In the same interview with People Magazine, Krasinski also spoke about his wife Emily Blunt and shared, “It’s really that we just got lucky. It’s one of those things, I’m having more fun now than the day I met her, and it’s pretty wild. I don’t know the formula to it, but I think she’s hilarious, extremely talented, and I’m definitely her No 1 fan.”

In an interview with Glamour in 2016, Krasinski admitted that he had watched Emily Blunt on The Devil Wears Prada on repeat over 70 times. After the couple had been dating for a bit, Emily asked him if he had watched the movie. He said in the interview, "I said, 'Yes,' and she said, 'How many times?' And I said, 'A lot.' She said, 'What's a lot?' And I said, '75 times,'" he said. He then quipped, "I'm lucky enough that she stayed with me and didn't realize that she had really married her stalker!"
