Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are movie stars and parents to two daughters, and appear to have figured out the age-old question of balancing work and family.
"We bring those kids wherever we’re shooting and wherever we can spend time with them," John has revealed, sharing that together they make sure they are never working on a project at the same time.

"We always have done, luckily, a good job of doing one [movie] and then the next [one]. So one of us is always home with the kids. And listen, we bring those kids wherever we’re shooting and wherever we can spend time with them."
John is American and Emily is from the UK, so they have homes in both New York City and London, which helps make their travel easier even if it does remain a "family circus" wherever they go.

The girls revealed they weren't afraid of the cameras; however, giving the Jumbotron a big wave when it found them in the stands.
The event has become a tradition for family, as they also attended in 2024 and 2023.

The show's official Instagram page shared footage of the couple posing with the show's cast and crew, although the girls did not appear.
"The best way to spend Oscar Sunday is at & Juliet. Just ask John Krasinski & Emily Blunt (!!)," the show's official Instagram page captioned a clip of their appearance, with John commenting on it: "Blown. Away! You all were magic incarnate! Thank you for a phenomenal show!"

"I've always been really honest about it," she said at the 19th Annual Gala for the American Institute for Stuttering in 2025, which she hosted. "I've always made sure that they understand that I grew up with something that I struggled with, and that it's okay. Everybody has something and that was my thing."
She added: "Some of it was really hard, and I think it teaches you a lot about empathy and the importance of kindness, because when you're on the receiving end of something that is humiliating, I think you learn that you wouldn't want to humiliate anybody."
Emily also spoke about teaching her daughters to treat people with kindness, especially when they're dealing with situations such as these that can make them more self-conscious. When people are embarrassed, they are really unhappy, you know, and they don't make good choices, and so I think that's just been a big part of their upbringing is kindness."
