Jason Ritter Just Wrote The Most Beautiful Mother’s Day Tribute To Melanie Lynskey, And I Genuinely Have Tears In My Eyes
May 12, 2025
Back in March, the world low-key fell in love with Melanie Lynskey and Jason Ritter’s relationship thanks to Jason’s A+ response to the internet basically thirsting over his wife at Vanity Fair’s annual Oscars afterparty.

In case you missed it, 47-year-old Melanie looked absolutely sensational as she posed in a sequin red off-the-shoulder gown by Christian Siriano on the red carpet, while Jason, 45, opted for a classic tux and bow tie.
Melanie’s photos ended up going viral, and before long, people were jokingly asking if Jason could fight as they threatened to steal Melanie from him, and Jason took the whole thing in his stride.
He started by simply tweeting: “Yes I can fight,” but then followed up with a hilarious video of himself practicing his intimidating fight moves.
For reference, Melanie and Jason, who is the son of the late actor John Ritter, first started dating back in 2013, and they welcomed a daughter together in 2018. They got married two years later, and have been living happily ever after ever since.

And Jason did not hold back as he paid loving tribute to Melanie in a very lengthy Instagram caption on Sunday in honor of Mother’s Day — and Melanie’s response made the whole thing even more adorable.
