One year ago, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski were plagued with breakup rumors, and while they’ve kept things more low-key in 2025, they’ve seemingly shut them all down. But Blunt’s latest comments have officially closed the door on those rumors for good, and she’s showing everyone how truly magical it was to work together.

I don’t know why, but I think I do.’ Then, my God, did he. And can you imagine if he thought I was really [expletive]? That would not be good.”
She added, “I think if we had done that movie and we didn’t respect or admire each other, it would’ve been an absolute disaster.”
