Stanley Tucci is famous, and he has a lot of celebrity friends, but it turns out his family connections are pretty interesting too. Recently, Tucci and John Krasinski were spotted at Regal Union Square in New York. They grabbed popcorn and drinks before watching One Battle After Another with Leonardo DiCaprio. People at the cinema were excited to see them and shared photos on Instagram.
What surprised many online is that Tucci and Krasinski are actually family. They are brothers-in-law. Some fans on Reddit were confused at first, wondering how that worked. It’s because Stanley Tucci is married to Felicity Blunt, and John Krasinski is married to her sister, Emily Blunt.
Emily Blunt and Tucci first met while filming The Devil Wears Prada in 2006. They became friends on set. Later, Krasinski met Tucci in 2008 at a restaurant through a mutual friend. Krasinski and Emily Blunt started dating, and he admitted on Ellen DeGeneres’ show that he was nervous when they first met. He said he knew right away he was falling for her. The couple married in 2010, and Tucci attended the wedding. That’s when he reconnected with Felicity, Emily’s sister.
Tucci had met Felicity before at the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada. At the time, he was married to his first wife, Kate, who sadly passed away in 2009. After meeting Felicity at the wedding, Tucci and Felicity started dating. They married in 2012 and now have two children, a son and a daughter. Tucci also has three children from his first marriage.
There is a 21-year age gap between Tucci and Felicity, which made him nervous in the beginning. He told BBC Radio 4 that he worried about feeling old, but he knew Felicity was someone incredibly special. The Blunt family clearly adores Tucci. Emily Blunt once said he’s a “Renaissance man” who wins people over and knows how to have a great time.
