I’ve been on a hot streak for months with accurate predictions for celebrity pregnancies. I saw photos of Emily Blunt a few weeks ago and I thought to myself, “She’s totally pregnant.” And as it turns out… she is! Emily and John Krasinski are expecting their second child, her rep confirmed Tuesday to multiple outlets. Emily spent the last few months filming The Girl on the Train, playing the lead character who is supposed to be sort of booze-bloated and out of shape, so that’s how Emily hid her bump.
While both Us Weekly and People Magazine had confirmations of Emily’s pregnancy, they don’t say how far along she is. I would suspect she’s about three or four months along, or just to the point where she can’t really hide it anymore. John and Emily’s first child, daughter Hazel, is just shy of two years old. Emily is just 32 years old (I always think she’s much older) and John is 36. I’ll admit to being slightly surprised by this, mostly because I think Emily was more of a “one and done” sort of woman. She didn’t really complain about pregnancy or any of that, but I just thought she probably wasn’t up for it a second time around. But people change their minds all the time.
Incidentally, I finally watched Sicario over the weekend. I sort of disagree with the people claiming that it was one of the best films of the year or whatever. Don’t get me wrong, it was a solid film. Emily was good but not particularly award-worthy, and Benicio del Toro was stunning. Josh Brolin was surprisingly great too (I think he’s a douche in real life but man, that guy can act). Mostly the film just reminded me of the first season of True Detective. It was like a two-hour episode of True Detective: Border Edition.

Fine and all, but “Hazel” is not a melodious sounding name.
I sort of hate it (Hazel) but they are so cute together, I’m struggling to see the charm. Not very successfully, I’m afraid.
Yeah, it’s an awful name.
But I still love these two.
I know an older Hazel and she’s taken grief for it – but names go in and out of fashion, and if you love someone with a certain name, you get attached to the name as well. Maybe their Hazel will redeem the name.
I think Hazel is a beautiful name but it does make me think of rabbits.
But then I’m a horticulturalist and I love all those plant names.
I go straight to Watership Down, too!
Rabbits smabbits.
I thought of the Hazel Stone character from assorted Heinlein space operas: a rebel orphan turned to sexy agent-provocateur, turned to cantankerous old woman.
So Hazel gets a + vote from me.
Also Hazel Grace from that awful John Green book,.
I just read Watership Down for book club and that’s where my mind went too!
My grandmas name is Hazel and I kind of love it. Not cutesy, not common enough to have a lot of associations, and I like the natural element because I’m a hippy.
Grandma hates her name though and had told everyone if they name a kid after her she’ll be pissed.
Anywho my vote: yes. grandmas vote: no
My daughters name is Hazel. She was born two weeks before their Hazel. I love her name and people All the time tell me what a great name it is. At least its better than Apple. 🙂
Enjoy it. It’s generational — there was a bad Hurricane Hazel in 1954 (esp for Canada) and an old TV show about a maid called Hazel. And Witch Hazel. But kids today have no idea about these things, and it’s just a nice, distinctive name.
Yes, I unfortunately associate it with the TV show. Aside from that, it’s cute.
Congratulations hope everything goes well in her pregnancy and birth. I love the name Hazel it reminds me of entranced forests and castles. One of my closest primary school friends name was Hazel and she had such luscious beautiful long blond hair.
I associate it with the show, too! I think Julia Roberts daughter is Hazel, also. To me it’s also a hipster name, the “old names are cool now” in the same vein as wearing an ugly sweater ironically.
I just came back to say Hazel is growing on me and I’m sorry I said I hated it.
My daughter’s name is Hazel, too, and full disclosure I’m not a hipster! 😉
I like her, and I’m happy for them.
Can I just ask at what age do you stop saying a baby is 20 something months old?
Usually around 30 (as in 2.5 years). The reason is because there’s actually a big difference between a one year old who’s 12 months and a one year old who is 22 months old as far as development and behavior. It helps to set expectations for the person inquiring about the kid’s age.
But why not say ‘almost two’ or ‘one and a half’? I get the need for specificity when you’re talking to your pediatrician, but I don’t think regular folks give that much crap about whether your baby is 17 or 20 months old, you know? At least I don’t. Maybe I’m alone on this.
No you’re not alone. Instead of saying Blunt’s baby is 23 months why can’t you just say she’s almost two.
22-23 months is when most folks stop counting months and just say “almost 2”. Basically when the number of months turns into a mouthful.
@V4Real: I stopped using months at round 16mos. After 16mos it became ‘almost 1 & a 1/2′. Then it became almost 2, just over 2, almost 2 & a 1/2, etc. I find referring to any over 2yrs by months to sound silly. Your kid isn’t ’30 months’-she’s 2 & a 1/2. Maybe it makes me twitchy because I find it’s often used by people who want their kids to stay “babies” instead of letting them grow up into toddlers and so on.
my son is 125 weeks old. sounds even better, imo. but yeah, the month age is another one of those things I never understood.
good luck to Emily. and I like the name Hazel. it seems to be very hipster and in right now. I usually go with top 20 standard names and I must say that with all the that name is popular and this name is popular I have yet to meet the same named children around my kids age at their school or class.
