Olivia Munn, the talented actress known for her roles in X-Men: Apocalypse and The Newsroom, recently opened up about her future family plans with comedian John Mulaney in a candid interview with Vogue. The 43-year-old actress revealed that she has been battling breast cancer and has taken steps to possibly welcome more children with her partner, John Mulaney, 41.
In the interview, Olivia shared that she has frozen her eggs three times in her life, with varying results. She welcomed her first child, Malcolm, with John in November 2021, but prior to that, she had experienced challenges with her egg freezing attempts. Olivia explained, “It’s interesting because my 33-year-old eggs were great. My 39-year-old eggs? None of them worked.”
Despite the challenges, Olivia and John are hopeful about expanding their family. Olivia shared that after her breast cancer diagnosis, they decided to try one more round of egg retrievals in the hopes of having more children. However, the treatment for breast cancer can have a negative impact on fertility, leading Olivia to consider the option of using a surrogate for future children.
Olivia expressed gratitude for having options in her journey, acknowledging that not everyone has the same opportunities. She emphasized the importance of finding the right surrogate, someone she can trust to carry a child as if it were her own. Olivia’s openness about her fertility journey and her determination to grow her family despite the challenges she faces is truly inspiring.
