John Mulaney and Olivia Munn have tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in New York, marking a new phase in their steamy romance.
The private affair appeared to be a closely guarded secret, as only their two-year-old son Malcolm Hiệp and a witness were in attendance.
The couple's wedding comes four months after Olivua Munn shared that she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a hysterectomy in April.
Olivia Munn And John Mulaney Are Married
According to People magazine, the "Saturday Night Live" alum and the "X-Men: Apocalypse" actress married in New York over the weekend. The ceremony was low-key, held in a friend's home in the Big Apple, and only their son and a witness were in attendance.
The pair first sparked dating rumors in 2021 after the comedian split from Anna Marie Tendler, whom he had been married to for six years.
They confirmed their relationship months later, with Mulaney announcing in a September appearance on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" that they were expecting their first child together.
"I packed a lot into this … is it September now?" Mulaney shared. "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, "I got into this relationship that's been really beautiful with someone incredible. And we're having a baby together. I was nervous when I was about to say the news!"
The couple welcomed their son in December of that same year.
Olivia Munn And John Mulaney First Met At Seth Meyer's Wedding
During a 2015 interview with HuffPost, Munn opened up on how she first met Mulaney.
"We were at a wedding together and I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, do you and your fiancè (Anna Marie Tendler) want to go have dinner or something and go hang out?" she said.
Munn continued, "At first, it was cool and then I kept going up to him at the wedding like, 'So you having fun?' I was just so obsessed with hanging out with and talking with him."
The 44-year-old actress disclosed that she sent Mulaney an email after the wedding but never heard back from him. At the time, she added, "I might've got the wrong email, probably. That's what I tell myself, at least."
In his September 2021 appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," Mulaney revealed that he initially met Munn at Meyers and his wife, Alexi Ashe's wedding ceremony in July 2013.
Olivia Munn Was Diagnosed With Cancer
The couple's union comes months after the "Mortdecai" actress announced that she received a "terrifying" breast cancer diagnosis last year after tests revealed she had luminal B in both breasts. Munn subsequently had to undergo four surgeries, a double mastectomy, and a medically induced menopause.
"I was not someone who obsessed over death or was afraid of it in any way," she told People at the time. "But having a little baby at home made everything much more terrifying."
"You realize cancer doesn't care who you are; it doesn't care if you have a baby or if you don't have time," she shared. "It comes at you, and you have no choice but to face it head-on."
Olivia Munn Praises John Mulaney For Standing By Her
Munn was full of praise for Mulaney, revealing that he was always present throughout her procedures and recovery period.
"It would've felt like climbing an iceberg without him," she told People Magazine. "I don't think he had a moment to himself, between being an incredibly hands-on father and going to and from the hospital— taking Malcolm to the park, putting him to nap, driving to Cedars-Sinai, hanging out with me, going home, putting Malcolm to bed, coming back to me. And he did it all happily."
She went on, "It's the best except when you're just out of surgery and it hurts to move or even laugh. I made him leave the room a few times because he would make me laugh too hard."
Olivia Munn Says John Mulaney Spent 'Nights Researching' About Every Operation'
Writing about Mulaney's support during her cancer battle on Instagram, Munn said he's been there for her through it all.
She shared, "I'm so thankful to John for the nights he spent researching what every operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect."
Munn wrapped up the appreciation message for Mulaney by thanking him for being present.
The actress added, "For being there before I went into each surgery and being there when I woke up, always placing framed photos of our little boy Malcolm so it would be the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes."