They seem really cute together. Nice to see them adding to the family.
She might be like me? I hated pregnancy with a vengeance – bloom? What bloom? – and only added Sixlet Minor to my progeny haul because I didn’t want an only child.
My best friend had three awful pregnancies, but she suffered through them because she wanted three children. She said she cried every time she became pregnant, from joy and dread combined.
I dont get people who say the glow or the bloom. Granted I got off lightly with only nausea but I just look like me, except with bigger boobs so far and with drier skin actually but none of my friends had a glow or anything about them and by the end most were just fed up and struggling to get around
I wouldn’t say I had a terrible time or anything – bit of nausea, bit of reflux and that was it. But I did not feel like *me* and I did not like it. Fed up about sums it up!
I hear ya on the not feeling like yourself. Its a very odd thing.
(It also annoys me when people automatically start squeeing into your face)
My friend had one baby pressing on a nerve and her leg was so painful that she couldn’t even put a sheet on top of it. But I can see how you would feel like your body had been taken over and how it would be weird.
Lindy – and feel entitled to TOUCH you. WTH? I’m quite a kissy cuddly person, but I’d never realised my belly would become public property. Most annoying.
GNAT – oh my lord. I feel like a whiner now!
Oh I am DREADING that part. There’s a little old dear in the office here who I saw regularly touching pregnant colleagues stomachs without so much as a “may I?” I am purposely avoiding her finding out until the child is in college.
I can just about tolerate all the opinions from everyone by playing 80s cartoon theme tunes in my head, but the touching, no thanks.
GNAT, oh my lord. It does seem like I’m whinging now 🙁
People you don’t even know TOUCH YOU in the queue at the coffee shop, you know. It’s a nightmare.
Just hold on to the fact that you get a delicious baby at the end of it!
For the most part I found the 2nd trimester to be the sweet spot. The nausea was gone, you’re pregnant enough that people don’t just think you’re getting fat but you’re not huge yet, and that’s when I got “the glow.” My skin looked AMAZING. But, it’s short lived because the 3rd trimester eventually hits and you feel huge, uncomfortabe, and have to pee constantly. Except with my 2nd–I was miserable from day 1 until about 3mos after she was born. Even her delivery was traumatic! I had nausea for 9 months straight, had severe pelvic symphysis so every step was excrutiating, and had body dysmorphia post-pregnancy. I cried & cried when I found out I was pregnant with #3, but that pregnancy was a dream. So, sometimes you never know I guess.
No Scarlet you certainly don’t. I’ve had friends who have had dramatically different pregnancies on each of their kids. No way of knowing and no way of preparing for it.
My skin looked amazing during my second trimester (I received “glow” comments then). Normally, my skin looks fine but not amazing. I wish I could have that again, but without the pregnancy (and the nausea, pelvic pain etc.).
Me, too!!! My skin started looking great right after my evening sickness stopped at around 4 months, and it stayed “glowing” all the way through. But the last trimester was a bear with all three babies. Ugh. Can’t move, can’t sleep, just miserable.
Sixer, I was the same way. Hated pregnancy, love parenthood (mostly). Wanted a playmate for my eldest. Glad I’m fixed and it won’t happen again.
Yes! I love parenthood. Pregnancy was the pain-in-the-arse means to an end!
I had two summer babies so my glow was really just a layer of sweat.
LOL Isa!
I timed mine to be out by June for summer strolls. You have my sympathies, Isa!
My best friend looked like sh!t for 9 months. The last one was particularly bad, she was fed up and wanted the child to be born. Some women love pregnancy, others don’t. I suppose the real magic begins when you see and hold your son/daughter for the first time.
Did people see that John went out and sort-of denied what Jenna Fischer was saying the other day about parts of them being ‘genuinely in love’ when they played Jim & Pam? I saw in the Mail that he said she had been ‘wildly misquoted’ & ‘taken out of context’ – which seems odd, as her full quote as reported here seemed reasonably thought-out & coherent rather than a random clause reported as the full statement.
I took it that he may have meant not the actual quote but the few places that are quoting it as “Jenna said she and Jim loved each other” without any context or indeed the full quote and implying they were actually in a relationship. I understood why he felt the need to clarify it to be honest
I agree. If I had a pregnant, hormonal wife, I’d rush to clarify too!
I understood what she said, but I wouldn’t like it if another woman said that about my husband, to be honest. I don’t think she meant anything disrespectful by her comment, but people aren’t very attuned to subtle meanings these days, and I’m sure many people just heard “they are partly in love.” It’s one of those very misquotable quotes that I think they will both have to deal with for long time.
True – I guess here there is a good standard of reporting full quotes rather than cherry-picking the interesting bits for clickbait, which doesn’t apply to all/most news outlets.
