Stanley Tucci has been making headlines for his performance in 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'. Amid that, the limelight has come to his love life and how his co-star, Emily Blunt, played a role in it.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 was finally released on May 1, 2026, and has taken fans by storm. As the OGs, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to their roles, it's sure to be a worthy successor to the 2006 mega-hit. It has been two decades since the first film was released, and it changed the course of several actors' journeys. However, it was Stanley who got his big break from the film.
Nonetheless, the film didn't just work in Stanley Tucci's favour professionally; it also brought a significant change to his personal life. Yes! The actor has been married to Felicity Blunt, the older sister of his The Devil Wears Prada co-star, Emily Blunt, since 2012. Felicity entered Stanley's life after the heartbreak of losing his first wife, Kate Spath, in 2009. So, as the sequel once again brings Stanley into the limelight, let's take a quick look at his romance with Felicity.
After an extremely high-profile affair, reconciliation and a devastating loss, Stanley Tucci married his first wife, Kate Spath. The actor tied the knot with his lady love in 1995. While Kate stayed out of the limelight and worked as a social worker, her love for the actor was evident in their shared bond and Stanley's happiness beyond the camera lens. The couple even welcomed a daughter, Camilla and twins, Nicolo and Isabel, together. Not only that, but they also raised Kate's two children from her previous marriage.
Stanley and Kate's happy home hit their first major bump in 2002, when the actor made headlines for his affair with Sopranos actress, Edie Falco, his costar in the Broadway play, Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune. After the affair ended, he and his wife reconciled, and in 2004. According to The New York Times, Edie was quoted as saying:
"We were together, and then we broke up, because there's no way for that to be a good thing. He's a lovely man, and he's back with his wife and kids, and I'm thrilled."
While they worked on mending their relationship, Kate Spath was soon diagnosed with cancer and passed away from the cruel disease at the age of 47 in 2009. Kate's death broke Stanley, and in an interview with CBS News in 2021, he opened up about grieving the unfortunate loss. He revealed how he has never stopped grieving the loss of his first wife, and still finds it hard to process at times. He was quoted as saying:
"You never stop grieving. You never stop grieving. And it's still, it's still hard after 11 years, it's still hard, and it always will be hard. But you can't let it and she would never want any of us to sort of, to wallow in that grief and let it take over our lives. She would never want that. She wasn't like that."
Stanley Tucci met Felicity Blunt at the 2006 premiere of The Devil Wears Prada. The film didn't just change his career but also introduced him to someone who would become his future wife. He recalled how, at the time, he was attending the premiere with his then-wife, Kate and saw her talk to Felicity. However, he never imagined that years later he would end up marrying the latter. Nonetheless, as they say, the universe had different plans; Stanley stayed friends with Emily Blunt after The Devil Wears Prada, and in 2010, a year after Kate's death, he and Felicity reconnected at Emily's wedding to The Office star, John Krasinski.
Stanley and Felicity soon became an item. While Felicity is the sister of an A-list actress, she's not in the entertainment industry herself; instead, she has a successful career as a literary agent. Their love bloomed, and two years later, they tied the knot. The couple now shares a son, Matteo, and a daughter, Emilia. While they now have a happy family, Stanley was initially hesitant to pursue a relationship with Blunt due to their age difference. For the unversed, Stanley and Felicity have a 21-year age gap.
According to reports, it was Felicity Blunt who helped Stanley Tucci overcome the loss of his first wife, Kate Spath. The actor has opened up about the same on several occasions and commended Felicity for accepting him and his children with his late wife, Kate, with open arms. He was quoted as saying:
"Felicity has been so incredible taking on a widower and three children whose mother died. That’s a huge thing, at a very young age, too. If anybody made things better for all of us, it’s her. She’s the one. Felicity's undying attention, affection and encouragement got me through it."
