The 'Yellowjackets' star opened up to Jimmy Fallon about how she didn't realize she and Jason Ritter were engaged until he announced it to his family due to his 'confusing' proposal.

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.

A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
