‘Olivia and this baby have saved me from myself,’ says John Mulaney.
They’re expecting their first kid together four months after their romance was announced.
As part of his appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” Mulaney quietly revealed his pregnancy on Tuesday, along with a few other details regarding his relationship with Munn and his recent drug relapse. He joined the staff of “Late Night” late last year.
After nearly seven years of marriage to artist Anna Marie Tendler, the comic announced his divorce four months ago. He and Munn began dating rumors shortly after their breakup.

In October, I was released. ‘I leave my ex-house,’ wife’s she says. We met and began dating a great woman named Olivia in Los Angeles in the spring. My partner and I are expecting a child together. When I was going to announce the news, I was apprehensive.”

Munn and Mulaney met the first time in October 2013 at Meyers’ wedding to human rights attorney Alexi Ashe, which Mulaney attended.
When Mulaney was gushing over his new lover, he praised the “Gateway” star with holding his “hand through that hell” that was becoming sober.
We were able to save him from his addiction, and Olivia and the baby were able to save him from himself on this early trip out of recovery, he said. This is not a joke. “Thanks a lot, friend.
