How is Emily Blunt Related to Stanley Tucci? Relationship Explained
Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci have established themselves as prominent names in the film industry. They also took their respective acting careers to new heights after appearing together in 2006’s critically acclaimed The Devil Wears Prada. However, many fans might be unaware that the two actually share a familial connection.
Here’s how Emily Blunt is related to Stanley Tucci, and whether the two actors share a blood relation.
Yes, Emily Blunt is related to Stanley Tucci. Tucci is Blunt’s brother-in-law, having married her older sister, Felicity.
Felicity Blunt is Tucci’s second wife. The 64-year-old actor was previously married to Kate Tucci for 14 years before her death from breast cancer in 2009.
Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt first crossed paths at the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada. In an appearance on a February 2021 episode of the WTF with Marc Maron podcast, Tucci mentioned that his late wife Kate also met Felicity and the two talked at the premiere.
“I have a photo of them together, which is so odd,” he added. “And then many years later, I ended up marrying Felicity.” (via Closer Weekly)
Blunt and Tucci then reconnected in 2010 at John Krasinski and Emily Blunt’s wedding. They then tied the knot two years later in 2012. In January 2015, Tucci and Felicity Blunt welcomed a son, Matteo, followed by a daughter, Emilia, in June 2018. Blunt is also stepmother to Tucci’s three children from his marriage to Kate — Isabel, Nicolo, and Camilla.
Tucci mentioned during an interview for BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs that he at one point considered breaking things off with Felicity due to their 21-year age difference, but acknowledged that she was “an incredibly special person.”
Tucci’s marriage to Felicity strengthened his existing bond with Emily Blunt. Both Tucci and Blunt’s families spend time with one another whenever possible, especially during the holiday season. Blunt coined the name for their get-togethers “Blunt-Tucci,” which she revealed in a November 2022 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
