When Rose is asked about "HUSBAND" Bobby on live TV

Despite dating since 2012 and sharing a nine-month-old baby, Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale aren’t actually married.

So things got a bit awkward on Thursday morning when The Today Show cast kept asking Rose about her “husband”.

The 37-year-old Australian actress appeared somewhat uncomfortable on two occasions, when both Lisa Wilkinson and Richard Wilkins seemed to make the on-air faux pas.

Addressing Rose’s presence at the GQ Man Of The Year Awards in Sydney on Wednesday, Lisa said: “You presented the award for International man of the decade to the fabulous John Hamm from Mad Men.

“You told a great story about when you met your husband, you quickly discovered one his best mates was John Hamm. Tell us about that.”

As soon as the word “husband” was mentioned, the actress’ eyes immediately widened, showing discomfort that not even a forced smile could hide.

But being the professional she is, Rose went on to answer the question without correcting the journalist.

“Yes we weren’t dating very long and he casually mentioned he was friends with John Hamm and I played it very cool, I was like, ‘well that’s cool’.

“Then I called my friends and said, ‘ladies he’s friends with John Hamm, shut the front door’,” she laughed.

Later on entertainment reporter Richard asked the movie star if her “ridiculously handsome husband” was in the country with her, to which she simply responded, “he’s around”.

Rose and Bobby have been dating since 2012, and welcomed a baby boy Rocco back in February this year.
