Tucci's First Wife Met Future Spouse at Premiere
28 Apr
Summary
- Stanley Tucci's late wife met his future spouse in 2006.
- The meeting occurred at The Devil Wears Prada premiere.
- Tucci battled oral cancer, mirroring his late wife's illness.
Stanley Tucci revealed a striking coincidence: a photograph exists of his late wife, Kate, meeting his future spouse, Felicity Blunt, at the 2006 premiere of The Devil Wears Prada. Tucci's first wife battled cancer during the filming of the original movie.
Following Kate's death from cancer in 2009, Tucci reconnected with Felicity, sister of actress Emily Blunt, at Emily's wedding. They married and now have two young children, Mateo and Emilia, in addition to Tucci's elder twins and daughter from his first marriage.
Tucci himself faced oral cancer in 2017, a diagnosis and subsequent treatment he described as 'horrible' and 'psychologically traumatizing.' The experience brought back painful memories of his first wife's illness and death.
Felicity Tucci also shared that her husband's cancer treatment was 'pretty horrific,' impacting his ability to speak and requiring a feeding tube. She noted how the inability to eat or taste during his recovery highlighted the social and personal significance of food and drink.
