Olivia Munn offered a rare insight into her affectionate relationship with John Mulaney, showing how he supports her on “low energy days.”
On Friday, June 28, Munn, 43, posted a video on her Instagram Story of Mulaney, 41, in a dark room, staring at a laptop and scratching his head. He was helping her prepare for an appearance on “The Mess Around with Hannah and Lamorne” podcast.
“I’m getting ready to talk about the New Girl episodes I did… but there’s a website I need to access… and now we have to update Chrome. Long story short, I’m feeling low energy today, so John is doing all the work for me,” Munn told her followers.
The New Girl rewatch podcast is hosted by Hannah Simone and Lamorne Morris, who played Cece and Winston Bishop, respectively, on the Emmy-nominated series.
Munn played Angie, a stripper involved in a three-episode romance with Nick (Jake Johnson), from 2012 to 2013.
Munn and Mulaney have kept their relationship largely private since they started dating in May 2021 after the Baby J standup’s split from ex-wife Anna Marie Tendler. They welcomed their son, Malcolm, in November 2021.
While the couple has occasionally shared glimpses of their life as a family of three, they have mostly kept things private.
Munn opened up significantly when she disclosed her diagnosis of stage 1 aggressive Luminal B breast cancer in both breasts in April 2023.
“I mean, honestly, I just thought of my baby,” Munn said during a May appearance on *Good Morning America* about receiving the diagnosis.
“You know, cancer is the word you don’t want to hear. There are a lot of things you feel like you can beat, but cancer takes down a lot of people. And I just thought about my baby.”
Munn revealed that her doctors advised her to be “extremely aggressive” with her treatment and stressed the urgency of “making some really big decisions.” She underwent a double mastectomy just 30 days after her diagnosis.
Munn said Mulaney had been a pillar of support throughout her cancer journey.
“He’s honestly just the best human being. He approaches everything in life with so much compassion and understanding,” she said, noting that he even managed to find humor in the darkest moments.
“But the one problem is that he makes me laugh so much that there are times I’m like, ‘You have to leave the room. You’re going to make me angry now because… I’m going to, you know, literally pop a stitch.'”
