Olivia Munn Details Journey to Welcome Daughter Méi Amid Cancer Battle
Olivia Munn and John Mulaney Welcome Baby No. 2
Olivia Munn’s path to life as mom of two wasn’t an easy one.
The Newsroom star—who welcomed daughter Méi June Mulaney with husband John Mulaney via surrogate in September—revealed that after she gave birth to the couple’s son Malcolm Hiep Mulaney in 2021, her journey to having a baby girl was complicated by her breast cancer diagnosis.
“We really wanted a little girl, and right after that we got the diagnosis,” Olivia, 44, said during a panel at Hello Sunshine’s 2nd Annual Shine Away Event connected by AT&T Oct. 5. “We had already planned to turn my eggs into embryos because when you have eggs frozen, you really don’t know the quality until they’re turned into embryos. So we go through that, and out of all my 26, only five were good. We had four boys, one girl.”
The Daily Show alum convinced her doctor to harvest one last round of eggs before her cancer treatment would impact her fertility, hoping to increase her likelihood of having a daughter. And she recalled talking through the process with John, who she wed in July.
