Devil Wears Prada 2 stars Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci fans stunned after discovering they’re related
Guys, it's finally happening - The Devil Wears Prada 2 is here.
And fans are just now having the mind-blowing realization that two of the main characters are related.
The original 2006 film, starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, and based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel, became an instant cult classic.
The movie follows an aspiring journalist, Any Sachs, as she lands an unexpected, demanding role as an intern for fashion magazine editor Miranda.

In the second instalment, two decades later, and featuring the original cast, the description outlines that Miranda is nearing retirement and reunites with Andy once again to face off against her former assistant turned rival: Emily Charlton.
As mentioned though, amid the film's release on Friday (1 May), fans have been relaising that two key cast members, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, are actually related.
To explain, Tucci, 65, has been married to his Devil Wears Prada co-star's sister, Felicity Blunt, 45, for 14 years, making them brother and sister-in-law.
The couple first met at the 2006 premiere of The Devil Wears Prada, Harper's Bazaar reports. But, at the time, he was married at the time to Kate Spath-Tucci, who tragically died of breast cancer in 2009.
Felicity and Tucci reconnected years later and tied the knot in 2012.
So, off-screen, Emily and Tucci find themselves at many family gatherings together and have even done red carpet appearances as a four with her own husband, John Krasinski, and Felicity. Who knew?
Reacting to the little-known fact on X, one social media user wrote: "I didn’t know about this but I love all of these 4 people!"
A second penned: "Mind officially blown. Emily Blunt’s sister married Stanley Tucci?! This family could carry an entire MCU movie by themselves. Hollywood nepotism never looked this good."
A third wrote: "had no clue before today that Emily Blunt and Tucci were family wow."
And a fourth and fifth chimed in with: "THEY’RE IN LAWS???!!" and "Had to read that twice ngl .. happy for them."
It comes as both of the actors were honored with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week, just ahead of the movie's release, and both showed up with their partners.
Tucci said, "It has been an honor and absolutely exhausting to be a part of Hollywood for 45 years. But I wouldn't have traded it for the world."
While Emily added: "It's very difficult to sum up just how meaningful this is to me, and the juggernauts that showed up to speak about me has just blown my hair back."
During the ceremony, Meryl Streep also highlighted Tucci's global reputation as she gushed: "You can't even call Stanley a national treasure anymore because I've just been around the world and truly the affection hurled at him globally ... he's just marinating in it."
