Jason Ritter and Melanie Lynskey got engaged in 2017. Lynskey shared the news on “Hollywood Today Live” (via People) adding that Ritter had proposed to her on the sofa, saying, “It was cute.” But it wasn’t until 2020 that the two got hitched, and the ceremony was just as low-key as the proposal.
Lynskey was about to head North to film “Yellowjackets,” when she got some misinformation. “Honestly I got married because someone was like, ‘Jason won’t get into Canada unless you’re married,’ which just wasn’t true,” she said in an interview with Jess Cagle on SiriusXM. “… So I was like, ‘We have to get married tomorrow.'” The adorable, tiny wedding took place on the front porch of the couple’s rental house in Atlanta, with two of the couple’s pals, actors Ali Ahn and William Jackson Harper, in attendance. “A nice lady came and married us … It was actually a very fun wedding day but it didn’t need to happen,” Lynskey joked.

The two celebrated their anniversary in April 2023 with throwback posts on Instagram. While Ritter shared a video of him momentarily panicking on their wedding day having lost his ring, he added the caption, “I am the luckiest guy on the planet, and our daughter has the greatest mama of all mamas.” Meanwhile, Lynskey’s snap showed she was wearing Ugg slippers with her wedding dress, which she addressed by quipping, “Sorry if I look too glamorous in this photo guys, it is what it is.”
