Taking to her Instagram page, the former TV host posted a reel displaying herself, her partner, John Mulaney, and their one-year-old son, Malcolm, shopping at an Asian supermarket. 

The short clip was set to the tune of Meghan Trainor's song, "Made You Look." The family of three appeared to be having a great time as Munn donned a red-cropped turtleneck knitted long-sleeve sweater with blue flare jeans. 

She paired her outfit, rocking black ankle boots, and wore her brunette hair in a freefall allowing the lengthy hair to cascade down her back. Her son, Malcolm, donned a gray starfish sweater paired with light-colored pants.

Mulaney, on the other hand, looked chilled, dressed in a brown puffer jacket paired with blue jeans. However, the highlight of the video was the moment Munn took her son to the seafood department in the market and showed him different seafood animals ranging from fish to snails.
