Melissa McCarthy and husband Ben Falcone’s eldest daughter, Vivian, has grown up before their very eyes — and is dressed to impress for prom.
“Thank you to @sherrihill @realkarahill @dandridesigns for making Viv’s prom dreams come true,” McCarthy, 54, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, May 30, sharing a rare snap of her firstborn.
In the image, Vivian stunned in a blue-and-white, floral strapless gown that featured a corseted bodice and ruffled skirt. The teen accessorized her look with a simple gold pendant necklace and wore her auburn locks in a tousled updo.
In addition to Vivian, McCarthy and Falcone, 51, are parents to daughter Georgette, 15.
In her new movie Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Melissa McCarthy plays the late Lee Israel, a writer who sold forged letters from the literary elite after her career began to stall in the early ’90s. Though Israel, who pleaded guilty to the crime in 1993 and was sentenced to six months of house arrest and five years […]
“[My daughters are] really smart and funny, weird,” the Bridesmaids actress told Us Weekly and other reporters in February 2019. “I think they’re better [than me]. They’re further along in their young lives than I was. I feel like I had to push almost 30 to get their kind of confidence, so I love seeing that.”
According to McCarthy, her experience with parenting, luckily, came with “more joys than challenges.”
“The challenges are just, ‘Am I doing enough?’ and being surprised and amazed by my girls,” she gushed.

One year earlier, McCarthy revealed the biggest lessons that she’s passed along to Vivian and Georgette.
“I tell my kids all the time, like, you are the one [who] determines your self-worth. Not what other people think of you,” she exclusively told Us in October 2018. “I think we do so much now of, ‘What do you think of me?’ ‘Look at my vacation, do you like it?’”
McCarthy and Falcone have been married since 2005.
“They both support each other’s careers and are creative with each other at home,” a source told Us in November 2022. “They’re really each other’s biggest fans in every way.”
The 2024 prom season is officially upon Us — and celebrities are sharing photos of their kids headed to the school dance. Soap opera star Cameron Mathison, for one, got emotional while sending 17-year-old daughter Leila Mathison off to her senior prom on April 28. “Leila, I want you to know that you are always […]
While McCarthy and Falcone have kept most of their home life relatively private, Vivian and Georgette are aware of their biggest acting projects.
“I watched [the Gilmore Girls pilot] with Vivian once, my oldest, and … it was just, watching her watch it,” she joked on a May 2023 episode of Today, referring to her role of Sookie St. James on The WB hit. “I’m also always afraid [that] somehow, something [is] going to happen and I’m going to be found in the room watching my own thing. So I have a super paranoia about it.”
She added, “I’m always like, what if I pass out and paramedics come in and the takeaway is, ‘She’s watching her own stuff.’ Pretty weird. It’s all I ever think when we turn on [the TV] and it’s me. I’m like, ‘Oh God, do I feel light-headed?’ I don’t want to pass out in a room where myself is playing [on screen]. I know I shouldn’t talk about that, it makes me sound nuts.”
