Kate died of breast cancer in 2009 at the age of 47. Speaking about his grief last year he told the Guardian: ‘It’s always there. But if it were to stay as prominent in your life as it does at the beginning, you couldn’t function. You couldn’t take care of your kids. You couldn’t hold a job. You couldn’t do anything. So, whether we know it or not, we tell ourselves to let it go. And also the person who died would not want you to be that way.’
What has Stanley Tucci said about his marriage to Felicity?
Speaking on Desert Island Discs, Stanley said, ‘Felicity has been so incredible taking on a widower and three children whose mother died. That’s a huge thing, at a very young age too. If anybody made things better for all of us, it’s her. She’s the one.’
He has also spoken about how they share a similar sense of humour. ‘We’re both sort of the same way, kind of romantic and then at the same time kind of cynical about it. Sometimes it’s like, “Why are you behaving that way? Why are you being so loving? What’s wrong with you?”‘

Of course! While filming part of the Devil Wears Prada sequel in Italy, Emily and Stanley were able to turn it into a joint family holiday as Emily and John’s kids, Hazel, 12, and Violet, nine, are similar ages to Matteo and Emilia.
‘It was great, because we travel a lot together,’ Stanley told E! News. ‘Their kids are the same ages for the most part, and they’re best friends. To have it sort of cross over with work was just, like, weird.’
