The two have welcomed their second baby, their first daughter, via surrogate, months after the Newsroom alum shared her breast cancer battle.
The actress, 44, and her husband John Mulaney, 42, welcomed their second child, a daughter, via gestational surrogate on Sept. 14, the couple announced on Instagram on Sunday, Sept. 22.
“Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon🐉,” Munn captioned an Instagram post featuring a photo of herself sitting on Mulaney’s lap as she held their daughter in a hospital room.
“I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter. When I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother. She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel,” she continued. “Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true.”
Munn concluded her post by sharing the meaning behind her daughter’s name. “I am so proud of my little plum, my little dragon for making the journey to be with us. My heart has exploded,” she wrote, before adding “Méi (pronounced may) means plum in Chinese 梅💜.”
The mom of two rounded out her post with a closeup of baby Méi, a photo of her cradling her daughter as they sat near a large window, and a family photo featuring the new family of four looking out at the ocean.
Mulaney shared a post on his Instagram, as well. The new dad of two wrote, “Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon🐉. We stole so much stuff from the hospital,” he joked, adding, “I love my little girl so much.”
The comedian also noted the correct pronunciation and meaning of his daughter’s name, complete with a purple heart, just like in Munn’s post.
Mulaney shared the photo from the hospital in his carousel, too, but he also added a video of the little one spitting up on his shirt as he burped her.
Olivia and John share several pics in their birth announcement for their baby girl, including this sweet photo of the three in the hospital.
