Emily Blunt has spent much of her adult life in the spotlight, but motherhood is one part of her world she has worked hard to keep away from Hollywood’s constant attention. The British actress and her husband, actor and filmmaker John Krasinski, are parents to two daughters, Hazel and Violet.
The couple welcomed their children after marrying in 2010 and have generally chosen to give the girls a private childhood. As of August 2026, Hazel is 12 and Violet is 10.
Hazel Krasinski
Hazel Krasinski is Emily Blunt and John Krasinski’s older daughter. She was born on February 16, 2014, making her 12 years old in 2026.
The family has revealed very little about Hazel’s everyday life, particularly her education and school. Her parents have consistently avoided turning their daughters into public figures, so details about their school, teachers and daily routines are not publicly established.
That privacy appears intentional. Blunt and Krasinski have spoken about wanting their daughters to experience childhood without being defined by their parents’ fame.
Hazel has nevertheless occasionally appeared with her parents at family outings. One of the more notable recent appearances came at the 2025 U.S. Open, when she and Violet joined their parents for the tennis tournament in New York.
Violet Krasinski
Violet Krasinski is the younger daughter of Blunt and Krasinski. She was born in June 2016 and turns 10 in 2026.
Like her older sister, Violet has largely grown up outside the celebrity spotlight. Her parents have not made a habit of posting family details online, and public information about her school life remains limited.
Blunt has occasionally shared amusing stories about her daughters during interviews, giving fans small glimpses into their personalities without exposing too much of their private lives.
The girls have also developed their own opinions about their mother’s famous film career. That has become particularly entertaining for Blunt, who has discovered that being a Hollywood star does not necessarily make her impressive to her children.
Their Parents
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski met in 2008 after being introduced through mutual friends. They became engaged in 2009 and married in Italy in July 2010.
Their relationship later developed into a professional partnership as well. The pair worked together on A Quiet Place, the 2018 thriller directed by Krasinski in which both appeared. Its success led to A Quiet Place Part II.
Despite their demanding careers, the couple have repeatedly emphasized the importance of making family life work around filming commitments.
A Private Childhood
Privacy has been one of the clearest themes in the way Blunt and Krasinski have raised their daughters.
The couple rarely shares photographs of Hazel and Violet, and the girls have made only occasional public appearances. Their appearance at the 2025 U.S. Open attracted attention precisely because seeing the entire family together is unusual.
That approach has allowed the sisters to grow up with considerably less media exposure than many children born to famous parents.
Blunt has also indicated that she wants her daughters to understand that fame is not the most important measure of a person. In interviews, she has discussed parenting as a process of helping children develop empathy and confidence while allowing them to discover who they are for themselves.
Family Comes First
Motherhood has influenced Blunt’s career decisions. In 2023, she announced that she planned to step back from acting for a period because she wanted to spend more time with her children during important years of their childhood.
Her decision did not mean she was leaving acting permanently. Instead, it reflected a desire to create more balance between work and family.
Krasinski has similarly described the family’s approach to his work schedule. In 2026, he explained that he and Blunt try to alternate their filming commitments so that one parent can remain available for their daughters. When possible, the family also travels together during production.
Movies at Home
Blunt’s daughters have also started discovering their mother’s filmography.
In 2026, the actress revealed that Hazel and Violet had watched The Devil Wears Prada for the first time. Their reaction was especially funny because, rather than being dazzled by their mother’s Hollywood status, they considered her character, Emily Charlton, extremely mean.
The experience came at an interesting moment, with Blunt returning to the world of the franchise for its highly anticipated sequel.
The girls’ response demonstrates how differently children can see their parents’ careers. To audiences, Blunt is an award-winning actress with an extensive film résumé. To Hazel and Violet, she is simply their mother.
School Life
There is very little reliable public information about where Hazel and Violet attend school, and their parents appear determined to keep it that way.
That means claims circulating online about their exact schools, schedules or classmates should be treated cautiously unless confirmed by the family or a highly reliable source.
The limited information available suggests that Blunt and Krasinski prioritize giving their daughters an ordinary environment despite their extraordinary careers.
Growing Up Away From Fame
Hazel and Violet are now entering their teenage and pre-teen years, but their parents continue to protect their privacy.
Their childhood has included occasional family trips, sporting events and exposure to the entertainment world, yet neither daughter has been pushed toward a career in acting.
For Blunt, motherhood has become an important part of how she approaches work and time. Her decision to slow down professionally, combined with the couple’s efforts to coordinate their schedules, shows how seriously they take their role as parents.
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski may be among Hollywood’s most recognizable couples, but their daughters have remained largely outside that spotlight. Hazel, 12, and Violet, 10, are growing up with famous parents while being given something their family considers far more valuable: the freedom to have a childhood of their own.
