Olivia Munn and John Mulaney announce the birth of their second child, born via surrogate — amid the actress’ battle with breast cancer

Olivia Munn and John Mulaney have welcomed their second child, a daughter born via surrogate.

The couple announced the birth of Méi June Mulaney on their Instagram accounts on Sunday with photos of the newborn.

“May June Mulaney was born on September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon,” Olivia, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, captioned the post.

“I had so many deep emotions about not being able to carry my daughter. When I first met our surrogate, we spoke mother to mother. She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a true angel. Words cannot express my gratitude for keeping our baby safe for 9 months and making our dreams come true.

“I am so proud of my little plum, my little dragon, for making the journey to be with us. My heart has exploded. Méi (pronounced mei) means plum in Chinese.”

Mulaney announced her arrival with a post of his own, sharing identical photos and an adorable video of him burping the newborn as she rests against his shoulder.

“May June Mulaney was born on September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon,” he captioned the post.

‘We stole so much stuff from the hospital. I love my little girl so much.

‘Méi (pronounced mei) means plum in Chinese.’

The couple now have two children: besides baby Méi, they also have a two-year-old son Malcolm.

The adorable photos they shared also included a snap of Malcolm dressed in a rocket suit as his mother pampered him, and his father holding Méi as he enjoyed the view of the waterfront.

Olivia and John started dating in 2021 and got married last summer in an intimate ceremony.

Olivia announced in March of this year that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023. Since then, she has undergone four surgeries, including a double mastectomy, which left her in a medically induced menopause.

She previously revealed that she had frozen her eggs and had eggs retrieved in the hopes of expanding her family with John.

In an exclusive interview with Good Morning America’s Michael Strahan, the X-Men: Apocalypse actress confirmed that she decided to have a round of egg retrieval because she and John “weren’t done expanding our family.”

“John and I talked about it. I had a round of egg retrievals right after the double mastectomy. It’s scary because I have hormone-dependent cancer, so I knew there was a risk,” Olivia explained to Michael, whose daughter Isabella was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in October 2023.

‘Our doctor said, “Look, we’re going to get one for you and then we’ll call you.” And then the doctor called and he said, “Hey, we got the results back, they’re two healthy embryos.” We both started crying.

Olivia announced in March of this year that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023 and has since undergone four surgeries, including a double mastectomy, the treatment of which put her into medically induced menopause.

“I really hope we can have another baby. We just want one more. I’m not going to ask for too much more in this life, I promise. I just want one more baby,” Olivia said.

Referring to the treatment, the mother of one continued: ‘The hormone suppression therapy is brutal. It gave me an unprecedented level of debilitating exhaustion, I was in bed all day, all day long. My quality of life was so minimal. I couldn’t be there for my baby.’

When Michael asked if Malcolm had “noticed a change” in his mother, Olivia replied, “Yeah. I mean, whenever Malcolm came home, he would run to my bed because he knew I was there.

“That was something he associated with me, that was just too hard for me to take. I had to figure out if there was another option, so I went with the hysterectomy with the oophorectomy. Almost immediately after that, my energy just came back,” she added.
