Emily Blunt and John Krasinski's 14-year marriage.

Out of all the A-list celebrity couples, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski seem like some of the happiest.

The actors - who have been married for 14 years and share two daughters - constantly seem delighted to be together, all while balancing their highly successful careers and family life.

But this week, the rumour mill began working on overdrive after a conversation between the married couple was captured on the Golden Globes red carpet, where Krasinski appears to have asked Blunt for a divorce.

Mind you, we can't actually hear them speak, but according to lip readers, Krasinski was caught saying, "I can't wait to divorce" to his wife, as she laughed merrily back, before he added a stern, "I'm serious." 

Three months later, Krasinski shared his first and only photo of her.

Two years later in June 2016, they welcomed their second daughter, Violet.

Although both Krasinski and Blunt are successful actors in their own right, they had never worked together. That was until 2018 when Krasinski directed and the couple both starred in the horror film, A Quiet Place.

Krasinski was in awe of his wife's performance.

"I've always been the biggest fan of her, but not until you're in the room when she does what she does do you know why she's so phenomenal," Krasinski said on The Tonight Show. "She's unbelievable. The most talented, powerful… kindest person. She makes everyone around her better. So honestly, that was my experience."

In January 2019, Blunt won a SAG Award for her performance in the film. In her speech, she thanked her husband.

"I am going to share this completely with my husband, John Krasinski, because the entire experience of doing this with you has completely pierced my heart directly. You are a stunning filmmaker. I am so lucky to be with you and to have done this film with you," she said

"Thank you for giving me the part. You would've been in major trouble if you hadn't, so you didn't really have an option," she added.

During the pandemic, Krasinski started a series called SGN (some good news), which gave people an insight into the couple's seemingly normal family life at home.

In July 2020, Krasinski and Blunt celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary.

"Having John's support is everything because we are each other's confidant," Blunt told People. "That shared understanding has really been a very vital anchor for me."

During an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in December 2022, Blunt revealed that she's kept the outfit she wore on her first date with Krasinski.

"I have a really terrible, old, royal blue velvet jacket, and I don't wear it, but I wore it on John [Krasinski] and I's first date, and I have not thrown it out," she admitted. "It's such an awful jacket. I sit there, and I go, ‘That is a terrible jacket'."

That same month, Krasinski sat down with Parade and gushed about his wife, saying: "I wouldn't be anywhere in my life without her. On a daily basis, but certainly … career-wise, as a dad, she pushes me to be better every single day at everything I do."

In June 2023, Harper's BAZAAR UK interviewed Blunt about things people don't know about her, in which she said that the best gift she has ever received came from her husband.

"I will say, my husband has bought me some amazing and thoughtful, deep gifts," she said. "He got me a vintage cello. I played the cello as a kid. I'm so ashamed to play it now, but I do love it. And I love that he got it for me."

Now, as Emily rides the wave of success after her role as Katherine Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's film Oppenheimer, the couple can be seen attending award shows together, with the most recent being the Golden Globes.

Blunt was nominated on the night for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture, and despite not taking home the prize, she was still spotted having a great night with Krasinski.
