Olivia Munn and John Mulaney have grown their family! The Hit Monkey star took to Instagram today to reveal the arrival of the couple’s second baby. Neither actor had previously shared they were expecting a baby.
The actress shared that she and John welcomed a daughter on September 14, 2024, “the year of the dragon.” The couple named their daughter Méi June Mulaney. Of her daughter’s name, The Newsroom star shared, “Méi (pronounced may) means plum in Chinese 梅.”
Méi’s birth comes months after the actress revealed her breast cancer diagnosis. Olivia was diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer in 2023 and had to undergo four surgeries, a double mastectomy, and medically induced menopause. The 44-year-old went through egg retrieval in June 2023 and she had previously frozen her eggs at ages 33 and 39. In her daughter’s birth announcement, Olivia opened up about not being able to carry her daughter and using a surrogate. “I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter. When I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother. She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel. Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true.” The Gateway star went on to express her gratitude for her daughter sharing, “I am so proud of my little plum, my little dragon for making the journey to be with us. My heart has exploded.”
Olivia and the comedian welcomed their first baby on November 24, 2021, a son named Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney. Malcolm’s arrival came the same year the two were first linked romantically. The couple tied the knot just a few months ago in July 2024. They said their “I dos” in a simple, intimate ceremony in New York state at a friend’s house.
Congratulations to Olivia and John on the birth of their baby girl!
