When it was announced in September 2021 that comedian John Mulaney and actress Olivia Munn were expecting a child together, it came as quite a surprise to the pop culture world. As it turns out, the pregnancy came as a surprise to Munn and Mulaney, too.
Having gotten married in July 2024, John Mulaney and Olivia Munn are now expecting their second child together. As she told GQ for Mulaney’s recent “Comedian of the Year” profile, though, they “barely knew” each other when she got pregnant the first time.
Mulaney and Munn’s first child, their son Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney, was born on November 24, 2021.
“It wasn’t anything close to ‘dating,’ ” Munn says. “I barely knew him.” Still, when she told Mulaney she was pregnant, she says, he was immediately eager for her to have the baby. “It wasn’t necessarily ‘We’re going to be married and live together’ or any of that, but it was ‘I will be involved in some way.’ ” Munn assumed they would co-parent. For most of the pregnancy, she lived in LA while Mulaney was in New York. Every few weeks they would talk or he would visit. [via GQ]
In September, Mulaney and Munn welcomed a second child, their daughter Méi June, via surrogate pregnancy.
Mulaney has certainly bounced back from a rehab stint in 2020, as he’s not only released a highly regarded stand-up special and late-night show on Netflix (which has been renewed for a second season), but he’s also had a role in the hit FX series The Bear, and hosted Saturday Night Live for a sixth time earlier this year.
Earlier this month, he also signed on to star in the sci-fi film Lunik Heist alongside Oscar winners Jared Leto and Lupita Nyong’o.
