Great choice of name.

Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski have welcomed their second child. The couple already have a daughter together, Hazel, who turned two in February of this year.

And now Hazel has just got a new baby sister. John shared the news on Twitter today saying that the baby was born two weeks ago and also announced her name.

Gushing on Twitter he said, “What better way to celebrate the 4th… than to announce our 4th family member!!! 2 weeks ago we met our beautiful daughter Violet

The pair got married in Italy in July 2010, having previously dated for two years. Only a month ago it was confirmed that Emily will play the iconic role of Mary Poppins in a new remake of the movie which will hit cinemas in December 2018.

It’s going to be set in a depression-era London, 20 years after the original movie, when Mary Poppins is needed at the Banks house to help overcome a family tragedy.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, it will be called Mary Poppins Returns and will see Emily starring alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda in the sequel directed by Rob Marshall (Into The WoodsChicago).
