At the premiere of his new HBO Max show, "Love and Death," the Dallas native opened up to ET Online about his marriage. The entertainer shared that he doubted the difference saying his vows would make in his life with Dunst. In his words,

"I wasn't sure how different [marriage] was gonna feel because we've been together for a while and two kids later, it's pretty solid, you know?

However, after spending nearly a year as a married couple, the "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" actor noted that the experience contradicted his beliefs. The Critics' Choice Television Award winner said, "But there was something nice about [a wedding] and setting aside time to celebrate it, and it does feel different, in a good way."

Apart from starring as on-screen lovebirds, the couple shared a similar entertainment history as child stars. Thanks to their wealth of knowledge, the pair helped each other improve their careers, a gesture that brought them closer.

"We mostly give each other ideas if we have them. If I had to laugh, he'd do something funny off camera so I'd genuinely laugh," Dunst explained. "If it's my coverage, I'll ask him after a take, 'What else should I try?'"

After dating for six years, a source confirmed that the Hollywood sensations had said their vows over the Fourth of July weekend in 2022. The pair got married at the GoldenEye Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

The "Melancholia" actress added that the partners could work together as they were creatively in sync. According to Dunst, working together for about a year before they started dating contributed to their strong relationship.
