Jason Ritter's Mother's Day Post To Melanie Lynskey
Back in March, the world low-key fell in love with Melanie Lynskey and Jason Ritter's relationship thanks to Jason's A+ response to the internet basically thirsting over his wife at Vanity Fair's annual Oscars afterparty.
In case you missed it, 47-year-old Melanie looked absolutely sensational as she posed in a sequin red off-the-shoulder gown by Christian Siriano on the red carpet, while Jason, 45, opted for a classic tux and bow tie. Melanie's photos ended up going viral, and before long, people were jokingly asking if Jason could fight as they threatened to steal Melanie from him, and Jason took the whole thing in his stride. He started by simply tweeting: 'Yes I can fight,' but then followed up with a hilarious video of himself practicing his intimidating fight moves.
For reference, Melanie and Jason, who is the son of the late actor John Ritter, first started dating back in 2013, and they welcomed a daughter together in 2018. They got married two years later, and have been living happily ever after ever since.
And Jason did not hold back as he paid loving tribute to Melanie in a very lengthy Instagram caption on Sunday in honor of Mother's Day — and Melanie's response made the whole thing even more adorable.
Sharing a selection of photos of Melanie with their daughter, Jason wrote: 'Happiest of happy Mother's Days to this dream person, @msmelanielynskey. Our daughter is SO lucky to have you as her mother. The happiness that explodes out of your sweet face when you are with her is something to behold. Your patience, kindness, empathy, humor, strength and the way you look at the world are all qualities that I am so grateful our daughter get to see and model as a young girl coming into this crazy world.'
'The fact that I get to be here watching the story between you two unfold is the greatest joy of my life,' Jason went on. 'She is who she is because you love her in the way everybody needs to be loved, and you listen to her and give her the respect of acknowledging the validity of her experiences, and you gently guide her towards solutions, or new ways of looking at things.'
Referencing how Melanie got one of their daughter's drawings permanently tattooed on her arm, the actor added: 'I love that her little cat drawing is on your arm forever. Thank you for creating and raising this little person with me, thank you for being who you are, thank you for being such a wonderful guiding light for our family. At my worst moments I could never have imagined being a part of something so beautiful, and I am so grateful you believed in me enough to allow me to try to be the person I felt you knew I was.'
'I can't wait to watch our daughter grow up and look over at you with pride a million times at the amazing person she is, with all the love and gratitude in the world. I also can't wait to tackle any and all the obstacles we may come across. In the good times and the tough times, you are a rock, and I love the way we can come up with solutions to problems, and work together to implement them!' Jason concluded, before referencing the song he'd used on the post by writing: 'You do so much, and I see all of it. You are such a magical person and you definitely deserve better than this terrible song but it made me laugh. UNLIKE this song, you just get better and better as life goes on. Cannot wait for many, many more chapters of this, my favorite story. 🥰'If you're wondering, the song in question was the 1988 track 'Mother' by Danzig.
Needless to say, Jason's followers were in awe of his heartfelt post, with many flocking to the comment section to send their own Mother's Day well-wishes to Melanie, however, nobody was as touched as Melanie herself, who commented: 'First of all, I love this song and isn't it universally praised or do I run in the wrong circles?? Secondly I did not approve any of these photos. Third, I love you so much Dring.'
'Thank you for this beautiful post and for taking the time to make me feel this special today,' she went on. 'I always love your long captions and when one is created especially for me it is the greatest gift in the universe. I feel like I won a very lovely prize. Thank you for creating this little person with me. You're the best dad in the world and she and I are so lucky to have you. I love you forever. 🩷❤️🩷'
And this was enough to send their fans over the edge, with one person replying to Melanie's comment: 'everything about this is so so cute it hurts!!! happy mother's day ♥️''happy Mother's Day beautiful woman, I know you're getting all of the love you deserve today ❤️❤️,' somebody else added. One more wrote: '*happy tears* Love you guys… and thank you both for being who you are, both as actors and with each other ❤️'Another noted: 'You and Jason won the lotto when you found each other!'

