Emily Blunt and John Krasinski welcome their second child

July 5, 2016

Congratulations to Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, who have announced the arrival of their second child. Proud father John confirmed the happy news on Twitter on Monday, writing: "What better way to celebrate the 4th… than to announce our 4th family member!!! 2 weeks ago we met our beautiful daughter Violet."

The couple, who have been married since 2010, are already parents to two-year-old daughter Hazel. Speaking to E! News in April, Emily said her little girl was adjusting to the idea of becoming a big sister.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have welcomed a second daughter

"She's sort of coming round to it," the 33-year-old actress said. "She sort of dismissed the idea initially, and she just responded with, 'Nope'. 'Nope,' flat out. We've bought her every single 'I'm a big sister' book that's out there and she's a bookworm, so she's coming around."

Emily, who confirmed her second pregnancy in January, recently spoke about the differences between her two pregnancies in an interview with C Magazine.

"The first pregnancy is the most self-indulgent thing in the world because you get massages and prenatal yoga and hypnotherapy CDs," she said. "During this one I forget that I'm even pregnant. I'm hoisting my two-year-old around!"

The actress kept up a busy schedule throughout her pregnancy

The star maintained a busy schedule throughout her second pregnancy, filming her new movie, The Girl on the Train, and embarking on a promotional tour for The Huntsman: Winter's War.

Similarly, during her first pregnancy, Emily was hard at work shooting Into The Woods – a role that made it easy to hide her growing baby bump.

"In a way, the part was the only one in Hollywood I could still have done, because it didn't matter if I was a bit big — The Baker's Wife eats a lot of buns!" she joked. "But by the end of the shoot, I was about seven months and hiding behind every tree in the woods."
