Kirsten Dunst, Garrett Hedlund Relationship "Just Works," Actor Says

This is why it works! Garrett Hedlund recently told Us Weekly that respect is the key to his relationship with his girlfriend of two years, Kirsten Dunst.

Speaking with Us at the L.A. premiere of Lullaby on Tuesday, May 6, the actor said he was bummed to miss Monday night's star-studded Met Gala in NYC, which his girlfriend attended solo. There, Dunst danced the night away with Shailene Woodley and Rodarte designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy.

The actor will, however, have his lady right beside him while filming Pan in England all summer. A source inside the Met Ball told Us, "Kirsten said she's been in London a lot with Garrett while he's filming." Added the insider, "She said she's been playing housewife. She's been cooking and hanging out with him."

(Dunst, as recalled, incited controversy last month after she made controversial gender role comments. "I'm sorry. You need a man to be a man, and a woman to be a woman," she told Harper's Bazaar UK in its May 2014 issue. "That's how relationships work.")
