Emily Blunt said John Krasinski had one condition before he said yes to their second date – and it involved an outfit change
- Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have been married for over a decade and have two children.
- Blunt recently said her husband had one condition for her after their first date.
Emily Blunt said John Krasinski gave her one condition before they went on a second date – and it involved her having a wardrobe change.
During her guest appearance on "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert, the "Quiet Place 2" actress was asked to name one thing she currently owns that she should really throw out.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Blunt, 39, said the item she should throw out, but hasn't yet, is "a really terrible old royal blue velvet jacket."
"I don't wear it but I wore it on John and I's first date," she said. Colbert then said that she shouldn't throw it out, implying it has sentimental value.
"I know," Blunt said. "But it's such an awful jacket. It sits there and I go 'That's a terrible jacket.'"
She added that she was "blind" to how terrible the jacket was when she first bought it but that she became aware after her first date with Krasinski, 43.
Before he agreed to go on a second date, Blunt said Krasinski "sent me a memo and said 'Don't wear the jacket and you'll get another date.'"
Blunt and Krasinski dated for two years before tying the knot in 2010. The couple have two daughters, Hazel and Violet, and have worked on several big projects together including "A Quiet Place."
Despite Blunt's fashion faux pas, Krasinski was already head over heels. During an appearance on "The Ellen Show" in 2011, he said he immediately knew she was the one.
"It was one of those things where I wasn't really looking for a relationship and I was thinking I'm going to take my time in LA," he said on the show, "Then I met her and I was so nervous. I was like, 'Oh god, I think I'm going to fall in love with her.'"
