Things may be friendly between Jimmy Kimmel and Kirsten Dunst but the same can’t always be said for their sons.

During Thursday’s taping of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the talk show host, 56, revealed that his 6-year-old son, Billy, recently got into a fight with the “Spider-man” actress’s son Ennis, 5, who “are in the same kindergarten class.”

“They had a fight, you know,” Kimmel said with a laugh. “Do you know about this?”

“Oh I heard in our parent-teacher conference, Miss Julie told me about it,” Dunst replied.

The duo then swapped stories to see whether or not their sons left out any key information about the incident.

“I think Billy was sitting in a chair, and then Ennis went to maybe sharpen a pencil, came back, saw there was an empty chair and sat in it,” Dunst explained. “And then Billy came back and was mad that Ennis was in his chair.”

However, Kimmel’s son told him it was the other way around, joking that the boys are “unreliable” sources.

“There was a displacement there and then they both cried,” the comedian said.

Despite the low moment, Dunst noted that there hasn’t been any more “drama” between the two since.

“They’re a very sweet group of boys,” the actress, who rarely shares photos of her little ones, added. “They all get along very well.”

The Oscar-nominated star is also mom to son James, 2, with husband Jesse Plemons.

While the toddler is still too young for school, Dunst joked that she’s “afraid” of the day the little one straps on a backpack.

“He’s almost three and when he’s bad, we call him Jimmy,” she shared. “He’s out of control. We actually call him baby Chris Farley because of the way he walks around and he’s just hilarious. He’s a crazy little dude.”

Kimmel, who also shares 9-year-old daughter Jane with wife Molly McNeary, noted that the youngest child always ends up “crazier” than their older sibling.

In March 2022, “Lost City” co-stars Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum revealed they first met in the principal’s office of their daughters’ preschool after the little ones got into an “altercation.”

“We have two very, very strong-willed little girls that, you know, at that young age were very much butting heads,” Tatum explained on the “Late Late Show with James Corden.”

Bullock joked that she would get calls from their school praying that it was Tatum’s daughter, Everly, who started the fight rather than her daughter, Laila.

After a few incidents between the two girls, Tatum and Bullock were called into the school to figure out how to “work [things] out.”

However, the “Magic Mike” star later revealed that the twosome buried the hatched and became good friends.

“They love each other now, literally can’t get enough of each other,” he told Vanity Fair in January 2023.

“They just want to hang out all the time.”
