John Mulaney has turn into a lady dad and he couldn’t be more besotted.
After Mulaney, 42, and his wife, Olivia Munn, welcomed their second child via surrogate on Saturday, September 14, with Munn, 44, sharing the news via Instagram on Sunday, September 22, the actor took to social media himself that day to share his joy.
In an Instagram carousel, the actor posted a video of himself tapping the back of his newborn, named Méi June Mulaney, to help with the child’s bodily functions. Once the little girl released the air she needed to, and nestled sleepily into her father’s chest, Mulaney was heard saying, “There you go,” as he continued to assuage the child.
Two additional photos showed him and Munn within the hospital with their recent baby, in addition to the couple sharing a moment overlooking the ocean with Méi and their son, Malcolm, 2.
John Mulaney and Olivia Munn kicked their romance into high gear after his split from his wife of six years, Anna Marie Tendler, in May 2021. As news broke that Mulaney and Tendler had called it quits, Us Weekly confirmed that the comedian had moved on with Munn. Mulaney and Munn were photographed on a […]
“Méi June Mulaney got here into the world September 14, 2024, the yr of the dragon🐉,” Mulaney captioned the post. “We stole a lot stuff from the hospital. I really like my little girl a lot. Méi (pronounced may) means plum in Chinese 梅💜.”
Mulaney’s post went live right after Munn’s announcement hit her own Instagram account. “Méi June Mulaney got here into the world September 14, 2024, the yr of the dragon🐉,” Munn captioned her announcement post. “I had so many profound emotions about not with the ability to carry my daughter. After I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother. She showed me a lot grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel. Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby protected for 9 months and made our dreams come true.”
The actress continued, “I’m so pleased with my little plum, my little dragon for making the journey to be with us. My heart has exploded. Méi (pronounced may) means plum in Chinese 梅💜.”

Munn, who began dating Mulaney in 2021 and married him in July 2024, revealed via Instagram in March 2024 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023, undergoing five surgeries throughout the course of her treatment including a double mastectomy and a full hysterectomy.
Within the post, she mentioned how her then-boyfriend had supported her through the diagnosis and subsequent surgeries.
Olivia Munn initially selected to maintain her breast cancer diagnosis private, but she’s shared loads of powerful details since coming forward along with her journey. “In February of 2023, in an effort to be proactive about my health, I took a genetic test that checks you for 90 different cancer genes,” Munn wrote via Instagram in […]
“I’m so thankful to John for the nights he spent researching what every operation and drugs meant and what negative effects and recovery I could expect,” Munn wrote on the time. “For being there before I went into each surgery and being there once I woke up, at all times placing framed photos of our little boy Malcolm so it was the very first thing I saw once I opened my eyes.”
Munn’s heartfelt words attracted a comment from Mulaney who wrote within the comments section, “Thanks for fighting so hard to be here for us. Malc and I like you. ❤️.”
