Stanley Tucci has spoken about the ‘odd’ moment his late wife, Kate, met his current wife, Felicity Blunt, at a film premiere in 2006.
The actor, 60, was married to Kate for 14 years before she died of breast cancer in 2009. He recalled on the WTF With Marc Maron podcast that they had learned of her diagnosis just before he began filming The Devil Wears Prada, in which he co-starred with Emily Blunt.
‘We found out just before I did that movie that she had breast cancer,’ he said. ‘So I did the movie, and she started treatments, and then we had the premiere, and then she was alive for four more years after that.’
‘And, actually, 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 married Kate in 1995 and they had three children. He later married Felicity in 2012, and they have two children together. He said that grieving for Kate remains difficult, but he does not ‘wallow’ in it, as she would not have wanted that.
