Olivia Munn is getting candid about the timeline of her and John Mulaney’s romance.

After the pair met in 2013 at Seth Meyers’ wedding, Munn, 44, and Mulaney, 42, reconnected in early 2021. At the time, Mulaney had completed rehab and was looking for a place to live in New York, which led Munn to refer him to a friend. (Mulaney, who had been sober since 2005, checked himself into rehab in 2020 for alcoholism and cocaine addiction.)

Munn’s relationship with Mulaney was “brief,” GQ wrote in a profile of the comedian on Tuesday, November 12. The outlet reported that the idea of Munn and Mulaney dating was “never true” — instead, they were having a baby.

“It wasn’t anything close to ‘dating,’” Munn told the outlet. “I barely knew him.”

When Munn told Mulaney she was pregnant, he was enthusiastic about having a child. “It wasn’t necessarily, ‘We’re going to be married and live together’ or any of that, but it was, ‘I will be involved in some way,’” Munn, who thought the pair would simply coparent, said.

During Munn’s pregnancy with the couple’s first child, the actress lived in Los Angeles while Mulaney was in New York. The pair would speak every few weeks or he would travel to see her. Two months before their son was born, Munn and Mulaney decided to try raising their future child as a couple.

The twosome welcomed son Malcolm in November 2021. “She and John are both very in love with their baby boy,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2022. “All seems to be going great with John. … It’s an exciting time.”

Less than three years after welcoming Malcolm, Munn and Mulaney tied the knot in July. The comedian confirmed the news during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, gushing, “I got married. Thanks a lot. It’s the best.” Mulaney called the moment the “greatest single time in my life.”

In September, they welcomed their second child, daughter Méi, via surrogate. “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,” Munn, who previously had a hysterectomy following her breast cancer battle, wrote via Instagram. “She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel. Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true.”
