In March 2024, Munn announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer a year prior. The following month, she opened up to PEOPLE about how the scary news affected her parenting and relationship with her husband.
“It would’ve felt like climbing an iceberg without him,” said Munn, who endured four surgeries over 10 months. She called Mulaney a huge support and “an incredibly hands-on father,” recalling how he would go “to and from the hospital—taking Malcolm to the park, putting him to nap, driving to Cedars-Sinai, hanging out with me, going home, putting Malcolm to bed, coming back to me,” she said. “And he did it all happily.”
Now, the family of four spends time playing and traveling together. Here’s everything to know about John Mulaney and Olivia Munn’s kids: Malcolm and Méi.

Munn and Mulaney welcomed their first child together, Malcolm Hiệp, on Nov. 24, 2021. The pairintroduced their newbornto the world a month later, each posting a photo of him sleeping on Instagram.
Munn revealed in a November 2024 interview withGQthat she and Mulaney “barely knew” each otherwhen she got pregnant. “It wasn’t necessarily, ‘We’re going to be married and live together’ or any of that, but it was ‘I’ll be involved in some way,’ ” she said.
However, two months before Malcolm was born, the pair decided to try raising their son as a couple. Three years later, Munn and Mulaneytied the knotin a private ceremony.
In October 2022, Munn shared that Malcolm waslearning how to speak.The Newsroomstar is also teaching her sonhow to speak Mandarin. A year after he first started talking, Munn shared a video of Malcolm repeating words from a Mandarin book that her friendAli Wonggifted to him.
After her breast cancer diagnosis, Munn said onGood Morning Americathatshe wanted to document her journeybecause of Malcolm.
“If I didn’t make it, I wanted my son when he got older to know that I fought to be here. That I tried my best,” she said. Munn later opened up to PEOPLE about how undergoing a double mastectomy initiallyaffected her ability to be as hands-on with Malcolm.

Munn added, “When I’m with Malcolm, it’s really the only time your brain doesn’t think about that you’re sick. I’m just so happy with him. I’m just so happy in life. I mean, he’s just the most fun little person.”
After Munn and Mulaney welcomed their daughter in September 2024, the comedian told PEOPLE that the toddler wassettling well into being a big brother.
“He likes it. It’s interesting, with our daughter, she’s two months old so she doesn’t do much,” Mulaney said. “And I think the first couple of weeks he thought she might be a toy because she’d squeak and he’d be like, ‘How do I make it do that again?’ Now I think he gets it, that this is a little girl.”
Two months after Méi’s arrival, Munn and Mulaneycelebrated Malcolm turning 3. The actress posted a photo of her and Malcolm wearing robes while he sat on a marble countertop to celebrate the occasion.
“Magic Malc turns 3 today 🥹 🎂 This photo was taken last year just around the time I found out I had breast cancer,” she wrote in the caption. “I remember this time fondly all because of this little boy. He’s made me stronger and softer in ways I never knew I could be. Happiest Birthday my sweet boy. You cracked my heart wide open.”

“Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon🐉,” she wrote in the caption. “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.”
After Munn and Mulaney welcomed Méi, a source close to the couple told PEOPLE that the pair werehappy to be a family of four. “They are in total bliss with Méi and Malcolm,” the insider said. “After everything they have been through there’s no tighter, closer little family.”
