January 11, 2026: Byrne accepts her Golden Globe Award for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and thanks Bobby, mentioning that he isn’t with her because he’s at a reptile expo buying their family a bearded dragon (which their son eventually named Benson Boone, LOL). Rose’s brother, the artist George Byrne, was her date to the event. The internet made a lot of cracks about this admission, but in separate Tonight Show interviews before and after the Globes, Byrne and Cannavale made it clear that this was a plan they agreed on.

July 16, 2021: Byrne opens up about why she and Cannavale haven’t gotten around to tying the knot, telling the Sydney Morning Herald, “I keep going, ‘Let’s get around to it, let’s do it.’ And then, you know, you have a baby, and then, oh, there’s another baby,” she says. “It was kind of like that for us. I love weddings, and I know people [for whom] it’s an important thing, and I respect that totally. I guess for us it’s just been, we didn’t do it, we’ll do it, then—no! Pandemic.”

January, 2020: Cannavale and Byrne costar in a modernized production of Medea at the BAM Harvey Theatre. (This is not their first time working together, and you should really watch 2015’s Spy if you haven’t already, they’re both so good in it.) The show’s planned run closes just before the pandemic.

December 2019: Ahead of their theatrical collaboration (including a planned Australian production of A View From The Bridge, which was scrapped by COVID), the Brooklyn-based pair sit for a joint interview with Vanity Fair, and reveal a bit about their home life and the strange way their careers and public personas are a reverse of gender norms: she makes more money; he’s more likely to be objectified.
