Well, this is a pleasant surprise! Us Weekly is reporting exclusively that Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are expecting their first kid together. For years now, the tabloids have been quietly speculating that John and Emily were, like, the second coming of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt when it came to babies. As in, John always seemed like he couldn’t wait for fatherhood and Emily was “making him wait”. I’ve always wondered if Emily and John might have some fertility issues, although that is none of my business whatsoever, and I’m merely speculating. But now it seems like they’re expecting.
Guess who’s the latest Hollywood starlet with a bun in the oven? Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski are set to welcome a tiny bundle of joy in just a few months’ time, a rep for the actress confirms to Us Weekly.
The couple, who tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in Italy in 2010, have never been shy about their desire for children, and have been making moves to ready themselves for parenthood, a source tells Us.
“They both want kids, it’s one of the reasons they got a bigger place, in a neighborhood that you can raise a family,” the source explained. “They both couldn’t be more excited.”
In an interview with Manhattan magazine last year, the 30-year-old British actress opened up about their hope to start a family.
“We want to have children; I just don’t know when yet,” the Devil Wears Prada star told the magazine. “I’m just not sure about the timing of all of that. We’re both from big families, so I think it’s something we want.”
A few months later, Krasinski, 33, told Matt Lauer on the Today show that he has been getting a taste of fatherhood from his pals who are already dads, like Matt Damon, with whom he was working at the time on the film Promised Land.
“We actually wrote with children climbing all over him, and he was doing bath time and dinner and everything, and we still got it done,” the former Office star said at the time.
“Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski are set to welcome a tiny bundle of joy in just a few months’ time…” Wait, what? Just a few months? So she’s like five or six months pregnant right now? The last paparazzi pics we have of Emily are from… let’s see… June 25. That’s the pic of Emily in her workout gear. She looks just as slender as she ever did then, although I guess she might have been a few months pregnant for that photo. Huh. Anyway, congrats to Emily and John! Such a low-key couple, but they’re super-well-connected. They’re friends with all of the big celebrities. Picking godparents should be fun.

She’s one of my favorite actresses and they seem like a great couple. Congrats.
Congrats to them. Great news. Another (seemingly) lovely couple.
congrats to them, I really like them together.
I loved these two as individuals and I love them even more as a couple, congrats to them.
P.S it feels like every direction I look, there’s someone else expecting a baby or just had a baby 🙂
Yes! I’m 28 and all of my friends are having babies. And they all tell me not to wait that long. And I tell them I enjoy having the latest technology and nice furniture!
I guess Emily didn’t have fertility issues but wanted to pursue her career first. Not everyone wants kids with 20.
Oh I just read other comments which suggest they might used a surrogate! Whatever, I wanted to point out that women are different and some want kids at a young age and others don’t 😉
Parent feeling the need to say what everyone weighs in and says… First off, you’ve got plenty of time, so NO rush!!! However, if you truly want children but want to maintain your lifestyle, it can be accomplished with planning and discipline. Too many people have children then start revolving their lives around their children, when really, if you want to maintain certain other pieces of your lifestyle, you should integrate your child into your life. It keeps you from feeling resentful or like you’re “sacrificing” to have a child.
Not everyone feels like that, and not everyone minds milk on the furniture and crayons on the walls. I do, so we planned accordingly, and we’ve been able to build a great life that includes ToddlerTarheelBuckeye in almost all pieces without making him the center of the universe around whom everything turns. All about what works with your family.
@Val
You have plenty of time. Do not rush into having a baby, whatever you do. It is the biggest commitment of your life! Having a difficult labor/delivery and then raising a high-needs newborn were the hardest things I have ever done in my life — physically and psychologically. You have to really want it, IMO. (That said, your birth and newborn could be a breeze, but it’s just something I think people shld consider before having a child 😊)
Thank you, Stef!
@Val Yeah! I’m only 22 but it feels like everyone’s having kids, I know I’m far from ready, I love kids but I also love giving them back to their parents haha 😉
I was 2 months shy of my 40th b’day when I had my son.. it’s been almost 2 yrs since and I don’t regret it. Don’t rush it, do it when YOU want it and dont give into the pressure from friends and family
Dude, if you ain’t ready then you ain’t ready, straight up. I was 26 when I had my one and also who cares? Your uterus, your vagine, your time, your life, YOUR CHOICE. People with babies always want everyone to have babies when they have babies. Fuckabuncha that.
Congrats to them, I love Emily she’s one of my favorite actresses.
