A creamy lace scarf was wound around her neck and fluttered to her knees while a stylish bag hung from her arm.

The couple proved they're still very much in love and in sync as they embraced and smooched right there on a tree-lined sidewalk.

Ben looked relaxed behind his tinted aviator shades that kept the bright California glare out of his eyes.
He was wearing shorts, a blue T-shirt and navy trainers as he wrapped his arms around the Bridesmaids star.

The film has received mixed reviews from critics and some scathing comments from fans of the original Ghostbusters flick from 1984 starring Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.
'All those comments - "You're ruining my childhood!" I mean, really,' Melissa told The Guardian in regards to the haters. 'Four women doing any movie on earth will destroy your childhood?'
Added the star: 'I have a visual of those people not having a Ben (Falcone), not having friends, so they're just sitting there and spewing hate into this fake world of the Internet. I just hope they find a friend.'

Melissa, who gained fame after starring as Sookie St. James on Gilmore Girls (2000 to 2007) shares two daughters with Ben, Georghette, six, and Vivian, nine.
She's also made a name for herself as clothing designer and launched the fall collection of her Melissa McCarthy Seven7 line just recently.
Melissa, who has lost a reported 75 lbs in the past two years, doesn't want her appearance to be the focus.
The star conceded that she has lost weight in a recent interview with People, and continued: 'I'll be up, I'll be down, probably for the rest of my life. The thing is, if that is the most interesting thing about me, I need to go have a lavender farm in Minnesota and give this up.'
