John Mulaney Celebrates Sobriety & Dad Life With 'Fun Companion'

John Mulaney is loving his new life as a dad.

The comedian and actress Olivia Munn welcomed their first child together back in November 2021.

Both Munn and Mulaney announced the birth of their son, Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney, on December 24.

The former ‘SNL’ writer took to Instagram writing, “Meet Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney. He has his whole life ahead of him. He hasn’t even tried seltzer yet. I’m very in love with him and his whole deal. Happy Holidays.”

Munn also took to the social platform to announce the arrival of her “Golden Ox” writing, “My Golden Ox baby. Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney. Happy Holidays. ❤️?.”

Munn reportedly delivered Malcolm on November 24, 2021, a day before Thanksgiving.

The couple has not been shy about doting on their little one and posting photos of him on social media.

On Monday, January 24, Mulaney took to IG to post a two-month birthday tribute to his “tiny man.”

“Happy Birthday to the tiny man who has been stuck to me for two months. Whoever you are sir, you sure are a fun companion,” he wrote alongside a carousel of photos.

In every photo, Malcolm is in fact “stuck” to Mulaney in a baby body carrier.

Fatherhood looks great on the comedian, who is coming up on the one-year-anniversary of his completion of rehab.

The Blast previously reported on the actor/comedian checking himself into rehab in December 2020 after relapsing on cocaine and alcohol.

Mulaney stayed at a rehab facility in Pennsylvania from December 2020 to February 2021.

Upon checking out, a source told Page Six the actor was “doing well” and continuing to work on his sobriety as an outpatient.

“John has completed 60 days in rehab and now he’s in outpatient sober care,” the source told the outlet at the time of his rehab departure. “He is doing well, although he is still not ready to return to work.”

Upon getting out of rehab, Mulaney filed to legally separate from his estranged wife, Anne Marie Tendler, last May.

News of their separation was confirmed by their reps to Page Six on May 10, 2021.

From Tendler’s statement, it appears it was Mulaney who wanted to end the marriage and separate.

Her statement said, “I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage. I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery."

A rep for Mulaney also confirmed the divorce to Page Six saying, “John will not have any further comment as he continues to focus on his recovery and getting back to work."

Soon after these public statements, rumors of Mulaney and Munn striking up a romantic relationship spread like wildfire.

The two were spotted out publicly on multiple occasions.

The pair were spotted out to lunch at Rick’s Drive In & Out in Los Angeles, then on Tuesday, June 29, Munn was spotted leaving his home in the early morning hours.

Knowing what we know now, the two were having some fun in between the sheets early on in their relationship.

Munn confirmed she was pregnant in September 2021.

During an appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on September 7, the comedian told the show host, “I went to rehab in September, I got out in October, I moved out of my home from my ex-wife. Then, in the spring I went to Los Angeles and met and started to date a wonderful woman named Olivia.”

He continued gushing about his new lady to Seth Meyers telling him, “I got into this relationship that’s been really beautiful with someone incredible.” That’s when HE dropped the bombshell.

“And we’re having a baby together,” the dad-to-be said.

Now, his better half is weighing in on the happy news.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Munn detailed how people around her have reacted to the news.

“I’m feeling really good and just the outpouring of love and support has been really amazing. There has been a really big mom tribe that comes up,” the actress said. “There’s a really great dad tribe too, everyone who comes up is really supportive and it means so much to me.”

She told the outlet she may want to be surprised by the sex of her little one, but that information has not been revealed.

Munn joined a handful of celebrity moms expecting babies in 2022 like Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence and Ashley Graham.
