Olivia Munn was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in April 2023, a shocking revelation as she had no prior symptoms or family history of the disease. This unexpected diagnosis led to a series of significant medical procedures, including a double mastectomy, an ovariectomy, and a partial hysterectomy. Throughout this challenging period, Munn received unwavering support from her husband, comedian John Mulaney.
Munn and Mulaney began dating in 2021 and have known each other for over a decade prior to their romantic relationship. Their bond deepened as Mulaney stood by Munn during her cancer treatment, attending every doctor’s appointment and researching her medical procedures and medications. Munn expressed her gratitude, stating, “I’m so thankful to John for the nights he spent researching what every operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect.” She added, “There’s no better person in the world to me than my husband.”
In a heartwarming turn of events, Mulaney proposed to Munn in September 2023 during James Marsden’s 50th birthday party. The proposal was memorable, featuring a humorous sign that read “No Diarrhea,” and Munn recalled that Mulaney asked her three times if she wanted to leave the party before he proposed. Munn described the moment, saying, “It was such a great night and then it became an even better night for me. He was like, ‘I just would’ve waited and proposed to you whenever.'”
Following their engagement, Munn announced her breast cancer diagnosis on Instagram in March 2024, highlighting the importance of awareness and support during such difficult times. Munn and Mulaney celebrated their marriage over the July 4th weekend in 2024, marking a new chapter in their lives.
The couple is now parents to two children: their son Malcolm, who is four years old, and their daughter Mei Mei, who is currently 18 months old. Munn’s journey through cancer treatment and her relationship with Mulaney have drawn attention and admiration from fans and observers alike.
As they continue to navigate their family life and Munn’s health journey, both Munn and Mulaney remain committed to supporting each other. Their story serves as a reminder of the strength found in love and partnership during challenging times.
