We take measures and start over. 20 years after the release of the film The Devil Wears Prada, adapted from the novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger published in 2003, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are back in the direct sequel to the first film, which will be released on April 29, 2026 in French cinemas.
On the occasion of the New York premiere of the film, which took place on April 20, 2026, Stanley Tucci, reprising his role as Nigel, appeared alongside the rest of the cast, but also with his wife, whom many internet users initially did not recognize.
The beautiful story of Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt
It was with surprise that they then discovered that Stanley Tucci’s wife was none other than Felicity Blunt, the sister of the British-American actress who also plays the role of Emily Charlton in The Devil Wears Prada 2. The couple, who met in 2010 at the wedding of Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, got married in 2012.
Felicity Blunt has been working as a literary agent for over twenty years. She has represented authors such as Jilly Cooper, and also contributes her expertise to the cookbooks published by Stanley Tucci himself. Before dating her, the actor was married to Kathryn Tucci, who passed away from cancer in 2009, and had three children with her. He and Felicity Blunt are also parents to Mateo, born in 2015, and Emilia Giovanna, born in 2018.
Stanley Tucci’s special relationship with the Blunt family
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight on the night of the New York premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, Stanley Tucci revealed the most special aspect of his involvement in this sequel. “I guess it’s being with Emily (Blunt). She was only 22 at the time, and now my children, whom I had with my late wife, are 24 and 26, and she is their aunt, so it’s… Yes,” he said, interrupted, moved.
In an interview with the Times in October 2025, the 65-year-old actor also expressed his feelings about the 21-year age difference with Felicity Blunt. “I am sad not to see her age and not be able to take care of her if she needs it,” he said. “I find something really beautiful in growing old together. And unless a miracle happens, that cannot happen.”
