Stanley Tucci defends age difference with wife Felicity Blunt
in his “open book” In a podcast appearance, Stanley Tucci told host Jenna Bush Hager that he had doubts about remarriage. His first wife, Kathryn Spaeth, died of cancer in 2009. However, the ‘Lovely Bones’ actor said Felicity changed that picture. “I wasn’t sure I’d ever get married again,” he said, adding, “I never thought I’d have kids again.” Then, he added that it “kind of made sense” to meet Blunt “despite the 21-year age difference”.
The ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ actor also revealed how the relationship started between acquaintances. Tucci was introduced to Felicity through Emily Blunt at the premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada” in 2006. Later, after Katherine’s death, he saw her again at Emily’s 2010 wedding to “The Office” star, John Krasinski. That event took place at George Clooney’s home on Lake Como in Italy. Nevertheless, Tucci said the relationship worked because he “broke it up.” He added, “We had a lot in common, even though we had nothing in common.”
Meanwhile, Tookie credits Felicity for turning his home life around. He said they gave him a “sense of security” and gave the same feeling to his children. The actor also called her “fun to hang out with” and “incredibly positive.” He praised the way he handled the world around him, saying, “His mind is incredible.” In 2023, Tucci said that he once feared feeling old because of the age difference. However, the division did not last. The couple have a son, Matteo, born in 2015, and a daughter, Emilia, born in 2018. Tucci also has three children from his first marriage, twins Isabel and Nicolo and daughter Camila.
