Olivia Munn and John Mulaney are having a baby together, four months after John confirmed his split from his wife Anna Marie Tendler.
The comedian confirmed that Olivia, 41, is pregnant with their first child during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Seth said to John: ‘You’ve had a year’, with the 39-year-old replying: ‘I packed a lot into this… Is it September now? I went to rehab in September, I got out in October, I moved out of my home from my ex-wife…
‘Then in the spring I went to Los Angeles and met and started to date a wonderful woman named Olivia.
‘I got into this relationship that’s been really beautiful with someone incredible. And we’re having a baby together. I was nervous when I was about to say the news!’
While thanking Seth for having him on the show, John said, ‘Olivia and this baby have helped save me from myself in this early journey out of recovery.’
Rumours began circulating this month that The Newsroom star Olivia was expecting as pictures emerged showing her appearing to have a bump under baggy clothing.

The stars had yet to confirm they were even dating, after speculation went wild back in May that they were seeing each other.
Rumours emerged that John met Olivia ‘at church in Los Angeles’, but that they had known each other for years.
In 2015, Olivia heaped praise on the comedian, saying she had met John and his then-fiancee Anna Marie at a wedding.
She told HuffPost Live: ‘I was like, “Oh my gosh, do you and your fiancé want to go have dinner or something and go hang out?” I was just so obsessed with hanging out with and talking with him.’
Then in December 2020, when it was reported that John was entering rehab for drug addiction, the actress tweeted: ‘Sending SO MUCH love and support to John Mulaney. You got this.’

The rumours began just days after it was confirmed that John had split from his wife of six years Anna Marie, shortly after the comic completed rehab treatment for alcohol and cocaine addiction.
Make-up artist Anna Marie, 36, said: ‘I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage. I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery.’
The pair got married in 2014, and four years earlier, Anna Marie had ‘predicted’ that they would tie the knot.