I just can’t get on board with Emily. She always seems so cold? I guess that’s what it is. I’ve seen a couple of things where I’ve liked her acting, but I still can’t genuinely feel anything close to admiration, or fondness towards her.
I’m with you. I sort of liked her at first because she didn’t seem all Hollywood but then she lost a lot of weight and started morphing into every other actress and she seemed to lose what her unique.
I’m also with you…something about her has always rubbed me the wrong way. Him too, actually. Oh well, it’s happy news so congrats to them!
A surrogate?
That’s what I was thinking too, or an adoption. The way it is worded caught my attention. They made a point to not say she was pregnant or how many months along she is.
Actually the US Weekly headline does specifically say pregnant
I was think this or maybe adoption. Congrats to everyone involved.
That was my thought,, too. How could she have a totally flat belly in June and be 5 or 6 months along now? Either the reporting is wrong or it’s a surrogate.
Because it’s her first child and she’s fit? I didn’t show at all for my first until I was 5 months along.
I don’t think it’s a surrogate. If you look closely at photos from comic con in july, you can see a small belly.
http://www.emilyblunt.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=589&pid=16343#top_display_media
I’m no where near as in shape as Emily but I’m due in mid January with my first, which is I suppose a “few months” away, and I didn’t start really showing until I was 17-18 weeks. I’m almost 22 weeks now and all of my clothes still fit except for the fact I can’t get the buttons on my pants done up. I’m carrying quite high and if you look at me dead on, front or back, you can’t tell I’m pregnant. Look at me from the side, and bam! Baby belly.
I think your exactly right @Rachel. We will know soon enough but given her part in Into the Woods I would be shocked if she herself is pregnant. Could be private adoption? Congrats to them regardless of course, however the child is coming.
I heard surrogate too in their statement. And it’s not unusual to wait until much closer to the birth to announce a surrogate’s pregnancy since something may have gone wrong in the past or they simply didn’t want to answer questions for months and months about it.
I vote for surrogate as well. If this pic is her 5/6 mths pregnant, I am in awe!
I think she’s a great actress- I loved her in “Adjustment Bureau”.
Hmmm, dlisted’s pics are from an airport a week ago or so and she is wearing a big grey sweater and loose violet pants… tough to call.
Congrats to them both! No matter how a baby comes, it’s pure joy!!
Possible. Although there are some women who don’t show much at all. My stepsister, especially the first time she was pregnant, was thin and did not show until a few weeks before she was due.
Looks like she’s got a bump in these Pics over at the DM – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2417496/Emily-Blunt-husband-John-Krasinski-excited-revealed-theyre-expecting-child-together.html
Bad no idea she was pregnant. Congrats to them.
I just can’t get on the John K. bus. I find him to be snooty…or something.
Rainn Wilson (dwight) did an AMA on Reddit and implied heavily that John wasnt well liked on-set. When users asked follow up questions to confirm or refute the impression that he had created, he ignored them. So that was taken as implicit confirmation. Rainn himself did have close friendships with Carrell, Jenna, Angela and Mindy, so people doubt he was the diva in the equation.
Really? I never had that impression from the cast at all. I’ll have to check that out. Rainn has a pretty sharp sense of humor, maybe he was joking?
I got the same impression from an interview with BJ Novak. They went to highschool together so I expected him to speak of Krasinski with warmth. Instead his face went hard when he was asked about Krasinski and then he said something like he was a jock, I was a geek.
This. Most of the cast seemed to be such good friends – but I never got that feeling with JK.
I’ll have to look that up too. However it did make me think about Mindy Kaling’s book, where she talked glowingly about BJ, Steve Carell, and Rainn Wilson but did not mention Krasinski at all. At the time I read it I just figured it wasn’t anything noteworthy, but maybe there’s something to this.
Although I think that Krasinski plays poker with some of the crew at Brian Baumgardner (Kevin)’s house.
There have been rumors for a long time that John K holds himself kind of separate from the rest of the cast. It was the old ‘he thought he was going to be a big movie star’ story.
John Kransinski is a classic social climber. I kind of got that feel just from his wedding. Just the whole having it at Clooneys house (a former co-star) and not inviting current co-stars just felt like a Film over TV thing. Only BJ was invited I believe. And it wasnt a small wedding either.
So I read the AMA and didn’t get that impression at all, unless I missed a few comments.
