Stanley Tucci has candidly discussed his marriage to Felicity Blunt, revealing why their 21-year age gap has never caused issues. The 65-year-old actor admitted he never expected to fall in love again after the death of his first wife, Kate Tucci, in 2009, but meeting Felicity changed everything.
Speaking on Jenna Bush Hager's Open Book podcast, the star of The Devil Wears Prada 2 reflected on rebuilding his life after loss. 'I wasn't sure that I would ever remarry,' he said, explaining that his relationship with Felicity, 45, 'just sort of made sense' despite the age difference.
The couple first met in 2006 at the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada, where Stanley starred alongside Felicity's younger sister, actress Emily Blunt. At the time, Stanley was still married to Kate. They reconnected at Emily's 2010 wedding to John Krasinski, and their romance quickly blossomed.
Stanley and Kate had three children together before she died from breast cancer aged 47. He initially struggled with moving on but said Felicity brought renewed happiness and stability. 'She changed my life in the sense that she gave me a sense of security,' he said. 'She gave my children a sense of security.'
The couple married in 2012 and have two children together, son Matteo, 11, and daughter Emilia, eight. Stanley also credited Felicity with helping expand his career into writing and food television. He previously admitted he almost ended the relationship early on due to the age gap, but chose to stay, calling her 'an incredibly special person'.
