It was actually at the red-carpet premiere of The Devil Wears Prada in 2006 that Stanley Tucci first crossed paths with Felicity Blunt, who was attending the event to support her movie-star sister Emily. Tucci was still married to his first wife, Kate Tucci, who was undergoing treatment for a cancer diagnosis at the time. 

The actor later recounted how “odd” it was that Kate and Felicity had actually met that very evening. “Felicity—Emily’s sister, my wife—she and Kate talked at the premiere that night and I have a photo of them together, which is so odd,” Tucci told the WTF With Marc Maron podcast in 2021. “And then many years later, I ended up marrying Felicity.”

Tucci and Blunt later crossed paths at Emily Blunt’s wedding to John Krasinski in 2010, held at George Clooney‘s house in Lake Como, Italy. (Stanley’s first wife Kate tragically succumbed to cancer at age 47 a year earlier, in August 2009.) They became engaged in 2011 after a year of dating.

Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt have 21 years between them. Born on Nov. 11, 1960, the actor is currently 64 years old; his wife is 42.

Tucci said that the two-decades gap initially concerned him in the early days of their romance. “I was afraid to get into a relationship and I kept trying to break it off,” he said during an interview on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs in July 2023. “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.”

Who else has Stanley Tucci been married to?

Prior to his current wife Felicity Blunt, Stanley Tucci was married to his first wife, social worker Kathryn “Kate” Spath, from 1995 until her death from breast cancer in 2009. It was Kate’s second marriage—she had previously been married to actor and stage manager Alexander R. Scott, with whom she had two children. She and Tucci also had three children together: 24-year-old twins Isabel and Nicolo, and daughter Camilla, aged 22. 

The Lovely Bones star noted how hard it was to move on after Kate’s death. “You never stop grieving. You never stop grieving,” Tucci told CBS News in 2021. “And it’s still, it’s still hard after 11 years, it’s still hard, and it always will be hard. But you can’t let it … and she would never want any of us to sort of, to wallow in that grief and let it take over our lives. She would never want that. She wasn’t like that.”

Do Felicity Blunt and Stanley Tucci have kids?

Yes, Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt have two children together: son Matteo Oliver Tucci, born on Jan. 25, 2015, and daughter Emilia Giovanna Tucci, born on April 19, 2018. (“Hopefully she will have the looks and brains of her mother and one of my better personalities,” Tucci joked to People at the time of Emilia’s birth.)

Felicity is also stepmother to Tucci’s three children from his previous marriage to Kate Spath. Back in 2017, Stanley told The Guardian about Felicity’s reaction to their blended family. “It is not easy to find somebody who is going to take on three teenagers and a widower,” he said. “That’s a lot. But she was willing to take on that challenge. She cares for the kids as if they are her own.”
