The couple married in 2010, but their love story began in 2008 when they first met. Krasinski and Blunt became immediately enthralled with one another, and their initial encounter was love at first sight. According to Krasinski, he was not looking for a relationship at the time but quickly changed his mind once he met Blunt, and similarly, Blunt was enjoying her single life until she met Krasinski.

The couple's first date took place at a target range. While opening up about their relationship in a 2013 interview, Blunt spoke about how her life changed when she met Krasinski. "The Devil Wears Prada" star gushed:
"...When I feel the support that I have from him, I feel invincible. There's someone behind you on your good days and someone in front of you on your bad days."

Two years after the lovebirds tied the knot, they announced that they were expecting their firstborn daughter, and in 2014, Krasinski shared a photo of Hazel and introduced her to the public.
After becoming first-time parents, an interviewer asked Blunt and Krasinski whether they had plans to have another kid, to which both answered "one day."
Sometime after expressing their plans to have a second child and joking about facilitating a healthy dose of sibling rivalry between Hazel and her soon-to-be sister, Krasinski and Blunt welcomed Violet. Hazel was 23 months old at the time.

When it comes to her priorities as a mother of two, Blunt is determined to secure a sense of normalcy and privacy for her children. In 2021, the "Jungle Cruise" talent divulged details about her career and personal life. When asked about her children and whether or not she and Krasinski would ever be interested in allowing them to act, the protective mom vehemently said no.

The interviewer conducting the profile on Blunt then compared her heightened emphasis on protecting the privacy and normalcy of her kids to Hollywood actress Kate Winslet. Winslet, who is also a mom, said she tried to keep her level of fame unbeknownst to her children.
Fans were pleased to see the beautiful family she and Krasinski cultivated as devoted and doting parents.

Similarly, Blunt described a scenario where her daughter Hazel came home from school one day and asked her if she was famous. Blunt, who attempted to dispel the narrative by saying she wasn't famous, mentioned that she and Krasinski make it a point not to use the word famous in their home. She then went on to say:
"...I understand what Kate Winslet's saying...I don't want my kids to feel any more important or special or that there's a glare on them any more than other kids..."

The 40-year-old also expressed how her daughters aren't even all that interested in what she does for work. She said that instead of fussing about who she is as an iconic actress, they simply want her to be their mother.

The Hollywood icon talked about how many people have asked how she manages to split her time between her family and her very busy schedule. Of her plans for her family life, Blunt disclosed:
"...This year I'm not working...I worked quite a bit last year...and I just feel there's cornerstones to their day that are so important when they're little...I just need to be there for all of them, for a good stretch."
