Tucci met his future wife at Emily Blunt’s wedding
Stanley Tucci got married for the first time in 1995 – after four years of engagement he married Kate Spath. The couple had three children, first they had twins Nicolo and Isabela, and two years later Camilla was born. In 2009 – 11 days after their 14th wedding anniversary – Kate died of advanced breast cancer.
A year later, Stanley Tucci went to Italy for the wedding of his colleague from the set of the film, which premiered in 2006. On July 10, 2010, she married John Krasinski, and a relationship developed during their wedding that eventually led to Tucci becoming Blunt’s brother-in-law. Because the sister of the actress, Felicity, was also at the wedding. It turned out that not only did they talk very well.
Stanley Tucci was surprised by the force of his feelings. In the radio podcast “Desert Island Discs” he told in early July 2023 that at first he was downright terrified:
I was afraid of getting into a relationship and tried to break up with her because I am 21 years older than her. I didn’t want to feel old for the rest of my life. But I knew he was an incredibly special person.
Stanley and Felicity first met at the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada. Kate was still alive then, and she liked Sister Emily very much. “She and Kate talked a lot that night,” recalls Tucci. “Felicity was so amazing taking in a widower with three kids whose mum passed away. It’s a huge thing and she did it at such a young age. If anyone has made life better for us it’s her. She’s the one.” he stressed.
Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt, who bears a striking resemblance to her famous sister, got married in 2012. They had two children together: Matteo Olivier was born first, and then Emilia Giovanna joined him. However, the actor adds that he will always feel the pain of Kate’s death. “You never stop mourning, you never stop mourning the loss. 11 years later, it’s still very hard and always will be,” he said in a 2022 interview with CBS This Morning. “But you can’t let grief and mourning take control of our lives. Kate wouldn’t want that, she’s never been like that,” he stressed.
