On girlfriend Olivia Munn's 43rd birthday, John Mulaney expressed his heartfelt affection with an endearing tribute. "Thank you for a year filled with laughter, youthful parenting, and the constant quest for your glasses (hint: they're on your lap)," he wrote in a caption accompanying a photo on his Instagram Story, shared on Monday, July 3. "Happy birthday, my dear."

John Mulaney, aged 40, delightedly posted a photo on social media featuring himself, Olivia Munn, and their adorable 20-month-old son, Malcolm. This heartwarming picture was captured by a serene lake with majestic mountains as the breathtaking backdrop. Accompanied by the timeless melody of Alabama's 1992 song "I'm in a Hurry (And Don't Know Why)," this cherished family moment was truly captured.

Just weeks after Mulaney's Father's Day tribute to Munn, wherein he expressed his eternal gratitude for making him a dad, a post surfaced confirming their relationship in May 2021. This announcement came in the same month that Mulaney announced his separation from Anna Marie Tendler, with whom he was married for six years. Their divorce was officially concluded in January 2022. In September 2021, Mulaney revealed that he and Munn were expecting a baby together.

John Mulaney shared exciting news during his appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. He announced that he had an amazing woman named Olivia in his life, and they have started dating. Even more thrilling, they are now expecting a baby together.

During his appearance on Late Night, Mulaney expressed that his love for Munn and his newfound role as a father played a significant role in his ongoing sobriety journey. In December 2020, he sought treatment for alcohol and drug addiction at a rehab center in Pennsylvania, and he successfully completed his program in February 2021. Mulaney acknowledged that Olivia and their baby provided invaluable support and played a crucial part in his recovery process.

Since the start of their whirlwind romance and the arrival of their baby, Malcolm, Munn and Mulaney have been thriving. According to a source in June 2022, Olivia has been incredibly supportive and a pillar of strength for John following his rehab. Becoming a father has profoundly changed John's perspective on life, as he now understands that he has another person to care for. He is determined to be the best dad he can be and prioritize his health and presence for his son.

In a May 2022 episode of the "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" podcast, Mulaney expressed how enlightening it is to witness his son's learning and growth. He likened the experience to watching a movie with someone who has never seen it before, and he is genuinely fascinated by Malcolm. Mulaney finds joy in observing how his son reacts to different sounds, images, lights, and volume levels, particularly when they make him laugh.
