During her appearance on The Tonight Show, Melanie Lynskey shared that when she and her now-husband Jason Ritter got engaged, she had no idea.

Don't worry, she was confused, too.


The Yellowjackets star told host Jimmy Fallon that Ritter's "proposal" sounded more like a breakup speech to her.

She recalled that the two had been out shopping and looking at rings. Lynskey liked one in particular but felt it looked too much like an engagement ring, so she put it back.

Then later, Ritter ended up gifting her the ring.

“So I was like, ‘Oh, thanks.’ It didn’t sort of cross my mind."

The Last of Us actor said the gift was accompanied by a "strange speech."

She continued:

"We were just sort of sitting there... and I was like, 'Oh, okay.'"
"'...Are you... Do you... Are we... We're not breaking up?'"

Ritter assured her they were not, to which Lynskey replied:

"Okay. Well, thank you."
"Lovely... Good chat?"

Then three days later while visiting his family for the holidays, Ritter announced their engagement.

Lysnkey said:

“It was so confusing."

She added:

"That's not usually what a proposal is like."
"People usually understand that... that it's happening."

Lynskey did tell Fallon that Ritter has made up for the confusing moment "over and over" again.

According to the actor, Ritter is constantly finding new ways to propose to her, even though the two married in 2020.

"Since then, he's been very sweet and he's been proposing to me over and over."
"... which is very sweet."

Very sweet, indeed.
