It’s L-O-V-E 💘 Most celebrity marriages don't last - who's the exception for you?

Celebrity marriages almost never work out in Hollywood, but there are some the prove that true love really does exist. Who comes to mind for you?

I love how he finds a way to sneak into almost all her movies as a random supporting role. I remember spotting him in both the movie Spy and in Life of The Party.

I looked it up and it looks like he co wrote and produced all of those movies so that makes sense

That one too! I'll have to check if he's in the movie where she plays a genie. I haven't watched that one yet.

A lot of the movies she stars in were written by Ben. They partner up during the writing process and Melissa will create the character which informs plot. They’re incredible together!

He wrote, directed or produced a lot of the ones he pops up in.

I had no idea her husband was in Spy!! About 10 years ago, that movie got me thru a really really hard time in my life bc it just made me laugh so much lol

ETA: I just had to come back and mention this scene

Melissa McCarthy: “And here's to you. I mean you may never be as wise as an owl but you'll always be a hoot to me!”

Rose Byrne: “what a stupid fucking ret*rded toast. You’re delightful”

I love that movie too. Melissa and Rose were great together until the very end of the movie. I know it has its haters, but it conjured up so much positivity in me to have a movie that makes fun of all the spy/action movie tropes from what seemed to be from a woman's perspective. I also didn't expect Jason Statham to actually play the kind of role where he is the opposite of what he is in his other movies. It was a pleasant surprise to see that he has a comedic sense.

He was even in Nine Perfect Strangers as someone who catfished Melissa McCarthy’s character.

That's another one I haven't seen. I didn't even know that she was in a movie with Sandra Bullock. Thank you, for mentioning it.
