John Mulaney Praises Olivia Munn, Saying She is “Incredibly” Out of His League

The Hollywood power couple secretly wed in July, two and a half years after their son, Malcolm, was born.

Olivia Munn and John Mulaney got married following Olivia’s public revelation about her battle with breast cancer and surgery earlier in the year. The wedding took place just four months after she made the announcement.

Mulaney seems surprised by his marriage to Olivia Munn, as he recently admitted that she’s out of his league.

In an interview with Page Six, John was asked if he thought he was marrying someone out of his league. Without hesitation, he confidently admitted to feeling like he was “punching above his weight” in the relationship.

At the premiere of his show “All In: Comedy About Love” on Broadway, Mulaney openly expressed, “One thousand percent. [She is] wildly, wildly out of my league,” referring to Olivia.

He quipped, “She’s somehow with this working comedian when she could be with Mr. Richard Kind, who is single. … Look at him! He’s a magnet.”

Richard Kind, whom he joked about, stars opposite Mulaney and Fred Armisen in the stage show.

Mulaney and Munn secretly wed in July, two and a half years after the birth of their son, Malcolm.

The couple kept their marriage low-key by exchanging vows at a close friend’s home in New York. According to People Magazine, the intimate ceremony was attended only by their 2-year-old son, Malcolm, and a witness.

Mulaney and Munn’s relationship began in May 2021, shortly after the “Big Mouth” star completed a stint in rehab for drug and alcohol issues.

In an interview with GQ Magazine, Munn revealed that she “barely knew” Mulaney when she discovered she was pregnant with their son, Malcolm, in 2021.

Reflecting on their relationship at the time, she admitted, “It wasn’t anything close to ‘dating.”

The “Predator” actress shared that while Mulaney was thrilled when she told him about the pregnancy, they hadn’t yet planned for marriage or cohabitation.

Initially, Munn expected they would co-parent from different coasts, but their connection deepened with the “SNL” star visiting during the pregnancy.

However, the couple later chose to raise their son, Malcolm, together just a few months before his birth in November 2021. In September, they welcomed a baby girl, Méi, who was born via surrogate.

On December 16, at the premiere of his show “All In: Comedy About Love” in New York City, Mulaney shared a sweet moment from his daughter Méi’s three-month milestone.

He explained to People how they celebrated with a playful activity: “We had some crinkly paper that had black and white on it, which is a really good contrast to 3-month-old eyes, put her hand on it, and then she was playing with it herself.”

The comedian also expressed his love for spending time with his daughter, even finding moments to style her for events.

“I got home from the show last night at about 11 p.m., and [the] good thing about a 3-month-old is she’s up,” he said. “So I held her for a couple of hours, and then this morning we put a bow on her head. She had no choice.”

Mulaney and Munn’s marriage came four months after the “Mortdecai” actress announced that she received a “terrifying” breast cancer diagnosis last year after tests revealed she had luminal B in both breasts.

The actress subsequently had to undergo four surgeries, a double mastectomy, and a medically induced menopause.

“I was not someone who obsessed over death or was afraid of it in any way,” she told People Magazine at the time. “But having a little baby at home made everything much more terrifying.”

“You realize cancer doesn’t care who you are; it doesn’t care if you have a baby or if you don’t have time,” she shared. “It comes at you, and you have no choice but to face it head-on.”

Munn also praised Mulaney for his support during her cancer battle, noting he made it easier to deal with.

“It would’ve felt like climbing an iceberg without him,” she told People. “I don’t think he had a moment to himself, between being an incredibly hands-on father and going 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. And he did it all happily.”

Munn added, “It’s the best except when you’re just out of surgery, and it hurts to move or even laugh. I made him leave the room a few times because he would make me laugh too hard.”
