Dunst tells The New York Times "I knew he would be in my life forever" after filming Fargo Season 2, but it would take time for them to connect romantically. "It was one of those connections where you just know," she adds. "But we're also very respectful people, and we were mindful of the fact that we were working together intensely. After we were done with the show, we'd FaceTime now and then, and I just missed him. I missed being around him. And he did, too. We didn't get together until the following March, when we'd had the time to realize how much we wanted to be in each others' lives. You're always careful about set romance stuff -- it can be so fleeting. We respected each other so much and had such a bond that it took more time, because there was so much love there."
