Stanley Tucci can't believe how quickly time has passed.

On Monday, April 20, the Conclave actor came together with his The Devil Wears Prada castmates Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt for the highly-anticipated premiere of the beloved film's sequel.

And, exactly 20 years since the original, it served as a full circle moment in more ways than one.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, Stanley, asked what made him the most nostalgic about revisiting his Nigel character and The Devil Wears Prada universe, revealed it was being back on set with Emily.

He explained that she was only 22 years old when they filmed the original, and now his eldest children with his late wife Kate Tucci are around the same age, 24 and 26.

Stanley then appeared emotional as he noted that Emily, now 43, is his kids' aunt.

The doting dad was previously married to Kate (née Spath) from 1995 until her passing aged 47 in 2009 from breast cancer. They welcomed three children together, twins Isabel and Nicolo, 26, and Camilla, 24, plus he also raised Kate's two children from a previous marriage to Alexander R. Scott.

A year after Kate's passing, Stanley met Emily's sister Felicity Blunt at her 2010 wedding to John Krasinski, and the two subsequently started dating.

They tied the knot in 2012, and have welcomed two children together, son Matteo, born in January 2015, and daughter Emilia, born in April 2018.

Though Stanley is famously private when it comes to his children, he has opened up about fatherhood, and how he carried on his and his late wife's traditions with their kids with his kids with Felicity.

Speaking with The Guardian in 2017, he shared: "Bringing up my own kids, with my wife Kate, we sat down to dinner every night together. We both loved cooking," adding: "Whenever we traveled for work, we would always get a place with a kitchen so we could cook."

He continued: "Now, my wife, Felicity Blunt, and I continue to do that with the kids and our two-year-old son, Matteo. Food has become a kind of obsession with me, but it is more than that, it is another limb or organ, it is part of who I am," adding: "It is vital that you have a meal together; nothing is more bonding or more healing."