It’s possible Krasinski just isn’t as close with them, not everyone who works together are going to be BFFs forever, but it’s also possible he had an attitude and thought himself more successful outside the show. I’ve never heard much about him being jerky, but you never know. I havve heard him speak really nicely about the show, how grateful he was, how he didn’t want to leave it for film roles, etc.
Carell, on the other hand, I’ve only heard wonderful things about him.
Which AMA did you find? Because Rainn has done afew. The one I saw had multiple sub-threads of redditors humorously guessing what the dispute was about.
Reddit by its nature isnt great at archiving but I’ll try find it for you.
@Pink
Not even Steve Carell was invited?? Who doesnt want Steve at their wedding?! I dont expect all cast members to attend but that is strange.
Yeah, I thought the chemistry in the bloopers scenes was weird in his takes but just thought maybe he just hates goofing around. But I also youtubed his Moviephone interview with Clooney and he was very goofy in that, so………………..
I wonder how he feels about his co-stars out doing him careerwise. Steve is a regular leading man. Rainn is getting his own show. Ed was in the highest grossing adult comedy of all time. Mindy created, runs and stars in her own show. Craig is getting his own show. The lady who plays Erin is scoring good parts in big films. Meanwhile, it looks like Damon regrets the film they did together.
I would agree that he held himself separate from the cast. It was very easy to see that the rest of the cast were very close and many were best friends. When they had parades in the summer in the city of Scranton most of the castmembers would come except for Jim. Even Steve showed up if he wasn’t filming a movie. Everyone thought he’d blow up and be a big star but it has not worked out that way at all for him.
I always thought she came across and snooty and he was pretty cool. but if this is true, it makes all the more sense why they are together.
Totally! I had a friend who interned at Conan and told me a story. Interns were ABSOLUTELY NOT supposed to talk to guests; when John was an intern, he went up to talk to Christopher Walken.
I guess that doesn’t seem AWFUL, but it does speak to a sense of entitlement and arrogance. I think he’s a giant ass-kisser and social climber.
…well this is a little disappointing.
Wait a minute, something is strange here. She’s filming a huge Disney movie (Into the Woods) for the next few months. Maybe it’s super early and that’s why no official announcement? Congrats if it’s true.
Woah! Congrats!!!
Oh, I live them – congrats!
I hope this is true. I love them as a couple! Congrats!
Oh congrats to them! How did they manage to keep this so under wraps when it seems we do the whole 9 months with other celebs?
I feel like both of them should have bigger careers already. I just can not warm up to her – she seems not that nice
Baby Krasinski!
This makes me happy. I just love them both. Congrats to them.
Congrats to them!! Lots of good news today!
Aw, congrats!
Why were people all over them to have a baby right away? She’s only 30, and they’ve only been married a few years.
I thought the same! I thought she was more like 33/34 and that’s why people were wondering when they would have a baby.
I really really like her, so congratulations! 🙂
As for if she could look like that and still be pregnant, I say that definitely she could. People carry in very different ways and I have seen enough times people that only look like they ate a big burger at 6 months of gestation(sporty people the most, and specially those who practice horseback riding seem to have this effect due to some very developed pelvic muscles). Or maybe it’s adoption or something else..anyway, they are having a baby and that is nice!
Maybe she’s another one to use a surrogate
I just want to chime in- I am currently 5 months pregnant, and in June didnt look pregnant at all. Also, I didn’t start out super fit, and it is my second. I really “popped,” for lack of a better word, in mid- July. Given that it is her first, and that she started out super fit and likely exercises a lot, she could totally be 5 or 6 months and have looked skinny in June, when she was still in her first trimester.
That being said, if they are adopting or using a surrogate, congrats are still in order.
I agree. I’m also 5 months pregnant with my second, and depending on what I wear, I still don’t look obviously pregnant. If I wear maternity clothes or something tight, it’s a bit more obvious, but even then until about 2 weeks ago I mostly just looked bloated. If I wear non-maternity clothes that are even a little flowy or loose, I look like Emily in the grey sweater pictures.
Here are pictures of them at the airport at the end of August and I suspected she was pregnant then:
http://www.justjared.com/2013/08/30/emily-blunt-john-krasinski-hold-hands-for-lax-landing/
So excited for them! Congratulations to Emily and John!
She doesn’t look like she’s about to push out a baby in “a few months”.
Hmm…
I’ve always thought “few” was defined as around 4. Given that a pregnancy is really 40 weeks (not 9 months), and the last pics are from 2 1/2 months ago, sure she could totally be pregnant.
I love her. I loved her in The Devil Wears Prada and never stopped loving her. That is all. :O)
I watched Devil Wears Prada for the millionth time last week. Love her in this movie. And Streep.
