In it for the long haul! Hollywood is full of enviable high-profile romances, but none can compare to the relationship between Emily Blunt and John Krasinski.
Blunt and Krasinski began dating in 2008 after meeting through a mutual pal. During a 2011 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Office alum revealed that it was love at first sight for him.
“It was one of those things where I wasn’t really looking for a relationship and I was thinking I’m going to take my time in L.A.,” he explained at the time. “Then I met her and I was so nervous. I was like, ‘Oh God, I think I’m going to fall in love with her.’ As I shook her hand I went, ‘I like you.’ It’s one of those things where as soon as you meet someone you kind of know.”
The Devil Wears Prada actress, for her part, has gushed about how her now-husband has positively impacted her. “Meeting John really changed my life,” she told InStyle in 2013. “When I feel the support that I have from him, I feel invincible. There’s someone behind you on your good days and someone in front of you on your bad days.”
The longtime couple were engaged by August 2009 and tied the knot in Italy the following summer. They welcomed daughter Hazel in 2014 and daughter Violet in 2016.
Speaking to Marie Claire in February 2020, Blunt opened up about how she’s raising the pair’s children to be empathetic.
“I think I was a really observant kid. I was a really empathetic kid and still feel that’s something I try and lead with,” she previously explained. “And I encourage empathy in my kids and embracing differences and not being scared of them, or teasing people for them, you know? Making mistakes, or feeling like you have something that causes you to make mistakes, is a good thing. It’s how you learn, and it’s how you grow.”
Krasinski, meanwhile, revealed how the couple are able to balance family life while leading busy careers. “I was a huge fan of [Emily’s] before I even met her, so I continue to be a huge fan of hers in everything she does. So we’re just extremely supportive, we get what the job is and that you gotta travel and do some stuff,” he told E! News in 2019. “But it’s always about coming back home and being together, it’s the most important thing.”

The pair met via a mutual friend at a restaurant in 2008. “It’s kind of a sad, lame story,” Blunt recalled on Late Night With Seth Meyers in 2018. “I was in a restaurant, he was in the restaurant. I was sitting with a mutual friend … and my friend Gray goes, 'Oh my god, that's my friend John,' and that was it. He was sitting with our friend Justin Theroux, and he abandoned Justin and came over to us. He just stood there and made me laugh. I kind of [knew right away.]" Stefanie Keenan/WireImage.com
After less than a year of dating, Krasinski proposed to the London native in Los Angeles. Though the Jack Ryan actor described the proposal as “casual,” it led to many tears from both the happy couple and their friends and family. "I was nervous and the whole nine yards,” Krasinski told Access Hollywood at the 2009 Emmy Awards. “She did cry after. I cried and we cried and then everyone around us was crying. Then, I think people weren't really sure what was going on, but they were crying because we were crying. But it was great. At the end of the day she said yes which is great. It's a big part of this whole thing." Jamie McCarthy/WireImage

The actor, who worked out twice a day for five weeks for his role in 13 Hours, candidly opened up about his sex life. “Totally selfishly, [sex] is so much better for me being jacked because you feel so much more confident and you see yourself as this much more sexual person, which is really fun,” he told Elle at the time. “The truth is, [Emily] really is that person who would like my any way. But I don’t think she’s going to kick the eight-pack abs out of bed.” Paramount Pictures

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar U.K., Blunt opened up about how the couple wound up living together. “I’d just bought a place in London and was going to live there with my sister. I didn’t ever see it as a move to the U.S., but gradually more and more of my stuff just accumulated at his house, and then suddenly I was living in L.A.,” she explained. “I think it’s the best way to do it – just to sneak-attack them, rather than turn up with trunks.” Stephen Lovekin/Variety/Shutterstock
The Sicario actress revealed her biggest regret from the couple’s wedding day. “I got a bad spray tan and I would probably change that,” she shared on The Late Late Show With James Corden. “I look at the pictures and it just has an orange hue that is unnatural to normal skin color.” Terence Patrick/CBS
Krasinski joked about how the couple’s marriage was tested while shooting a particular scene for A Quiet Place Part II. “There’s a scene where I put her in a car and — if you saw it in the trailer—she’s driving up the street,” he explained on Live With Kelly & Ryan. “All that is completely, totally real.” The IF director continued, “I realized as I was explaining to her all the things that are going to happen, like, ‘You’re gonna hit this pedestrian and then these cars are gonna cut you off. And then a bus is gonna come at you at 40 mph.’ That’s all happening to her. And I realized, ‘Oh, my God. I just put my marriage on the line. I might end my marriage in this shot.’” Jonny Cournoyer/Paramount/Kobal/Shutterstock
During a joint appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Blunt joked that their celebrity couple name is “Krunt,” which is a combo of both of their surnames. “There was Bluntinski, but it just seemed long and long-winded, so Krunt felt efficient,” she said. Charles Sykes/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

During an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Krasinski revealed that Blunt had to cut him off after he became “addicted” to popcorn during the COVID-19 quarantine.“My kids had microwave movie popcorn for something, and they loved it, and then just slowly the time started getting earlier and earlier. And at, like, 9 a.m. at breakfast, I was like, ‘Does anybody want popcorn?'” he said in May 2021. “And Emily was like, ‘You gotta cool it on the popcorn! You got to stop microwaving popcorn at 9 a.m.'” imageSPACE/Shutterstock
Shortly after celebrating their 11th anniversary, Blunt shared her secret to long-lasting wedded bliss. "Just love," the Jane Austen Book Club actress told E! News on July 16, 2021. "You've got to keep loving and loving, and just listening." Janet Mayer/INSTARImage
During an episode of iHeartMedia’s "River Cafe Table 4" podcast, Blunt revealed that she made Ina Garten’s famous “engagement chicken” recipe for her beau before they got engaged. "I guess I just made something that I knew he would love … a roast chicken, who doesn't love roast chicken?" the Jungle Cruise actress explained. The recipe apparently has a great success rate of bringing couples down the aisle, as Garten noted in November 2017 how its “magical powers” also fared well for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

"I wouldn't be anywhere in my life without her," the Office alum told Parade. "On a daily basis, but certainly career-wise, as a dad, she pushes me to be better every single day at everything I do. I look forward to the next day cause I know it'll be better than the one before." SAG Awards/Shutterstock
