John Krasinski Remembered the Sparks-Flying Moment He Met Wife Emily Blunt & We’re Gushing

While the choice might not have been universally loved by fans, John Krasinski was announced yesterday as People Magazine‘s “Sexiest Man Alive.” And while the actor and director took in all the love and support during his announcement on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Krasinski couldn’t celebrate his title without celebrating his wife, Emily Blunt.

In a sit-down interview with People, Krasinski looked back at meeting the The Devil Wears Prada star for the very first time. When asked when he knew she was “The One,” Krasinski didn’t hesitate. “The second I met her,” he said. “I don’t know what happened but I remember someone introduced us and it was across a room at a restaurant and I walked over to her to shake her hand and as soon as I shook her hand I went, ‘Oh s—.’ And I just knew.”

Blunt and Krasinski first met in 2008 and tied the knot two years later in 2010. They’ve welcomed two daughters since then, Hazel, born in 2014, and Violet, born in 2016.

“It’s that beautiful thing where when you’re married to somebody, you’re constantly learning and you’re constantly changing and you’re constantly evolving,” Krasinski said about their relationship. “I’m so lucky to go through all that with her.”

Also in the interview, Krasinski talked about was a “perfect date night” is for them. “It’s dinner and catching up,” he said. “Weirdly that’s the thing that you don’t always get a chance to do.”

As for Blunt’s reaction to his new title, Krasinski joked that it might only make matters worse at home. “I think it’s going to make me do more household chores,” he joked to People. “After this comes out, she’ll be like, ‘All right, that means you’re going to really earn it here at home.'”

As it turns out, Blunt has joked about him getting this title in the past, saying that if he did, she’d put up wallpaper with his cover around their house. “Do we have that on camera? Because that’s like a binding contract, I think,” he said. “My children will love that, it won’t be weird at all.”
