Olivia Munn and John Mulaney have welcomed a second child via surrogate, the couple announced on Sunday. The birth of their daughter comes after Munn's Breast cancer diagnosis last year.

“Méi June Mulaney was born on September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon,” Munn wrote in a social media post that included photos of her and Mulaney in the hospital and at home with the new baby. She also shared her positive experience with surrogacy.

“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 kindness and understanding that I knew I had found a true angel. Words cannot express my gratitude for protecting our baby for nine months and making our dreams come true,” Munn said. “I am so proud of my little plum, my little dragon, for making the journey to be with us. My heart exploded.”

Munn said her daughter's name is pronounced “May” and means “plum” in Chinese.

Mulaney revealed photos of the newest addition to the family in a similar social media post.

“We stole so much stuff from the hospital,” the comedian's caption read, among other things. “I love my little girl so much.”

Munn and Mulaney had their first child, son Malcolm, in November 2021. In April, she announced in a social media post shared at the time that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer last year and said she had had four surgeries in the past 10 months, including a bilateral mastectomy.

“I hope that by sharing this post, I can help others find comfort, inspiration and support on their own journey,” the 44-year-old actress wrote in the post. Her diagnosis sparked conversations about breast cancer screening, as she said that a risk assessment score many women may not know about it helped her doctors identify the disease.