I agree, GoodNames, that I’d feel quite uncomfortable if someone said that about my partner in public, especially if they’d been acting as people in a relationship and marriage for several years.
thats interesting, do you have a link?

I thought he came off kind of bitchy. Like are you that insecure? I doubt Emily Blunt is a jealous person in that way, so why get twisted up about it.
I thought it was kind of bitchy too. He said something like her quote must have been taken out of context and he “feels really bad for her”. Like dude, calm down.
He also made some comment about how upset he is that people would use his Benghazi movie as a political football. Reeeally???
He’s either not very smart or kind of douche.
Really? He couldn’t figure that out in advance about the Benghazi movie? Oy.
I didn’t think it was bitchy at all. He’s standing there and somebody reads him a quote that says part of him was in love with part of her, and he says he feels bad for her because it must be a misquote. I’m sure he was at a loss for words and felt very awkward. If you read what she said, it’s not especially objectionable, but I think it was extremely presumptuous of her to assume and say that he felt the same way. He didn’t have time to process it, and I’m sure he honestly believed she couldn’t have possibly said that. And she shouldn’t have said it, in my opinion.
I agree with GNAT. And I also feel bad for him. He’s expecting a baby with his wife and a former co-star says parts of him were genuinely in love with her! I know that she didn’t mean it that way, but I think maybe if it were a more formal interview she’d have thought better of it.
He started dating Emily in season four or five of The Office, so he was with her when Pam and Jim got engaged and married and had kids, so it’s not like she was referring to John before he met his wife.
I like John and Emily as a couple, so congratulations to them!
Regarding John’s response to Jenna: Keep in mind that she was married to James Gunn during the early Office days (I think they divorced around 07/08) and I am guessing that he does not want the impression (even though I did not think her comments would leave that impression) that maybe he had something to do with it? I don’t know just a thought. And she remarried her second husband about a week or so before he married Emily. So I am guessing he fears some gossip getting stirred up?
About the Benghazi movie: I think he feels like this movie is a recognition of what those 6 guys did there, which I felt it was as well, and that’s gotten lost in the conversation around the movie-which is unfortunate. And maybe a little naive on his part to think that people would not use it as a political football when that’s all Benghazi has been. It’s unfortunate because 13 Hours is a good movie and he’s good in it.
Agree with you about the movie. I saw an interview with the director and he said they don’t even mention Hillary Clinton because they tried so hard to keep the movie strictly about the heroism of the men who tried to save the Embassy and not about politics.
Exactly GNAT, no DC politician is mentioned in the movie. The focus is where it should be…on those 6 guys. So I understand John’s frustration in that regard.
Lol I do wonder if he knew that she said it on live tv rather than in a written interview
I really like her, but don’t like him. I can’t pin point why exactly. He’s also way to gushy when talking about her. Keep it to yourself.
Anyway; congrats on baby no.2. Hazel us a really pretty name, it goes well with Krasinski.
same. i really really like her and especially love her as an actor, but him… not so much.
Julia Roberts named her daughter Hazel, so Emily and John aren’t the first celebs to bring the name back. I’m not a fan of the name.
Congrats to them! I just read one of those stfu parents crazy baby names posts, so Hazel sounds lovely to me right now. I bet they will go with abother sort of old-fashioned name.
What’s wrong with Hazel? Come on.
Since ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ minus Cruise I became a Blunt superfan — no punt intended. She is such a bad ass in that movie. As for ‘Sicario’ — my husband loathed her charachter so much he was yelling at the TV (if he says more than ten words in a week I am shocked) so to evoke that kind of emotion only goes to show you how good she really is. And Benecio….ahhhh top Five dude.
I watched that film the other day. I was surprised by how much I liked it. And I think a lot of that had to do with her.
Right?!??! My favorite line is “Is there something on my face?!”
I didn’t see Edge of tomorrow (skipping Cruise’s movies) but The summer of love made me a fan of her. I was impressed with The young Victoria, and Sunshine Cleaning is one of those really good indies. I love how she mixes parts like these (Your sister’s sister is another one) and and things like Looper.
I can’t believe I forgot about Looper and my a$$ just watched it two nights ago. I will have to check out your other suggestions.
Not a Cruise fan myself, but it was on HBO and I pay for it so I figured I would give it a shot. Blunt really steals the entire movie so it’s worth tolerating Da CrayCruiseCray for it.
I always liked Emily Blunt but some of it is the English period pieces she was in. Think she is beautiful also and I robbed-the-cradle crushed on John. For no good reason though I have difficulty syncing with or feeling they are 100percent an enduring couple.Hope I’m wrong.Also don’t like John as much bulked up but the problem might be that when someone plays a role for years you are stuck with that image. Maybe I’m just jealous.Hs Ha.
Yea for them!!
Emily Blunt is fab — the name Hazel not, and that blue dress is fugly.
