The Tonight Reveal
While chatting with Jimmy Fallon on Jan. 8, Byrne shared Cannavale’s conflict:
> “Bobby can’t come, which is such a bummer. He’s going to a reptile expo in New Jersey.“
Fallon’s jaw dropped. Byrne explained the expo is the premier spot to find the family’s next addition: a bearded dragon that snacks on live crickets.
Family First
The couple, together since 2012, weighed the calendar clash and chose critters over couture.
- The expo landed on the same day as the ceremony
- Missing it would be a parent fail, Byrne said
- Cannavale is “doing God’s work” tracking down the loveliest dragon in Jersey
Globe Goals
Byrne is vying for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Movie for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. She plays Linda, a psychotherapist juggling crises and an offbeat bond with her own therapist.
Category rivals include Amanda Seyfried, Chase Infiniti, Cynthia Erivo, Emma Stone, and Kate Hudson.
Key Takeaways
- Byrne walks the red carpet alone this weekend
- Cannavale’s reptile mission keeps the family tradition intact
- The couple, who call each other husband and wife, still haven’t made it legal
Byrne will toast to bearded dragons from Beverly Hills while Cannavale bags crickets across the country.
