Emily Blunt is having the year most actresses dream of. He’s back in the ‘Devil Wears Prada’ universe, as ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ has already shattered expectations at the box office, and today, June 12, 2026, Steven Spielberg’s UFO thriller ‘Disclosure Day’ stars as a Kansas City meteorologist who develops extraordinary powers and takes cover in a dangerous government. Between red carpets, premieres, and supporting premieres, Blunt has been everywhere. But a few years before that, on a more subdued press tour, he said something about his marriage that has aged very well.Quote of the day: “Marriage is something you have to work on every day. I don’t know if I’m the one to give marriage advice as I’ve only been married for a little over a year, but marriage is definitely easier if you’re open, trusting and loving.”
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski: a Hollywood love story
Blunt and Krasinski first met in Los Angeles in 2008, introduced by a mutual friend, while Krasinski was having dinner with Justin Theroux. As Blunt later recalled on ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers,’ “He didn’t eat. He just stood there and laughed at me.” Their first real date was on a shooting range, which Krasinski later joked to Conan O’Brien that he chose it because he was so sure things weren’t going to work out that he thought he “might as well throw it away.”“Less than a year later, in August 2009, Krasinski proposed in Los Angeles. She later explained to Access Hollywood that it was “very coincidental,” admitting that she was nervous, and that the two ended up in tears, along with everyone around them. Blunt has joked that the proposal may have had the support of Ina Garten’s so-called “engagement hen,” who asked Krasinski long before he popped the question.
A successful year for Emily Blunt
Blunt, now 43, has built her career on a combination of vulnerability and precise comedic timing, qualities displayed two decades ago by Emily Charlton in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, the role that catapulted her to international fame. The sequel, released on May 1, 2026, reunited Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci, and grossed over $600 million worldwide against a $100 million budget, with Blunt reportedly earning $12.5 million for reprising her role, now head of Dior USA. Accompanied by Krasinski, she attended the New York premiere of ‘Disclosure Day’, trying to describe her once-married partner, a little hesitantly, to reporters more than a decade ago.