Awesome, congrats! (Yay for celebrities not being famewhores!)
He finally wore her down, eh. She has the lovliest eyes and smile.
They’re my favorite celeb couple! They’ll be cute parents
I’ve never understood Krasinki’s appeal and Emily leaves me meh. But happy for them and their growing family.
Completely agree with you. Both are very ‘meh’ to me. But yeah, congrats to them and all that.
That will be one good looking kid with these two as parents! Congrats to the happy couple!
Don’t understand the appeal and she doesn’t really have the acting cred to merit the popularity/attention. She comes across as being perpetually miserable if you go by the pictures we see. Her facial expression always looks like she’s been sucking on a lemon!
I absolutely love this couple and I really hope her career flourishes. She’s a good actress and has so much potential and on screen presence.
Are you joking or trolling? What a crock of sh1t!
No, I’m not joking. I really like her and I know many people who like her as well. It’s my opinion and I’m entitled to it and I thought she was lovely in The Adjustment Bureau and Young Victoria.
It’s not as if their careers are on fire anyway, so, it’s just as well that they get started on their brood.
Umm… glad for them. I like them a lot as a couple, but… I wonder if they are going the gestational carrier route? The article does NOT say that Emily will be having a baby, just that they are expecting a child in a few months.
I don’t get why everyone jumps on the “they must be using a surrogate” bandwagon when a slim celebrity announces a pregnancy. Not everyone carries like Jessica Simpson and pops out looking 9 months pregnant at conception.
When I was pregnant with my first, at six months no one could tell at all. I just looked like I was bloated from a really good Italian meal. Three months later when she was born, everyone that didn’t already know I was expecting was surprised, because I hadn’t looked pregnant at all until the last several weeks. Then eight weeks later when I went back to work, I was wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes again.
My (long-winded) point is, Emily is in shape, exercises and eats healthy. So it is entirely within the realm of probability that she was pregnant in June. If you look at that last picture, you can see a small bump. So I’d say she’s expecting in December or January, which fits the timeline and is in a few months. 🙂
I really love them. So, so much. Please let them be decent people in reality. They seem great. Mazel tov to them both!
I was reading an article about JK on another site (I cannot remember which one) about a year or so ago. All of the commenters were discussing an apparently well-known fact that Krasinski and Blunt are big time swingers of the he-likes-to-watch-her-do-strange variety. I had never heard that rumor before or since. I still don’t know if the commenters were just riffing or if this is a “real” rumor about the couple. Has anyone else heard this?!
I think this might have originated from Crazy Days and Nights- he seems to have a strong dislike for Emily Blunt and has done several blinds about her sex life.
There was one that I remember (back when I still read his site) where he wrote a blind that she was cheating on John, and then later posted a picture of Emily standing in a driveway hugging a man as “proof”- people did some internet investigating and found out that the driveway belonged to Amy Adams, Emily was visiting her after the birth of her daughter, and the man she was hugging was Amy’s fiance who walked her out to her car. So…
The guy who writes that blog regularly makes up blind items. Not saying that it isn’t true because all sorts of “normal” couples have wild sex lives, and certainly Hollywood types do, but it doesn’t really seems to fit, right?
I’m sure you are right. I know it was a site that I don’t normally read, I think I was following a link and stumbled up on it. It was such a strange rumor and everyone on the site was so blase about it being true that every time I read about either one I think “IS THAT TRUE? ARE YOU GUYS JUST CRAZY SWINGERS?!” I’m dying to know! 🙂
I think everything about CDAN is made up. I really don’t think Enty is a man or a lawyer. S/he just takes rumors and twists them into blinds imo. I’ve never seen any of them be scopes and turn out for real (unlike Lainey whose blinds are pretty legit imo).
@ Magpie- Lainey’s blinds have actually turned out to be real scoops, I totally agree. Off the top of my head, she broke the Amy Poehler/Will Arnett divorce and the Seal/Heidi Klum/Heidi with the bodyguard deal as well…I haven’t always figured out her blinds, but enough of them have been proven true that I believe them.
She is nothing special – looks like a “sourpuss” most of the time – and as a non-tv watcher, I don’t know her spouse from Adam. I guess with Duchess Kate lying low, it’s a slow news day at Celebitchy?
I hope these two make it for the long haul ….I don’t know why …I don’t know them personally lol …they’re just so cute together …
she and rachel mcadams are my girl crush!! love this couple
