When did John Mulaney and Olivia Munn start dating?
Mulaney and Munn first met long before they became romantically involved.
During a 2015 interview with HuffPost Live, Munn revealed that they first met at a wedding, where she recalled being “so obsessed,” with spending time with him.
“We were at a wedding together and I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, do you and your fiancée want to go have dinner or something and go hang out?’” Munn shared the following statement at the time. “At first it was cool, and then I kept going up to him at the wedding like, ‘So, you having fun?’ I was just so obsessed with hanging out with and talking with him.”
Following their awkward first encounter, she later revealed that she tried to stay in touch with him after the wedding by sending emails but “he never emailed back.” Munn later joked, “I might’ve got the wrong email—probably. That’s what I tell myself.”
The couple didn’t start dating until May 2021, one month after Mulaney filed for divorce.
Mulaney revealed that he and Munn were together on Tuesday, September 7th during Late Night with Seth Meyers. He also confirmed that they are going to be parents.
“In the spring, I went to Los Angeles, and met and started to date a wonderful woman named Olivia – Olivia Munn.”
He added: “And we’re having a baby together. … I’m going to be a dad. We’re both really, really happy.”
Munn later confirmed the news after showing off her baby bump in her Instagram stories.
John Mulaney divorced.
Mulaney’s divorce was shocking to many. Tendler also admitted she didn’t see it coming.
“I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage,” Tendler stated this in a statement earlier in the year. “I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery.”
At the time, a spokesperson for Mulaney confirmed the news to Page Six but added, “John will not have any further comment as he continues to focus on his recovery and getting back to work.”
During the episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, Mulaney opened up about his struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction, checking into rehab last year.
“I didn’t want an intervention. At that moment in time, I wanted to continue using drugs. Sitting here tonight, I’m so grateful to you and to everyone there for saving my life.”
He added: “You guys saved me from drugs and Olivia and this baby have helped save me from myself and this early journey out of recovery. I don’t have a joke for that. I’m really grateful to you, buddy.”

Why are Anna Marie Tendler fans calling Olivia Munn and home wrecker?
Following Tendler’s emotional statement, fans were quick to jump to her defense claiming that Munn’s “home wrecking” started back when Mulaney was in rehab.
OK! Magazine that, “[Munn] and John had exchanged texts while he was in rehab, and things obviously turned romantic after he got out.”
One user took to Twitter to express her feelings saying, “Not Olivia Munn being a home wrecker… she was also hooking up with Fergie’s ex-husband while they were married and now is in a relationship with John Mulaney who is going thru a divorce and just got out of rehab.”
While another added: “Now I get why people think @oliviamunn is hot, she’s a rebound girl, so easy sex. Also you’re a home wrecker.”
Another Mulaney fan said: “I use to like @mulaney but after finding out he’s hooking up with @oliviamunn after two days of announcing his divorce. I kinda lost respect. That’s super trashy and she’s a home wrecker. What happened to ‘AND I LOVE MY WIFE.'”
