Rose Byrne squirmed awkwardly on the Today show on Thursday morning as presenters referred to long-term partner Bobby Cannavale as her husband - twice.

Lisa Wilkinson was the first to cause the actress a very uncomfortable moment before Richard Wilkins followed suit later in the segment.

The Hollywood star has been in a relationship with Bobby since 2012, and the pair have never publicly announced that they're married.

Awkward: Rose Byrne reacted awkwardly during an appearance on the Today show on Thursday after presenters referred to Bobby Cannavale as her husband - twice

In light of Rose presenting Jon Hamm the award for International Man of the Decade at the GQ awards in Sydney last night, Lisa prompted her to tell a story from when she began dating Bobby, who is a good friend of the Mad Men actor. 

She said: 'You told a great story about when you met your husband, you quickly discovered that one of his best mates was Jon Hamm.'

The 37-year-old's eyes seemed to widen after Lisa's use of the word 'husband' before she quickly brushed it off and recounted the story.

Uncomfortable: The actress seemed to be uncomfortable as both Lisa Wilkinson and Richard Wilkins called long-term partner Bobby her husband 

Pulling faces: The 37-year-old pulled a number of interesting faces on the show, but didn't correct the presenters 

The great inquisition: Richard (L) asked Rose if her 'ridiculously handsome husband' had accompanied her to Australia from their home in America 

However, a couple of minutes later Rose appeared to roll her eyes before offering a short, sharp response of 'he's around' when Richard inquired if her 'ridiculously handsome husband' was in Australia with her. 

Despite seeming uncomfortable with them calling her longtime love 'husband', the actress didn't choose to correct the journalists.  

American actor Bobby has previously referred to Rose as 'the love of my life' during an acceptance speech at the 2013 Emmy Awards. 

The couple also welcomed their first child into the world earlier this year in February when Rose gave birth to son Rocco. 

And Bobby seemed as smitten with the Australian as ever when they were pictured on the red carpet at Wednesday night's awards at the Ivy Ballroom.

Winner: Rose presented Mad Men actor Jon Hamm with the award for International Man of the Decade at Wednesday night's GQ Awards in Sydney 

And the 46-year-old, best known for his role in crime drama Third Watch, posted a loved-up snap of the pair from the event on Instagram on Thursday. 

He captioned the pic: 'With my beautiful lady @maryrosebyrne at last nights Australian #gqmoty2016 celebrating our friend Jon Hamm, GQ's Man Of The Decade!!!'  

And it was her partner's friendship with Jon which left Rose in awe of Bobby shortly after they met.

She told the Today show: 'We weren't dating very long and he casually mentioned he was best friends with Jon. 

'Shut the front door': Rose said she couldn't believe it when early in their relationship Bobby revealed that he was good friends with Jon  

Proud parents: Bobby and Rose welcomed their first child together into the world in February when son Rocco was born 

'I played it very cool. Then I called my girlfriends, "ladies, he's friends with Jon Hamm. Shut the front door."'

'I started asking questions like what's Jon like? Will he be there? And he would just say how lovely he was and how funny he is, which you probably don't always associate with Jon because of Mad Men and being such an intense portrayal.'

After getting to know Jon through his friendship with Bobby and then by working alongside him on hit film Bridesmaids, Rose was asked to present the award - something she 'had to do'. 

The Channel Nine show's interview had started with Rose talking about the venture that had brought her back to her homeland, a role in satire Speed-the-Plow. 

Relationship goals: The couple have never publicly announced that they are married

Friends: After getting to know Jon through her longtime love and after working with him on Bridesmaids, Rose was asked to present Wednesday's award 

Calling playwright David Mamet 'one of the greatest we've ever seen', the brunette said it's 'just so nice to be home' as she moves over from their home in America while the production runs over the summer. 

Partner Bobby and young son Rocco will accompany the actress throughout her stay and she doesn't foresee any problems splitting time between work and motherhood. 

She said: 'I'm really lucky. I have a lot of help. I have my family and I'm a lucky lady - like everyone juggling families, men and women, around the world.' 

Rose plays the role of a temporary secretary in the screen play, which is based on the struggles of a movie producer played by Lachy Hume. 

Speed-the-Plow is currently on stage at the Sydney Theatre Company until 17 December.
