Following months of speculation, John Mulaney has revealed that he and actress ‘Olivia Munn are dating ‘ — and that they are expecting a child.
“In the spring, I traveled to Los Angeles and met and began seeing a beautiful lady called Olivia – Olivia
Munn,” Mulaney, 39, said on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” Tuesday night.
“And we’re expecting a child together… I’m going to become a father. We’re both very pleased.”
Mulaney and Munn, both 39, are expecting their first child.
The actress previously had a romance with ‘Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers’, which ended
in 2017.
Mulaney has been working through a “difficult period,”
according to Meyers, a longtime friend. ‘Mulaney and his wife’, ‘Anna Marie Tendler’, announced their
divorce in May after 6 years of marriage.
The separation occurred after the comedian, who has previously spoken openly about his problems with
drinking and drug addiction checked in to rehab in September.
Mulaney summarized how he left the rehab center the following month and walked out of the house he
lived in with his “ex-wife” soon before presenting the Halloween edition of “Saturday Night Live.”
“I relapsed back into drugs after that,” he said to Meyers.
“Then I continued to use drugs, and as you remember, you and some other pals staged an intervention.”
Meyers remembered the intervention as “terrible,” he claimed.
“You do such things because you’re concerned for your buddy.”
Mulaney quipped that it was a “‘We Are The World’ of alternative comedians over 40,” including “SNL”
veteran Fred Armisen, although he was unhappy that none of them performed bits.
Mulaney said, “I didn’t want an intervention.”
“At the time, I wanted to continue taking narcotics.
I’m sitting here tonight grateful to you and everyone else for saving my life.
I was not thankful that night.”
He continued, saying: “You people rescued me from drugs, and Olivia and this baby have saved me from
myself and this early stage of recovery.
I’m afraid I don’t have a joke for that. I appreciate all you’ve done for me, friend.”
Mulaney went back to treatment and remained there for two months.
He stayed in sober living for a month and a half before returning to Los Angeles, where he re-met Munn –
the two originally met at Meyers’ wedding to Alexi Ashe in 2013 (“so it’s great that something positive
came out of the wedding,” Mulaney quipped).
Mulaney said of Munn, “She got to meet me straight out of rehab, ‘which is what they called a reversed
catch.
‘But I consider myself very fortunate to have met this lady.
I got into this really lovely relationship with someone amazing ‘who has dealt with the non-coked-up
a version of myself ‘.
That has been wonderful, and she has held my hand through that horror.”
John Mulaney has already spoken up about his prior drug addiction
according to his 2019 Esquire article, he began consuming alcohol ‘ at the age of 13’.
He told the magazine, “I drank for attention.” “At twelve, I was extroverted, and suddenly I wasn’t.
I didn’t know what to do. And then I began drinking, and I was funny all over again.”
He continued, saying: “I’ve never been a fan of marijuana.
Then I tried cocaine and fell in love with it.
I wasn’t a terrific athlete, so it might have been some youthful thing like, ‘This is the physical
accomplishment I can achieve.
‘ I’m still standing after 3 Vicodin and a shot of tequila. ‘Who is the new athlete?’
John Mulaney also said that he stopped using drugs and alcohol when he was twenty-three years old,
without the assistance of a rehabilitation program.
“That weekend, ‘I went on a bender ‘ that was ‘like drifting ‘ in and out’ of a movie ‘,” he said. “‘You’re
(expletive) out of control,’ I said.
‘I don’t like this man anymore,’ I thought to myself. ‘I’m not cheering for him.'”
Mulaney has often made light of his previous drinking problems in stand-up performances. He is
presently on the road with his new stand-up act, “John Mulaney: From Scratch.”
