As John Mulaney and Olivia Munn have come to realize, the power of laughter can truly be a source of healing. This dynamic couple, who began their romantic journey in 2021, has experienced a whirlwind of life events that include their marriage and the joy of welcoming two beautiful children—son Malcolm, who is now 3 years old, and daughter Méi, just 2 months old. Alongside these happy milestones, Olivia has bravely faced her battle with breast cancer. Their shared experiences have not only strengthened their relationship but also deepened their understanding of love and resilience during challenging times.

Reflecting on their unique journey, John shared with E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi during GQ‘s Men of the Year party on November 14, “We found ourselves in a pretty wild and a pretty joyful situation.” He emphasized that their last couple of years have been filled with incredible moments, despite the hurdles they faced, such as Olivia’s health challenges and the emotional rollercoaster that came with it. “It’s been a lot of tight and scary moments sometimes,” he admitted, highlighting the seriousness of their experience while celebrating the strength of their relationship.

He continued, “But we were talking the other day that, like in the past couple years, we’ve laughed so much through everything.” John’s sentiment emphasizes the importance of humor and connection during tough times. “I don’t mean to sound corny or overly saccharine, but it’s just been really…we’ve been so tight and had a lot of fun, despite everything.” For those interested in more insights from John, be sure to catch him on E!
