Olivia Munn and John Mulaney have welcomed their daughter, Mei June Mulaney, via surrogacy. Mei, born on September 14, 2024, arrived during the Year of the Dragon.
Munn, 44, expressed her deep emotions about not being able to carry her daughter and praised their gestational surrogate for her grace and understanding.
She shared her gratitude for the surrogate who safely brought their baby into the world, calling her a “real-life angel.”
Munn described her joy and pride in welcoming her “little plum” and noted that Mei means “plum” in Chinese.
John Mulaney, 42, also celebrated the birth of their daughter, expressing his love for Mei on social media with a touch of humor about their hospital experience.
The couple, who already have a nearly three-year-old son named Malcolm, is overjoyed with the addition to their family.
Mulaney, known for his work as a comedian and writer on Saturday Night Live, shared his excitement about becoming a father again.
Earlier this year, Munn revealed that she had undergone multiple surgeries, including a double mastectomy, due to an aggressive form of breast cancer. She credited early detection for saving her life.
In addition to the mastectomy, she also had a partial hysterectomy and an oophorectomy. Munn has since started taking Arimidex, a breast cancer medication, and is committed to her health and recovery.
Munn shared in a recent interview that she decided to freeze her eggs following her cancer diagnosis, ensuring the possibility of expanding their family.
Her health journey has been a significant aspect of her life, and she has been open about her experiences with fans and followers.
Despite the challenges, the couple’s joy in welcoming Mei shows their resilience and hope for the future.
Known for her roles in The Daily Show, The Newsroom, and X-Men: Apocalypse, Munn has navigated her career and personal life with strength and grace.
The couple’s openness about their surrogacy experience and Munn’s health struggles highlights their journey as a family and their commitment to overcoming challenges together.
