Stanley Tucci is a celebrated actor known for his impressive array of work across film and television. His talent has earned him multiple awards, including six Emmys and two Golden Globes. Interestingly, Stanley Tucci shares a unique connection with the talented British actress Emily Blunt.
Both actors starred in the popular 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, which turned out to be a major milestone in their careers. While they aren’t related by blood, their bond runs deep.
How Stanley Tucci is Related to British Actress Emily Blunt
Emily Blunt, known for her stellar performances across a variety of genres, has built quite a reputation as one of Hollywood’s most versatile actresses. While many recognize her for her stellar performances and her famous actor husband, John Krasinski, not everyone knows that she shares a family connection with another talented star, Stanley Tucci. Tucci is married to Blunt’s older sister, Felicity Blunt, making him her brother-in-law.
Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt have been partners for over ten years, but their journey started long before that. They first met back in 2006 at the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada, where Tucci appeared alongside Emily Blunt. At that time, Tucci was married to his first wife, Kate, who was courageously fighting breast cancer. Sadly, Kate passed away in 2009 after 14 years of marriage.
In 2010, Tucci reconnected with Felicity at Emily Blunt and John Krasinski’s wedding in Italy. The two hit it off and soon began dating. Although Tucci initially hesitated to pursue the relationship, fearing it was too soon after his loss, love prevailed. They secretly tied the knot in 2012, followed by a larger ceremony later that year. Interestingly, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci’s family bond almost didn’t happen, as Tucci initially considered ending his relationship with Felicity Blunt.
Stanley Tucci Wanted to End His Relationship With Felicity Blunt
Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt had a rocky start to their relationship. Tucci, who had lost his first wife, Kate, to breast cancer in 2009, considered ending things with Felicity. Remembering that period, Tucci admitted that he struggled with fears and uncertainties early in his relationship with Felicity.
Tucci said in a BBC Radio’s interview (via People),
I was afraid to get into a relationship and I kept trying to break it off. I’m 21 years older than she is and I didn’t want to feel old for the rest of my life! But I knew that this was an incredibly special person.
After losing Kate, Tucci found it difficult to open up to the idea of a new relationship. He hesitated to move forward, largely because of the age difference between him and Felicity as Tucci is 21 years older than her. Despite these concerns, he eventually realized that Felicity was someone truly special, and he couldn’t let his fears hold him back.
Their love story hit a beautiful milestone, not just with one, but two wedding celebrations. The couple first tied the knot in a private ceremony during the summer of 2012. A few months later, they hosted a larger celebration in London on September 29, 2012, attended by family and friends. Emily Blunt played a special role as a bridesmaid, while actor Steve Buscemi stood by Tucci’s side as his best man. Many celebrities like Meryl Streep, Patricia Clarkson, Julianne Moore, Colin Firth, and Kenneth Cole were at the wedding.
