2008

John and Emily met while he was having dinner in Los Angeles with Jennifer Aniston‘s ex Justin Theroux. “It was one of those things where I wasn’t really looking for a relationship and I was thinking I’m going to take my time in L.A.,” the director once told Ellen DeGeneres of his first encounter with his future wife. “Then I met her and I was so nervous. I was like, ‘Oh god, I think I’m going to fall in love with her.’ As I shook her hand I went, ‘I like you.’”

It wasn’t long after when the duo found themselves on their first date, and Emily admits she made the first move while the actor says it was him. “No. It was me asking for a while and you took some time, and then we finally had a date,” John recalled to The Hollywood Reporter.

 John and Emily did say their first evening together was magical. The pair clicked right away when they had pizza at the Monsters University star’s West Hollywood apartment. Soon after that, they started dating.

“On our first date, I decided, ‘I’m gonna really hit the gas and bring her to a gun range,'” John told host Conan O’Brien in 2012. “I think that I was so sure that I would never end up with her … that I was like, ‘You know what, I’m gonna blow it right away and then that way you don’t feel bad.'” But the actor didn’t blow it. Emily loved everything he did.

Less than one year after meeting, the pair decided to get engaged. “She did cry after I cried, and we cried and then everyone around us was crying,” the 13 Hours star previously told Access Hollywood of the proposal. “Then I think people weren’t really sure what was going on, but they were crying because we were crying. But it was great. At the end of the day, she said yes, which is great. It’s a big part of this whole thing.”

Emily and John’s movie A Quiet Place was a massive success, reeling in over $330 million worldwide, and an Oscar nomination. The Edge of Tomorrow star once revealed people thought their marriage wouldn’t survive if they worked together.

“We had never [worked together] before and it is kind of the great unknown,” she said while in the 2019 SAG Awards press room. “You go into this process not knowing what it’s going to be like. A lot of people were like ‘You’re going to be divorced by the end of it,’ but we were so much closer. I think the discovery of how we collaborated and could create something together was just so special.”
