Welcome of Baby Méi June

Olivia Munn and John Mulaney are on cloud nine following the arrival of their second child, a precious daughter named Méi June. The couple welcomed her through a gestational surrogate on September 14, 2024, and announced the delightful news to their fans on Sunday, September 22.

Family Bliss

In a heartfelt statement to PEOPLE, a close source shared, "They are in total bliss with Méi and Malcolm," referring to their 2-year-old son, Malcolm, born on November 24, 2021. The insider also remarked on the strength and closeness of their family, saying, “After everything they have been through, there’s no tighter, closer little family.”

A New Chapter

The excitement of their growing family comes just months after Munn, 44, and Mulaney, 42, exchanged vows in a beautiful, intimate ceremony at a friend's home in New York in July.

Overcoming Challenges

However, the journey to parenthood has not been a simple one for Munn. Earlier this year, she bravely opened up about her “terrifying” breast cancer diagnosis, which she faced in early 2023. After undergoing four surgeries, including a double mastectomy and medically induced menopause, she found strength in her experiences. Using a risk assessment calculator truly helped her manage her health, and she openly discussed how this tool might have saved her life.

A Journey of Healing

Despite the challenges, Munn recently shared on Instagram that she is “doing okay,” reflecting on her arduous journey through procedures like nipple delay and lymph node dissection, as well as the emotional toll they took. In June 2023, she completed egg retrieval, and by September 2023, she underwent breast reconstruction.

Joyful Announcement

Celebrating the joy of life, Munn shared her overwhelming happiness upon the arrival of baby Méi via an Instagram post. In a touching snapshot in a hospital room, the proud mom was seen holding her new daughter while sitting on Mulaney's lap.

Meaning of Méi

"Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon 🐉," Munn wrote, expressing her heartfelt gratitude towards their gestational surrogate, whom she described as a "real-life angel." She added, “Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true.”

The Name Méi

The name Méi holds a special meaning for the family; it translates to "plum" in Chinese— a sentiment that reflects Munn's pride in her daughter. "My heart has exploded," she exclaimed, referring to Méi as her “little plum” and “little dragon” who has completed their family.

Continued Journey
