At Saturday’s SAG Awards, Emily Blunt not only had a reunion with her Devil Wears Prada castmates, but she was also a double nominee for Oppenheimer. She looked stunning on the red carpet in her gorgeous Louis Vuitton gown, but her favorite plus one was not there by her side.
In January, Blunt and husband John Krasinski caught some serious internet heat at the Golden Globes when their conversation was interpreted by lip-reading TikTokers. The dynamic duo was seen coming together for a snapshot as The Office star whispered something in his wife’s ear. “I can’t wait to divorce, I’m serious,” some fans claimed he told Blunt. Other accounts had what was likely a more realistic interpretation of his words from “I can’t wait to get through this” to “I can’t wait to get indoors.” For a refresher, it was one of Los Angeles’ most blustery days and the wind made the red carpet quite a miserable experience.
Let’s get real though, an awards show while you are being filmed in front of millions of TV viewers would be a weird place to drop the divorce bomb. And thank goodness that pals close to the couple told Us Weekly, “There are no issues with Emily and John. They are absolutely not talking about divorce.” And the good news is that the couple reportedly had a sense of humor about it, with the source claiming that they found the rumors “funny and ridiculous.”
Lip reading has become such a social media phenomenon that even The New York Times covered the hot topic in June 2023. At the time the media outlet questioned, “One wonders if people in the public eye will start covering their mouths when they are in the vicinity of a camera, like pitchers and catchers during mound visits.” Well, it’s happening now. Look no further than Taylor Swift covering her mouth when she whispered in Travis Kelce’s ear at the Super Bowl — they are very aware that it’s happening.
So, perhaps Blunt and Krasinski decided that they had enough of the Golden Globes furor, and he just stayed at home this time around. It is somewhat an invasion of privacy and celebs seem to be catching on that every moment on the red carpet is open to interpretation. Even though Blunt and Krasinski are solid as a rock in their marriage, they might have decided that a Golden Globes repeat just wasn’t worth it.
