How Stanley Tucci Met His Femme Fatale

When Tucci first encountered Blunt, he was still married to his now-deceased wife, Kate. This was at David Frankel's comedy-drama "The Devil Wears Prada" premiere back in 2006.

The pair reconnected four years later at Blunt's sister's wedding, where they discovered their mutual interest in sampling new food and tweaking recipes.

"We started talking that weekend and we ended up talking about food," Stanley recalled. "We love food, what restaurants."

"I was going to London to shoot a film immediately afterward. So, I said, let's get together, and we did get together, and the first time we went out, we ate at this little restaurant."

He added, "Though it actually wasn't very good food. But we had such a nice time. And then we ended up going to a restaurant called L'Anima which is ultimately where we ended up having our wedding reception."

Their little rendezvous led to more food-related dates that finally blossomed into romance. The two got married in a quiet ceremony in 2012 after being engaged for a year.

Tucci Had Feelings Of Guilt After Proposing To Blunt

For most Hollywood marriages that hit the rocks, the reason is a lack of love in the relationship. For Tucci, his first marriage to Kathryn "Kate" Tucci ended after she lost a cancer battle.

The food maestro divulged that he had feelings of guilt just after proposing to Blunt as he felt it was all too soon.

"I panicked instantly afterward,' he told The Times. "It was very hard to go on vacations at first, really hard to go with Felicity someplace. I felt guilty. It's horrible."

Ultimately, he admitted that letting go of Kate was difficult; nevertheless, he knew she would want him to move on. "You never stop grieving. You never stop grieving," Tucci added.

"But you can't let it—and she would never want any of us to—to wallow in that grief and let it take over our lives. She would never want that. She wasn't like that."
