Overview
- Tucci, in remarks aired Thursday on Jenna Bush Hager’s Open Book podcast, said his marriage to Felicity Blunt “just sort of made sense” despite their 21-year difference.
- He praised Blunt as a steady presence for him and his three older children, calling the stability she brought to the home life-changing.
- He also said he is “terrified” of death and aging after losing his first wife, Kate, to cancer in 2009, noting that the grief still shapes his outlook.
- He has acknowledged trying to end the relationship early on because the age gap made him fear he would feel old, but he chose to stay and later married her.
- The couple met in 2006, reconnected at Emily Blunt and John Krasinski’s 2010 wedding, married in 2012, and have two children together, while Tucci has three from his first marriage.