MGK Searches for the ‘American Dream' in New Album Trailer Seemingly Narrated by Bob Dylan
MGK's next album will be a tribute to Americana, and it seems that he tapped one of the subculture's biggest heroes, Bob Dylan, to narrate the project's trailer. In a clip previewing the August-slated LP posted Tuesday (June 10), a voice sounding very familiar to Dylan's can be heard reading a description of the rapper-turned-rocker's Lost Americana, calling it 'a personal excavation of the American dream.' More from Billboard MGK Talks Working With Lil Wayne on 'Alone In The Studio With My Gun,' Has Two Albums Coming & More | BET Awards 2025 Quincy Jones Remembered by Lucky Daye, Luke James & Miles Caton With Smooth 2025 BET Awards Tribute Jamie Foxx Honored by Stevie Wonder & Reflects on Health Scare at BET Awards: 'You Can't Go Through Something Like That & Not Testify' 'It's a sonic map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention and a quest to reclaim the essence of American freedom,' the Dylan-esque drawl says over fuzzy shots of MGK smoking, riding motorcycles, hanging out with friends, taking in a mountainous landscape in awe and walking the Las Vegas strip. 'From the glow of neon diners to the rumble of the motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty found in the in-between spaces. Where the past is reimagined, and the future is forged on your own terms.' MGK further teased that Dylan is in fact the featured voice by cheekily writing in the video's caption, 'narrated by …' without revealing any names. Later, the 'My Ex's Best Friend' artist not-so-randomly shared a black-and-white photo of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer on Instagram Stories Tuesday. Billboard has reached out to Dylan's reps for comment. Arriving Aug. 8, Lost Americana will mark MGK's seventh studio album, following 2022's Billboard 200-topper Mainstream Sellout. Leading up to its release, the artist born Colson Baker has dropped singles 'Your Name Forever' and 'Cliche,' which followed his 2024 collaborations with Jelly Roll, 'Lonely Road' and 'Time of Day.' And while a collaboration with the famously elusive Dylan might seem random, the Lost Americana trailer wouldn't be the first time he and MGK's worlds have collided (assuming that it really is the legend's voice in the narration). In February, Dylan left fans confused when, without explanation, he posted an old video of the 'I Think I'm Okay' artist rapping in a Florida music store in 2016 on Instagram. Whether that was Dylan's way of declaring that he's a fan of MGK or just a random moment, the younger musician was amused by the post. 'you having a phone is so rad,' MGK commented at the time.

'Bachelor 'Alum Vanessa Grimaldi Shares She Experienced Second Miscarriage in a Year: 'Still Feels Surreal'
Vanessa Grimaldi has experienced her second miscarriage in less than a year. On Monday, June 9, the former Bachelor star, 37, posted a series of slides on her Instagram and revealed that she experienced another miscarriage, her second in the past year. Titled "When the Heart Breaks Again: Miscarriage No. 2," the slides shared Grimaldi's candid thoughts after learning she had miscarried a second time. "This is my second miscarriage. Saying that out loud still feels surreal," Grimaldi wrote. "Especially finding out during my ultrasound. Again. It adds another layer to the grief, one that's heavier, more complicated and harder to put into words." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Grimaldi, who is mom to son Winston, 2, shared that the only place that's bringing her peace in her home is sitting in her son's room. "It's comforting in a way I can't quite explain," Grimaldi wrote. "I'm so incredibly grateful for him. My healthy, joyful little boy," she continued. "And at the same time, my heart aches for the baby I never got to meet. I keep thinking about Winston as a newborn. All the firsts, the sleepy snuggles, the tiny milestones. I imagined getting to live through those moments again." "But instead, I'm left with the silence of what could have been. Again," wrote Grimaldi. She went on to say her mind "feels foggy" and said while she's usually good at making space for her feelings, she now just wants to stay busy and avoid the "heaviness." "Grief is strange. It sneaks in, even in the middle of gratitude," Grimaldi said. "But today, Josh helped me do one small thing just for me. He got me an iced cappuccino. Something I haven't had since finding out I was pregnant." "It felt simple. But also like the first step back to myself. A small moment of comfort in a sea of ache," she continued. "And to every mama navigating this kind of heartbreak, I'm sending you so much love and comfort." In September, Grimaldi posted a series of slides on her Instagram and shared that she experienced a miscarriage. "I wasn't sure how to share this. But, I knew I wanted to," she began. "A few months ago, I had the 2 biggest surprises: finding out I was pregnant, then finding out I miscarried," Grimaldi said. She continued, saying it took a while to allow her body to let go as she went through ultrasounds, blood tests, doctor appointments and many conversations with friends. "It was a hard yet bonding process that made me feel less alone and ultimately helped me heal," Grimaldi said. Read the original article on People
