He’s nothing but supportive, and he’s super smart,” McCarthy told PEOPLE of her husband in February. “He makes me gut-laugh, like crazy gut-laugh, four or five times a day. I hit the jackpot!” McCarthy added that she is thankful for Falcone's strong presence in the lives of their two daughters, Georgette “Georgie”, 10, and Vivian, 13. The Bridesmaids actress said at the time that Falcone "leads with nothing but kindness." Melissa McCarthy.

It’s hard to make that resonate in a world where the nastiest comment wins and it’s a sporting event to be mean to people,” McCarthy said. “Ben and I discussed wanting to put just really good stuff back out into the world.” The movie star also shared that she and Falcone don't have the "most serious household." "There’s a lot of serious stuff happening in the world, and we don’t have to have it in the house,” she said. “I always say I’m living in a constant old Calgon commercial where every single day in our house there’s people yelling, people coming in and out, people riding through the living room. Our youngest is constantly on some kind of wheeled thing ripping through the house, and I just kind of love it.” Close
