Comedian John Mulaney and actress Olivia Munn have welcomed their second child, a daughter named Méi June Mulaney. Olivia shared the happy news on Instagram, revealing that their baby was born via surrogate on Thursday.
In her post, Olivia expressed her deep feelings about not being able to carry her daughter herself. She wrote, “I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter.” Along with her words, she included a sweet photo of the family together in a hospital bed.
Olivia went on to describe her experience meeting their gestational surrogate. She said they talked “mother to mother” and that the woman showed her “so much grace and understanding.” Olivia felt that she had found a “real-life angel.” She added, “Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true.”
The name Méi (pronounced "may") has a special meaning. In Chinese, it means “plum.” This choice reflects Olivia’s appreciation for her cultural background.
John Mulaney, 42, and Olivia Munn, 44, married in July this year. They also share a two-year-old son named Malcolm, who was born in November 2021. Their journey to parenthood has been unique and filled with love.
Earlier this year, Olivia shared that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy as part of her treatment. In an interview with People in March, she mentioned how supportive John was during this challenging time. She said it would have felt like “climbing an iceberg” without him by her side.
The couple began dating in 2021, and their relationship has blossomed since then. They are known for being open about their experiences and sharing their joy with fans.
Now, with the arrival of Méi, their family has grown even more. Olivia’s heartfelt post shows how much she values the journey of motherhood, even when it doesn’t go as planned.
John and Olivia’s story is a reminder that families can take many forms. The love and support they show each other are inspiring. Fans are excited to see their family continue to grow and to share in their happiness.
The joy of welcoming a new baby is something special, and this couple is ready for the adventure ahead.
With love in their hearts and a growing family, they look forward to sharing their journey with fans and friends.
