Stanley Tucci and his wife Felicity Blunt shared a kiss as they posed for photos at the Rivals series two premiere in London on Wednesday. The actor, 65, showed his support to his wife Felicity, 45, who is the literary agent for author Jilly Cooper and serves as an executive producer on the show.
Felicity, who is Emily Blunt's older sister, cut a glamorous figure in a floor-length red dress, while Stanley looked dapper in a three-piece grey suit and red tie. The couple happily posed for photographs as they joined the star-studded cast to celebrate the upcoming release of the new series.
Rivals Series Two Premiere
Based on Dame Jilly's 1988 novel, the comedy-drama debuted on Disney+ in October 2024 and immediately became a huge hit. The eight-episode first series ended in December 2024 and was soon renewed for a second outing. The all-star cast of David Tennant, Emily, and Danny Dyer, to name just a few, is back for more raucous exploits in Rutshire, with the main cast members all attending the premiere ahead of the show's release this Friday.
Stanley Tucci on His Relationship with Felicity
Last week, Stanley spoke about his relationship with Felicity and said it 'just sort of made sense' despite the 21-year difference in their ages. They have been married since 2012. 'I wasn't sure that I would ever remarry,' Stanley told Jenna Bush Hager on Thursday's episode of her Open Book podcast while promoting his new book What I Ate in One Year, per People.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 star married his first wife Kate in 1995 and they had three children: twins Isabel and Nicolo, 26, and daughter Camilla, 24. Their marriage was considered a solid and loving one. But then Kate was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in 2006 and three years later she succumbed to the disease at age 47, leaving the actor a widower with three youngsters under the age of 10.
'I never thought I would have children again. And when I met [Felicity], it just sort of made sense even though there is this age gap of 21 years,' said Stanley, who recently revealed he has a photo of Kate meeting his future wife Felicity at The Devil Wears Prada premiere in 2006.
Stanley and the London literary agent initially met in 2006 at the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada, and reconnected at Emily's wedding to John Krasinski in 2010. 'Obviously, I knew her family, or I knew her sister was one of my best friends. And we just hit it off,' Stanley added. 'We had a lot in common, even though we had nothing in common. And it just sort of stuck. But I think she changed my life in the sense that she gave me a sense of security. She gave my children a sense of security, and she's fun - she's fun to hang out with.'
Stanley, who overcame his own battle with tongue cancer in 2017 and is now cancer-free, went on to have two more children with Felicity: son Matteo, 11, and daughter Emilia, eight.
