Melissa McCarthy Celebrates Ben Falcone's Birthday With Sweet Tribute
Melissa McCarthy is celebrating hubby Ben Falcone's 50th birthday with a little bit of sweetness and a little bit of sass.
The Gilmore Girls alum took to Instagram to commemorate the big day yesterday, Aug. 25, sharing what a photo of her husband from what looks like high school picture day. The younger Falcone's body is slightly tilted, while his face looks the camera head-on. He wore an acid-wash denim jacket with a U2 button pin on the lapel over a blue tee shirt, which McCarthy was sure to criticize—albeit gently—in her message to him.
"Nifty nifty loo whose FIFTY!!" McCarthy, 53, wrote alongside the throwback snap. "Happy 50th @benjyfalcone. When this picture was taken 50 seemed like 100 years away. I’d marry this guy all over again, acid washed denim and U2 lapel button and all ?????? !!!!!"
Fans loved the sweet glimpse at their relationship, which often includes a little bit of gentle trolling, much like Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.
"Happy Birthday to your hubby! You two are the cutest couple," one wrote.
"This is so sweet. ??," another said.
"HB He is cute!!!" fellow actress Amy Sedaris wrote.
The adorable couple first crossed paths with each other in the '90s, when she was a freshman in college and he was still in high school. They met formally in 1998 and were married in 2005, now sharing two daughters: Vivian, 16, and Georgette, 13.
They were recently spotted out together, sans Georgette, for the Little Mermaid premiere, in which McCarthy played Ursula.
