Olivia Munn’s last few years have been filled with a lot of ups and downs. She met John Mulaney, fell in love, had a son with him, and they got married earlier this year.
Those are the ups, the downs are that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and opted to have a hysterectomy. That made her ability to carry another child.
However, that doesn’t mean that they could not have another. Today, the newlyweds revealed that they welcomed a second child via surrogate.
The actress wrote. “Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon
“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. 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.”
The Mulaneys are also the proud parents of Malcolm, who turns 3 in November.
Olivia Munn has been keeping a secret for almost a year. She was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is sharing her story now, hoping it can help someone else.
In February 2023, the 43-year-old actress went to the doctor’s office and got tested for 90 different cancer genes, and they all came back negative. She even went in for a mammogram, which did not show anything,
But two months later, a doctor told her she had an aggressive form of breast cancer.
“I wouldn’t have found my cancer for another year at my next scheduled mammogram – except that my OBGYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, decided to calculate my Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. The fact that she did saved my life,” she wrote. “Dr. Aliabadi looked at factors like my age, familial breast cancer history, and the fact that I had my first child after the age of 30. She discovered my lifetime risk was at 37%. Because of that score I was sent to get an MRI, which led to an ultrasound, which then led to a biopsy. The biopsy showed I had Luminal B cancer in both breasts. Luminal B is an aggressive, fast-moving cancer.”
Because of that, she opted to get a double mastectomy. Since that day, she had three more surgeries. And she is getting stronger every day.
And she is grateful to be alive. “I’m lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options,” the actress said. “I want the same for any woman who might have to face this one day. Ask your doctor to calculate your Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. Dr. Aliabadi says that If the number is greater than 20%, you need annual mammograms and breast MRIs starting at age 30.”
Talk to your doctors because that conversation could save your life like it saved hers.
Being a celebrity these days means you have to post the most perfect glam shots. No one is perfect even though they pretend to be on Instagram.
Olivia Munn got real and posted three of her failed attempts at those glamorous shot. To me, she looks better here than in all of the flawless pictures. I like seeing the real person because none of us are as immaculate as we think we are.
Olivia Munn wanted to be Oceans 8, the female version of Oceans 11, so much that she was willing to do anything. Well maybe not that thing she claimed to do with Brett Ratner, but she opted to put her money wear her mouth is. When Entertainment Weekly Radio asked her about being in the new Oceans movie, she told them she only had a cameo in it. Then she revealed, “It actually cost me money to be part of Ocean’s Eight…I paid a lot of money to have to basically spread the word that I’m not in Ocean’s Eight.” Then she explained what happened when the producers called her about the part, “They’re like do your own glam and I got the dress and all that and then you submit the bills for it because I’m part of your movie. And then they’re like, ‘Oh no, the bills come right back to you.’” Then she told the host that she is excited to do the junket, as payback, for the film she is looking forward to seeing completed. Little does she know she is going to have to pay for her hotel room and food. At least I am assuming that.
BTW now it looks like we know how Kim Kardashian got her part in the movie, she had to pay for it too. Hopefully, more than Munn.
When it comes to Oceans 8, how much do you want to bet it stinks more than the ocean on a hot summer day.
Before Olivia Munn was a serious journalist in Newsroom, she was a giddy teenager in Scarecrow Gone Wild. She looks the same now as she did when she was 23 in that 2004 movie.
