In November 2024, John Krasinski was crowned Sexiest Man Alive and no one was happier than his wife, Emily Blunt.
“There was a lot of joy involved in me telling her,” John told People.
The couple have been together for almost two decades and their love story is seriously charming…
How did John Krasinski meet Emily Blunt?
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski first crossed paths in 2008 while dining at the same restaurant. Emily later called their introduction a “sad, lame story” during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2018.
“I was in a restaurant, [John] 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. [John] was sitting with our friend, Justin Theroux and he abandoned Justin and came over to us. He just stood there and made me laugh.”
Not long after this initial meeting, Emily and John went on their first date, though it wasn’t a typical dinner-and-a-movie.
Instead, John took Emily to a shooting range. This unusual choice was something The Office actor explained when he spoke with Conan O’Brien in 2012.
“On our first date, I decided, ‘I’m gonna really hit the gas and bring her to a gun range. I think that I was so sure that I would never end up with her… that I was like, ‘You know what, I’m gonna blow it right away and then that way you don’t feel bad,’” John said.
How long have Emily Blunt and John Krasinski been married?
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have been married for 14 years.
The two got engaged in August 2009, about a year after they first met.
Emily and John then tied the knot on July 10, 2010, in a romantic private ceremony at George Clooney’s estate on Lake Como in Italy.
Since then, they’ve welcomed two daughters: Hazel, born in February 2014, and Violet, born in June 2016.
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski’s sweetest moments:
During his Sexiest Man Alive interview, John was asked when he knew Emily was ‘the one’.
“The second I met her? I don’t know what happened, but I remember someone introduced us, and it was across a room in a restaurant, and I walked over to her. And as soon as I shook her hand, I just knew,” John sweetly replied.
The couple couldn’t keep their eyes off one another during the 2024 Oscars.
Ahead of the 2019 SAG Awards, John posted this snap on Instagram along with the adorably supportive caption, “Honoured to be on the arm of this double nominee tonight!”
The couple shared a laugh at the 2012 SAG Awards.
This was one of the first public appearances Emily and John made after getting engaged; you can see that engagement glow on them both!
