Emily Blunt declares ‘I’m the Tucci today’ while supporting sister and Stanley Tucci’s wife

Fans loved Emily Blunt’s playful family joke as she appeared beside sister Felicity at the ‘Rivals’ launch event

Emily Blunt sparked plenty of online reactions after making a playful joke while supporting her sister Felicity Blunt at the season two premiere of Rivals. The actress appeared at the event alongside Felicity, who is a literary agent and the wife of actor Stanley Tucci, with fans quickly latching onto Emily’s now viral comment: “I’m the Tucci today!”

The moment gained traction online after photos and clips circulated across social media, with Reddit users especially enjoying the family dynamic between the sisters and their connection to Tucci. Emily’s light hearted remark immediately became a talking point among fans, many of whom praised the actress for her humour and relaxed presence at the premiere.

Felicity Blunt has long maintained a lower public profile compared to her actress sister and husband, despite working with major authors as a respected literary agent. However, her marriage to Stanley Tucci has frequently placed her within celebrity circles, particularly during red carpet appearances and film industry events. Emily Blunt herself is also closely connected to Tucci beyond the family link, having starred alongside him in The Devil Wears Prada and later becoming his sister in law after he married Felicity in 2012.

The Blunt and Tucci families have often spoken warmly about their close relationship over the years. Stanley Tucci previously revealed that Emily Blunt and actor John Krasinski played an important role in introducing him to Felicity following the death of his first wife Kate Tucci in 2009. Since then, the families have remained visibly close, regularly appearing together at premieres, awards ceremonies and charity events.

Online reactions to Emily’s “I’m the Tucci today” comment were overwhelmingly positive, with fans describing the line as effortlessly funny and perfectly timed. Several social media users joked that the actress had temporarily “claimed the Tucci title”, while others praised the affectionate family energy on display at the event.

The Rivals premiere itself also attracted attention due to growing anticipation surrounding the series’ second season. Based on Jilly Cooper’s novel, the show became a breakout success after its debut, generating strong online discussion for its dramatic storytelling, ensemble cast and glossy 1980s setting. The premiere event drew several high profile guests from television, film and publishing circles.

Although Emily Blunt was not directly connected to the series creatively, her appearance alongside Felicity helped generate additional online buzz surrounding the launch. Entertainment fans quickly turned the sisters’ red carpet interaction into one of the evening’s most shared celebrity moments.
