Blunt, 40, who previously revealed she was taking a year off from acting to spend more quality time with her children, put the decision to good use at the US Open with husband John Kasinski and their daughters Hazel, nine, and Violet. , seven.

Blunt, 40, seemed fascinated by all the drama unfolding on the field as she sat next to her two girls.

She looked stylish as she showed off her fantastic figure in a black floral dress with pops of light blue, purple and orange, which hugged her curves.

Sometimes she could be seen shouting at the court, and sometimes she turned her attention to her girls, who were sitting between their parents.

Although not as lively as his wife, Krasinski, 43, was still as involved in the game as he was with their children.

In fact, more than once he let their youngest, Violet, sit on his lap and have a deep conversation.

Dressed in a dark blue polo shirt, the actor and director was also seen cheering on the players on the field, as was his vocal wife.

While their children seemed to be having fun during the game, it was clear whether they were more interested in the drinks and snacks or the game itself.

A few months ago, Blunt talked about how she was inspired to take 2023 off when she realized Hazel would be 10.

“I’m not working this year,” the British actress revealed during an appearance on the channel Table for two podcast in July. ‘I worked a lot last year and my eldest baby is nine, so we’re in the single digits in the last year. And I just feel like there are cornerstones to their day that are so important when they’re little.”

Theron, 48, has a pair of young daughters, Jackson, 11, and August, seven, who she adopted in 2012 and 2015 respectively.

But on this day, it appears she left the kids with babysitters, which gave her some personal time to get out and enjoy all the action on the field and in the stands.

The US Open always draws a star-studded crowd, and day 12 of this year’s tournament was no different.
