Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are one of Hollywood's most iconic duos, both on-screen and off.
The actors first met at a Los Angeles restaurant in 2008 and wed two years later. They've since welcomed daughters Hazel and Violet.
Krasinski admitted on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2011 that he "wasn't really looking for a relationship" when he first came to L.A., but Blunt quickly changed his mind.
"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,' " he shared, adding that their instant chemistry was undeniable. "It's one of those things where as soon as you meet someone you kind of know."
From their first date to their costarring debut, here's a complete timeline of Emily Blunt and John Krasinski's relationship.
June 2006: John Krasinski watches Emily Blunt's movie
Although the pair hadn't met yet, The Office star became a fan of his future wife when The Devil Wears Prada premiered in June 2006. Krasinski later admitted to Blunt that he watched it on repeat — over 70 times to be exact.
In a 2016 interview with Glamour, the actor recalled how after the couple had been dating for a bit, Blunt asked him if he'd ever seen the movie.
"I said, 'Yes,' and she said, 'How many times?' And I said, 'A lot.' She said, 'What's a lot?' And I said, '75 times,' " he said. "I'm lucky enough that she stayed with me and didn't realize that she had really married her stalker!"

November 2008: Emily Blunt and John Krasinski first meet
During a night out in L.A., the pair first met through a friend. As Blunt would later say on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2018, Krasinski had been sitting with actor Justin Theroux before spotting their mutual friend and making his way over to her table.
"It's kind of a sad, lame story. I was in a restaurant, he was in the restaurant. I was sitting with a mutual friend," Blunt told the host. "And my friend Gray goes 'Oh my god, that's my friend John.' And that was it. He was sitting with our friend Justin Theroux, and he abandoned Justin and came over to us. He just stood there and made me laugh."
