“I am sad that I won’t see her get old and that I won’t be able to look after her if she needs looking after,” Tucci shared in the profile published Saturday, September 27.

“I think there’s something really beautiful about people aging together. And unless there’s some miracle, that can’t happen.”

Tucci first met Felicity, now 44, at the 2006 premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada,” where he co-starred with her sister, Emily Blunt. Their paths crossed again four years later at Emily’s 2010 wedding to actor John Krasinski, where their connection deepened, as per People.

Romance soon followed, and the couple tied the knot in 2012. Together, they welcomed their son, Matteo, in 2015 and their daughter, Emilia, in 2018. Tucci also has three children from his first marriage to Kate Tucci, who died of breast cancer in 2009.

In the years after their marriage, Tucci faced another difficult chapter when he was diagnosed with cancer. The actor admitted he was hesitant to begin treatment after losing his first wife and close friends to the disease.

“It was awful to go through it after my wife had died and friends had died,” he shared. But it was Felicity who encouraged him to move forward with chemotherapy and radiation. The treatment required six months of feeding tube use, but today Tucci views it with gratitude.

“I am happier than I was before,” he said. “The only thing I’m not happy about is how hard it was for Felicity, who was giving birth while I was getting treatment. And of course it was hard for the kids.”

A New Perspective on Life & Love

Now in remission, Tucci said the experience has left him with a stronger sense of self. “I’m more clear-headed than I was before. I have a stronger sense of self,” he explained. “In 15 years I’ll be 80 years old and there’s a lot of stuff that I want to do before then.”

Despite the age difference, Tucci remains grateful for the love he shares with Felicity and the life they’ve built together. His vulnerable confession highlights not only his deep love for his wife but also his hope that their time together continues to inspire and bring joy.
