Friday Night Lights focused on the ups and downs of high school football players in the fictional town of Dillion, Texas, from their classes to their dating lives. In real life, Zach Gilford, Minka Kelly and more cast members have managed to find love after appearing on the show, which originally aired from 2006 to 2011.
Jesse Plemons, who portrayed Landry Clarke, sparked romance rumors with Kristen Dunst after they started working together on Fargo in 2015.
“It was a gift,” Plemons gushed about working with the Melancholia star during an appearance at PaleyFest in 2015. “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, and we’re both actors that just … have fun with the material.”
One year later, the duo — who played married high school sweethearts on the FX series — took their relationship to the next level off screen. Although Plemons and Dunst prefer to keep their romance private, the Breaking Bad alum opened up about the early stages of their relationship in September 2020.
“I knew that she would be in my life for a long time,” Plemons told The New York Times as the Interview With a Vampire star discussed her admiration for her fiancé’s work ethic.
