The gorgeous photo shoot was directed by the talented Sofia Coppola and includes other actresses like Elle Fanning and Rashida Jones.
Photographer Zoë Ghertner captured the images at a home in Beverly Hills. Of the photos, Kirsten joked, "Every shot was on the floor. I was like, 'I can't get up.' I felt like Urkel."
Every expectant mama certainly knows that struggle. But Kirsten definitely doesn't look like she is struggling! The photos are simply gorgeous.
It's a pretty epic way to announce your pregnancy. Most of us just post a picture on Facebook. But Kirsten has had a lengthy professional relationship with director Sofia Coppola.
The two have worked together several times in the past, on The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, and The Beguiled. Kirsten was quite young when she started working with Sofia, and so their relationship has really grown over the years. Kirsten said she's developed a lot of trust in the filmmaker.
"It's just so beautiful to have that kind of friendship where you've seen each other have children," she said. Sofia has two children — Romy, 14, and Cosima, 10. "There are few collaborations, to be honest, where it lasts, where someone knows you that long that's not your family."
Kirsten and her fiancé seem to have a really beautiful relationship. They've had a lot to bond about, including the fact that they were both child actors. "We laugh about the fact that we were two child actors," she told The New York Times back in September. "And we both made it out okay."
The couple got engaged back in 2017 but haven't yet tied the knot. Kirsten does refer to Jesse as her husband, though. They had their first baby in 2018, solidifying their family life.
The two have spoken very sweetly about one another over the years. At Kirsten's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, Jesse said, "Aside from the brilliant actor you are, I've also had the even greater pleasure of getting to know you as a person outside of work." He continued, "Seeing the kind of mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and cohort you are is why I and all of your friends and everyone else are here today and why we all love you. It's for the incredibly generous and amazing person that you are."
In 2018, at the premiere of Game Night, he also expressed appreciation for his love. "I feel very fortunate to have someone that keeps some sense of reality," he said. "And, you know, I'm very lucky. She's amazing."
Likewise, Kirsten has great admiration for Jesse. "He works so hard at what he does,” she said. "He takes everything very seriously and embeds himself very deeply.”
