Emily Blunt has shared an endearing insight into her family life, revealing that her daughters, Hazel and Violet, have recently embraced the iconic film, The Devil Wears Prada. This charming revelation comes in advance of the eagerly awaited sequel to the beloved movie. Blunt, who stars in the original alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, disclosed that her daughters, aged 12 and 9 respectively, were inspired to watch the film due to their friends’ enthusiasm for it.

In a conversation with E! News, the actress explained that her daughters first experienced the movie about a year ago. “My kids saw it for the first time maybe a year or so ago, and partly because their friends are very into it,” she noted. With the sequel on the horizon, Hazel and Violet decided to revisit the original film recently, eager to prepare for what’s next.
The family has been known for their privacy, especially regarding their children, whom Blunt shares with husband John Krasinski, recently crowned as PEOPLE’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive. Blunt highlighted the shift in her daughters’ perceptions following her recent collaboration with Ryan Gosling in The Fall Guy. Despite having worked with numerous renowned actors, it appears Gosling’s role as Ken in Barbie struck a chord with Hazel and Violet. “They know a lot of people I’ve worked with. But Ryan is — Ryan’s it for them,” she remarked in a January 2024 episode of Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist.
In her efforts to balance her family and career, Blunt has made deliberate choices to prioritise time with her daughters. Prior to a public appearance last September at the 2025 US Open, Blunt conveyed that she was taking a break from work to focus on her children. During a podcast interview, she candidly mentioned, “This year, I’m not working… my oldest baby is nine, so we’re in the last year of single digits.”
Last September, the family made a rare public outing, attending the men’s singles championship match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open. The occasion proved to be delightful for the girls, who were captured enjoying pizza and enthusiastically waving at the camera during the match, demonstrating the couple’s commitment to providing memorable experiences for their daughters.
On that day, Hazel and Violet coordinated their outfits, with Violet sporting a light pink dress paired with a blue cardigan, while Hazel donned a white and pink jersey accompanied by light wash jeans. John Krasinski complemented them with a simple black polo shirt and grey trousers, whilst Blunt opted for a stylish white button-down dress. The outing highlighted a family dynamic that, despite their parents’ celebrity status, appears grounded and relatable.
As Blunt navigates both her demanding acting career and motherhood, she intends to maintain a presence in her daughters’ lives. She articulated to PORTER magazine the significance of being home for bedtime, explaining she cherishes the intimate moments when her children share their thoughts and feelings from the day. “Once my children start to find me repellent, once Mommy doesn’t reign supreme, I will do it, but I feel bedtime is this essential anchor,” she reflected.
The anticipation surrounding The Devil Wears Prada sequel has notably reignited interest in the original film, reintroducing its central themes of ambition and fashion to a new generation. As Blunt’s daughters prepare for the upcoming release, it’s clear that the film has made a lasting impression on them, further bridging the gap between their mother’s career and their understanding of her work.
With both excitement and warmth surrounding her family life and impending film releases, Emily Blunt continues to embody a blend of professionalism and parenting that many admire. While she remains a celebrated figure in Hollywood, her devotion to her daughters arguably takes precedence, offering a glimpse of normalcy amidst the glamour of celebrity culture.
