Let me tell you a story about two people who really get it right when it comes to love and partnership. John Krasinski, the guy who made us all laugh as Jim Halpert on The Office, found his match in the incredibly talented Emily Blunt. Their relationship has been a beautiful journey filled with love, laughter, and family. But here’s the question on everyone’s mind: are they still together after more than a decade? Let’s dive in and find out.

When Love Blooms: How John Krasinski Met Emily Blunt

Love stories often start in the most unexpected places, and for John and Emily, it was no different. Back in 2008, they met through a mutual friend at a restaurant in Los Angeles. Now, this might sound like a simple meet-cute, but it’s the kind of story that feels so real and relatable. Emily shared the story herself during a 2019 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. She said, “It’s kind of a sad, lame story. I was in a restaurant, he was in the restaurant. I was sitting with a mutual friend.”

As fate would have it, their mutual friend, Gray, noticed them both and said, “Oh my god, that’s my friend John.” Without missing a beat, John abandoned his dinner with Justin Theroux and came over to their table. He stood there, made Emily laugh, and the rest, as they say, is history. Their first date happened shortly after, and the connection was undeniable.

Love and Commitment: Their Journey to the Altar

By August 2009, John and Emily were ready to take the next big step. They got engaged in a casual yet heartfelt way. John told Access Hollywood, “It was very casual and I was nervous.” But nerves are part of the package when you’re asking someone to spend the rest of their life with you, right?

The wedding itself was nothing short of magical. It took place at George Clooney’s stunning Lake Como, Italy, home. John shared the story of how George offered up his estate for the ceremony. “George said, ‘I have this place and you should feel free to use it.’ Only on the fourth ask did I say yes. Because the first three times I thought, There’s no way he is serious. But I started to see his feelings get hurt. I actually hurt George Clooney’s feelings,” John revealed to Elle in August 2016. That’s friendship right there—George Clooney letting you use his place, and even getting a little offended when you don’t jump at the chance!

Building a Family: John and Emily’s Beautiful Brood

Love isn’t just about two people; it’s about creating something beautiful together. For John and Emily, that meant starting a family. They welcomed their first child, daughter Hazel, in February 2014, followed by their second child, Violet, in June 2016. Parenthood, as we all know, comes with its own set of challenges, and John has been open about the lessons he’s learned along the way.

“I’m a big fan of being open about the truth and how you really feel, and not putting on a pretty face for everybody,” John told Today in December 2016. He went on to say, “No one really tells you that it’s hard and there are sleepless nights. Kids get sick, kids fall down and get hurt, and all these things are really intense and really emotionally difficult and you hurt for them more than you hurt for yourself.” It’s this kind of honesty that makes John’s parenting journey so relatable.

Working Together: A Partnership That Thrives on Screen

John and Emily’s love story isn’t just about family; it’s also about their professional partnership. In 2018, they collaborated on their first film together, A Quiet Place. It was a project that brought them even closer. John told People in March 2018, “I’ve never have loved my wife more than after we did this movie. For me, it was a trust thing. We trust each other in day-to-day life for sure, but when you trust each other in this way it’s different.”

The success of A Quiet Place led to a sequel, A Quiet Place Part II, which they worked on together the following year. Emily revealed that they were initially hesitant about doing a second movie. “We were both really reluctant and unnerved at the idea of trying to do another one,” she told Variety at the film’s premiere. But, much to fans’ delight, they decided to go for it.

In May 2024, John and Emily walked the red carpet at the premiere of their latest collaboration, IF. This film, written, produced, and directed by John, featured Emily among the star-studded cast. John revealed that the movie was inspired by his daughters’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. “It was actually the pandemic that really got me thinking about the movie because their light started to go out, and they started playing fewer and fewer imaginary games,” he said during a June 2024 appearance on the “Pop Culture Moms” podcast. He added, “They were asking big questions about, ‘Are we going to be OK?’ And I thought that’s the definition of growing up and that choice about whether you stay a kid or grow up doesn’t have to be made here. So I wrote a movie about how that magical world … it will always be there for you.”
