While opening up about how she and her husband Jesse Plemons approach parenting, Kirsten Dunst stated she doesn’t allow her sons, Ennis and James, to have electronics.
During a recent interview with Variety, the Civil War star stated when she and Plemons are not working, they are focusing on raising their 5 and 2-year-old sons. The only electronic device the boys use is a record player.
“We’re just not a ‘Siri, play whatever’ household,” Kirsten Dunst explained. “Our kids don’t have iPads either.”
However, Dunst said there is an exception to the no electronics rule. “If they want to use an iPad on the plane, it’s Dad’s iPad,” she noted. “And we’re not phone-at-restaurant kind of people.”
Kirsten Dunst then pointed out she wants to raise her children to talk to others. “I’m not raising a kid that can’t have conversations at the table,” she said. However, she did admit, with an eye-roll, that she did see Paw Patrol with her sons.
Dunst then added that she is raising her boys in a Christian household. “I did have both my children baptized because I love the tradition. I believe in God.”
Kirsten Dunst Previously Said She Will Support Her Sons If They Go Into Acting
In Oct. 2021, Kirsten Dunst spoke about how she will support her sons in whatever they wish to do, including acting.
“Listen, if they want to be actors, I’ll support my children whatever they want to do,” she told PEOPLE at the time.
Dunst then spoke about working with her husband Plemons on numerous projects. The couple met on the set of Fargo in 2015 and began dating a year and a half later. They were married in 2022.
“We become friends and first creative partners,” she explained. “And for me, that was the beginning of us getting together. We want to do this over the course [of] our careers.”
Plemons previously praised Dunst during her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2019. “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,” Plemons said in his speech.
“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.”
Plemons went on to add that his wife was an incredibly generous and amazing person.
