Courting attention! Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale can’t contain their excitement as they cheer on Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open… after naming their son after the tennis ace
They’re the tennis super-fans who named their second son after Rafael Nadal.
So it was no surprise to see Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale get a little overexcited as they cheered on the tennis legend at the Australian Open Men’s Final in Melbourne on Sunday night.
The couple made a series of extremely animated facial expressions, standing out in the crowds of a sold-out Rod Laver Arena.

At one point, Rose winced in pain as one of Rafael’s shots hit the net, while an exasperated Bobby was caught on camera uttering what appeared to be a curse word.
Back in 2017, the American actor told Entertainment Tonight how he and Rose came to name their second son after the sporting icon.
‘You know, Rafael Nadal had such a great year and we were constantly keeping up with him and watching all his matches so we were like, ‘How about Rafa? That goes well with Rocco’. And that was it,’ he stated.
