Olivia Munn and John Mulaney's Quotes About Pregnancy and Parenthood

A new chapter! Although Olivia Munn initially kept her’ pregnancy under wraps, she and John Mulaney have spoken candidly about their growing family since his September 2021 announcement. “We’re having a baby together,” the Saturday Night Live alum told Seth Meyers at the time. “I was nervous when I was about to say the news!” The reveal came four months after Us Weekly confirmed that the actor was dating Munn following his split from Anna Marie Tendler. The former couple had been married for nearly seven years when Mulaney filed for divorce. “I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage,” the artist said in a May statement. “I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery.” As for Munn, the Predator star was last romantically linked to Aaron Rodgers. She and the professional football player dated from 2014 to 2017 before calling it quits. [jwplayer wjBVrFax-zhNYySv2] While awaiting her baby with Mulaney, the Oklahoma native has not been concerned with “settling down in a conventional way,” a source exclusively told Us in October 2021, noting that “becoming a mom was more important” to her. “She's a real feminist and doesn't need a man by her side 24/7,” the insider added at the time. “She never has. She's incredibly picky and John was somebody she definitely wanted to get to know if there was ever a point where they were both single. John is much more of a work in progress than Olivia, but Olivia needed this change to her life. It's been a rough last several years for her where she was stuck in a rut. This changes things up and gives her something to focus on beyond her career and social life.” Another source told Us that the actress’ friends don’t see her and Mulaney still together “in a year’s time,” explaining, “Olivia and John still have to decide what kind of future they’re going to have together, if any. It’s a time of uncertainty, for both of them.” The previous month, an insider called the University of Oklahoma grad “extra sweet and friendly amid her pregnancy,” telling Us that she was in “great spirits” ahead of becoming a mom. “She's very into rescue dogs, having two of her own, and animal adoption, so that translates into her being a hands-on mom,” the source said in September 2021. “She is very health conscious, eats well and takes care of her body, so that is also telling of how her pregnancy will be.” Keep scrolling to read her and the comedian's quotes about their parenthood journey.

No, Thanks

“Our real estate agent wanted us to have a baby more than anyone else in our lives. More than anyone else in our family,” the Big Mouth star joked in his 2015 The Comeback Kid standup special while married to Tendler. “She hinted about it constantly. Every room we'd walk into, she'd be like, 'So this could be an office ... or maybe a nursery.'"

Breaking Her Silence

Munn addressed her pregnancy for the first time in September 2021, telling Access, “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. I’ve heard about it, but they really come up in full force. There’s a really great dad tribe too, everyone comes up is really supportive and it means so much to me.”

She added that her dogs had “no idea” she was pregnant. “I’ve actually been really surprised, people tell me that your dogs can pick up on those kinds of things, but they’ve been walking over my stomach,” Munn told the outlet. “They don’t care.”

Showing Self-Love

“It's just so hard because I will Google search streetwear maternity and a lot of it comes up with these gorgeous women who are super skinny, and have this little bump, and everything is effortless,” the Newsroom alum told Jessica Shaw in October 2021. “They are wearing the same clothes ... and I don't feel the same way. That was the first step in feeling like, 'Oh, if I am not handling maternity well, if I'm not looking chic and cool and effortless, and if my body is changing like this, that means that I'm failing. That means that I'm already not doing things right.’”

Crystal Ball

"I have a friend of mine who said she has a gift of being able to tell you how tall your baby will be,” the former Daily Show With Jon Stewart correspondent told Meyers in October 2021. “She said, 'Do you want to know how tall your baby will be?' So I said, ‘Sure.’ She said, 'OK, how tall are you?' I said, 'I'm 5'5".' She goes, 'OK. How tall is John?’ I said, 'He's six feet.' She goes, 'Hmm. The baby will be six feet.’”

So Much Stress

“I was at a really risky place,” Munn said of her pregnancy during SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show in November 2021. “I have an autoimmune disorder, and I'm 41. There are a lot of elements that come into play when you're pregnant and there's a lot of fear and you want to, like, do everything you can to protect your baby.

Thinking Ahead

In November 2021, Munn told Ellen DeGeneres that she was “not prepared” for motherhood, saying, "A lot comes at me, and I don't really know what to take in. … I want advice from people, but there are a lot of questions about, 'What's your birth plan?’ My birth plan is to follow what the doctor thinks. Then I have people telling me, 'Well, you have to have a birth plan so that you don't just get pushed around by the doctor.' But I'm like, 'The doctor is the one who knows how to deliver a baby. I'd rather have their birth plan than my birth plan.'"

A ‘Great Roadie’

“Malcolm is a great, great roadie,” Mulaney joked about his son accompanying him on tour during a June 2022 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. “Malcolm loves being on tour. He loved Saratoga Springs. He loved the Westin in Buffalo. They had one of those fake fireplaces that's like glowing rocks. And he sat down and goes, 'This is what I'm talking about.' He was so mesmerized.”
