The reptile expo “is the place to go,” Byrne detailed to Jimmy Fallon, noting it would be a “parent fail” if they didn’t follow through on their promise to secure Benny Blue the Bearded Dragon.
“I love that guy,” Jake Cannavale, Cannavale’s son with ex-wife Jenny Lumet, told E! News in March about the new addition. “It’s funny because you know my dad hated pets growing up. And now he’s being a dad again, and everything sort of has changed.”
Though one status has remained consistent.
Cannavale and Byrne have taken to using the terms husband and wife rather colloquially some 14 years into their romance, and a decade after Byrne began wearing a rather sparkly ring on her left hand.
“I hate all the other words! It’s just easier to say ‘husband and wife,'” Cannavale explained to Vulture in January 2020. “‘Boyfriend and girlfriend’ feels so young. ‘Partner’ feels so sterile.”
Though Byrne wasn’t totally opposed to one unstuffy suggestion, joking, “My lover, Bobby.”
They’d been planning to wed, she noted, “and then another baby, and then—”
Bottom line, Cannavale summed up, “Who gives a s–t. It’s just funny what people care about.”
