Melissa McCarthy is one of many stars in attendance at the 98th Academy Awards. Though she isn’t a nominee this year, it’s still shaping up to be a memorable night for the actress. She’s set to reunite with her Bridesmaids costars Rose Byrne — who’s nominated for her performance in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You — Kristen Wiig, Ellie Kemper, and Maya Rudolph on the Oscars stage, almost 15 years after the rom-com hit theaters.

But that’s not the only thing making the night special for McCarthy. The ceremony doubles as date night for the actress, who brought along her husband, Ben Falcone. (He also had a role in Bridesmaids!) It’s not a rare occurrence for the longtime couple. They’ve been together for over two decades.
