What Emily Blunt & John Krasinski Have Shared About Their Family Life

by

During a family visit to the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, along with their daughters Hazel (11) and Violet (9), made a rare public appearance together. Despite being careful about maintaining their children’s privacy, the couple has discussed managing encounters with fans. As Krasinski said in an interview with People magazine in 2024, “If I don’t have my kids, I’m happy to take a picture or whatever.” However, when they are with the children, they usually politely decline fan requests, explaining that they’re simply enjoying family time. So, although Hazel and Violet may not attend red carpet events, they understand what their parents do for a living, as Blunt has hinted that her daughters would be interested in seeing her in The Devil Wears Prada 2.

The actress shared on Entertainment Tonight in June, “I believe they’d be thrilled to visit a set, mainly for the style.” She added, “They’re just like Mary Poppins from The Devil Wears Prada. They’re really into it.

In an interview with TopMob News back in 2022, the star of “The Smashing Machine” mentioned that like any other parents, they strive to find a balance between their careers and family life. However, he admits it’s never perfect and often feels like a whirlwind, but they embrace it as their reality. They thrive on the adventure, and this chaotic yet familiar existence is all their kids have ever known, and they seem to love it. For more insights into their family dynamics, continue reading.

In a casual and engaging tone,

In the eyes of the world, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are renowned movie stars, but to their daughters Hazel and Violet, they’re simply Mom and Dad. As Emily Blunt shared with The Sunday Times in 2021, one day Hazel came home and asked, “Are you famous?” – a word the family never uses at home. Realizing that someone at school must have mentioned it, Blunt responded, “Well…I don’t think so, Haze. Did someone say that to you?”

Blunt and Krasinski choose not to emphasize their celebrity status because they want their children to feel no more important or special than other kids. In fact, Blunt expressed her hope that her daughters remain oblivious to their fame for as long as possible.

As a devoted follower, I’ve experienced witnessing my own performances on screen, much like Emily Blunt did with her daughters. She shared with TopMob News in 2022 that they’ve enjoyed watching movies like Mary Poppins and Jungle Cruise, but they aren’t keen on seeing their parents on the big screen. They seem to cherish their personal bond with us as parents more than our public personas. This humbles us greatly.

Interestingly, Blunt’s cool factor soars when she uses her Mary Poppins voice, yet her daughters found her Emily character from The Devil Wears Prada less appealing. According to Page Six, they even thought she was the rudest person they’ve ever encountered!

Meanwhile, Hazel, being just a child, misunderstood John Krasinski for an accountant after a fan mentioned The Office during school dropoff. As he shared on The Late Show in 2022, she asked if he worked with him, to which he responded negatively. However, Hazel was convinced that he was lying and insisted that Krasinski claimed to know him from the office!

In 2023, the star of Oppenheimer told Harper’s Bazaar U.K., “I cringe when people say their daughter wants to be an actress.” She explained that the acting industry is difficult and can lead to disappointment. Many people advise not to take things personally, but it often feels personal, especially when one’s appearance is judged. However, she and Krasinski hope that their daughters will follow their own interests. In an interview with Porter magazine in 2022, she said, “I want my daughters to develop a strong desire for something they love and be proud of who they are.” She added that she didn’t have a burning ambition to become an actress as a child, but discovered her passion for it later. She believes it’s wonderful when one discovers their passion in this way.

In the film “IF”, Violet and Hazel, although not officially joining the industry, contributed significantly as their father’s 2024 movie centers around imaginary friends, which were inspired by their own. At the film’s premiere, John Krasinski told TopMob News that he observed his kids losing interest in their imaginary games due to COVID-19, and they began to ask deeper questions about reality.

Krasinski felt this was a sign of them growing up and letting go of childhood, but he encouraged Emily, his wife, not to make that decision because the magical world they had created would always be there for them. Krasinski revealed to Today that some film characters were based on their daughters’ imaginary friends, and the girls were involved in various aspects of the movie-making process as well, even providing feedback on the trailer. He expressed that it was a wonderful experience overall.

The roles that John Krasinski and Emily Blunt have undertaken have been numerous, yet the one that has significantly impacted their lives is becoming parents. In an interview with People, Krasinski admitted, “I’ve faced some major challenges,” but parenthood has presented a mirror, making him strive to improve himself daily. For both of them, the everyday aspects of parenting are particularly cherished. As Blunt stated in a 2018 Harper’s Bazaar U.K. interview, they relish their hands-on approach and find parenthood incredibly life-changing – a constant source of distraction that leaves them in a perpetual state of being preoccupied.

At one stage, Blunt decided to pause her acting career to devote more time at home with her kids, acknowledging that certain moments of their childhood are essential and she wanted to be present for those. She felt an “emotional toll” when away filming for extended periods due to her guilt-prone nature as a mother, emphasizing the importance of women pursuing their dreams and ambitions. Navigating work schedules is something Blunt and Krasinski handle collaboratively, stressing that they are all part of the family and share the challenges equally.

Even though no parent is flawless, Blunt and Krasinski strive to impart certain values in their children, such as empathy, acceptance of differences, and the idea that mistakes are opportunities for learning and growth.
