“Academy Award Nominee Best Actress Winner Best Mama, Friend, Human What a moment @fullyrosebyrne,” Cannavale wrote before pointing out a notification at the top of the screenshot. “Also, thanks Google Home for letting me know someone walked in front of our house, again.”

Bobby Cannavale’s Instagram post
Cannavale and Byrne have been together since 2012, and share two children together. They’ve acted together in movies like Spy, TV shows like Platonic, and plays such as Medea, and said that they call each other “husband and wife” despite never officially tying the knot.
Many Golden Globes viewers were surprised, then, that Cannavale was nowhere to be seen when Byrne took home the trophy for Best Female Actor – Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy on Jan. 11.
“I wanna thank my husband, Bobby Cannavale, who couldn’t be here because we’re getting a bearded dragon and he went to a reptile expo in New Jersey,” she said during her tearful acceptance speech. “So thank you, thank you, baby.”
Byrne previously told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that Cannavale and the kids would be tied up at the expo, noting that it would be “such a parent fail” if her family missed out on the bearded dragon just to attend the Golden Globes. “I’m on board for the dragon,” she said. “It’s gonna be great.”
Several prominent actors commented on Cannavale’s celebratory post, including Naomi Watts, who costarred with the Station Agent actor in The Watcher and Movie 43.
“Love this so much!! Are you bringing the bearded dragon?” the Mulholland Drive actress asked.
The Matrix star Joe Pantoliano also commented, “Wonderful news 🙌 congratulations 🍾.”
Meanwhile, Amanda Seyfried, who hit the awards circuit in support of The Testament of Ann Lee but ultimately didn’t receive an Oscar nomination, commented, “❤️🙌.”
And Byrne herself responded, “🥹🫶🏼 boo @bobby_cannavale.”
If I Had Legs I’d Kick You stars Byrne as a therapist struggling to care for her daughter, who has a feeding disorder, while her husband is out of town for work. The film also stars A$AP Rocky, Conan O’Brien, Danielle Macdonald, and Christian Slater.

Byrne, who’s currently in Sydney, reacted to her Oscar nomination in a brief interview with the Today show on Thursday morning.
“I went to bed late and then Bobby called me, and then my parents came in, and it was so amazing,” she said. “It’s so crazy, just so surreal. Such an honor, these women are incredible in this category. This movie, I feel like I’m the naughty kid who snuck in the back of the bus.”
The Bridesmaids star also shared an update on the bearded dragon, who still has yet to be named: “He’s so sweet. We’re all smitten. The kids are happy. Such a sweetie.”
