John Krasinski spent a decade playing the role of Jim Halpert on the popular office comedy, the office. However, Jim is John in real life, and John is married to Emily Blunt. Emily grew up in Wandsworth, London, and quickly took up acting. After meeting the actress by chance at a restaurant in 2008, Krasinski knew she would, one day, become his wife.
Krasinski was enjoying dinner with actor Justin Thoreau. When he spotted Emily from afar, she was with a mutual friend, and Krasinski figured that was his way in with Emily. Emily once told Seth Meyers that Krasinski blatantly ditched a role to put the moves on her.
The creative couple would tie the knot at George Clooney's home in Lake Como, Italy, in 2010. Emily and John welcomed two children. In 2014, they had their first child, a daughter named Hazel. And in 2016, the family welcomed Violet.
Amy Schumer took a jab at the couple's marriage on Instagram while promoting the couple's second horror film, A Quiet Place Part Two. She encouraged people to go back to movie theaters amid the pandemic. The funny woman wrote, "although I've said for a long time, I think Emily and John have a pretend marriage for publicity. I still think you should see it this rainy weekend." Krasinski jumped in the comment section and joked, saying, "thank you, Amy, for blowing up our whole marriage spot."
This couple clearly has a playful demeanor about them. They're both incredibly approachable and forthright, and forthcoming. Find out in this episode of Young & Holmes why we believe their relationship is so successful.
