Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are one of Hollywood's most beloved couples - and they're also the parents to their beloved daughters Hazel, 10, and Violet, eight.

Appearing on the Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon asked how the family do Mother's Day, as it's set to take place on May 12. The A Quiet Place director made it clear that his daughters have got the celebration covered.

"It's the kids now - they run the show", John explained. "We got a 10 and almost eight, so it's a lot of like, 'Dad we got this. We rolled passed the pharmacy, we got her a mug and some BIC pens. We've got it covered.'"

The actor and director revealed that his wife absolutely loves that kind of present though. "You're like, 'Wow! She's going to love that', and sure enough, she does."

The couple have been married since 2010, after meeting in 2008. But since that day, the couple have been smitten for each other. 

Emily said: "Meeting John really changed my life. When I feel the support that I have from him, I feel invincible. There's someone behind you on your good days and someone in front of you on your bad days."

Meanwhile John is the self-proclaimed "number one fan" of his wife, who told Parade "I wouldn't be anywhere in my life without her."

"On a daily basis, but certainly … career-wise, as a dad, she pushes me to be better every single day at everything I do."

The couple welcomed their daughter Hazel in 2014, and two years later John revealed that he had something of an "existential crisis" after his first child's birth.

"I went through some really serious stuff," he said. "There is a mirror that is held up to me now. You have someone watching you. You have to lead by example." He then continued that parenthood allowed him to focus on "becoming a better person every single day.

Following the arrival of Violet in 2016, The Office alum told PEOPLE that his eldest was an "amazing big sister", who was a "big talker" and that they liked to go on bike rides together.
