Comedian John Mulaney has officially confirmed the news that he and actress Olivia Munn have tied the knot. Rumours had been circulating earlier this summer about the couple’s secret wedding, and now Mulaney himself has put the speculation to rest. The comedian revealed the big news during his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, giving fans a glimpse into his new life as a married man.
“I got married. Thanks a lot. It’s the best,” Mulaney said, beaming as he shared the news with Meyers and the audience. The moment was made even more special when Mulaney revealed that his mother-in-law, Kim Schmid, was in the crowd. The camera panned to her, affectionately referred to by Mulaney as “Ms. Kim,” who waved enthusiastically. It was a heartwarming moment that underlined just how much family means to the couple.
Mulaney didn’t just stop at the announcement. He delved into what his marriage to Olivia Munn has meant to him, describing it as “the greatest single time in my life.” It’s clear that this new chapter is something he’s cherishing deeply. The couple, who share a two-year-old son named Malcolm, have been together for a few years now, and Mulaney’s joy was palpable as he talked about the bond they’ve formed not just as a couple, but as a family.
“I’ve been in a lot of interesting situations…marrying into a large Vietnamese family is one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. They’re the best, man,” Mulaney shared, reflecting on his experience becoming part of Munn’s extended family. His comments were filled with affection and admiration, as he recounted the lively and welcoming nature of his new family members. Mulaney’s comedic instincts were on full display when he joked about how he would never do an impression of them, as that would be a “career ender.”
The conversation with Meyers highlighted Mulaney’s unique experience of navigating cultural differences within his new family. He humorously contrasted his own background with that of his wife’s, explaining, “My family is white, Caucasian…so we’re uptight about a lot of topics. Money, health…almost everything is taboo.” In contrast, he noted that the Luong family, which Munn is a part of, has a much more direct and open approach to conversation. “They talk about anything immediately upon meeting you. ‘How much money you have?’ ‘Why you so skinny?’” Mulaney quipped, illustrating the cultural differences with his signature wit.
It’s this blend of humour and honesty that has made Mulaney such a beloved figure in comedy. His ability to find the funny in the everyday and the deeply personal is what resonates with so many of his fans. And in talking about his marriage, Mulaney offered a relatable glimpse into the joys and challenges of blending two families and two different cultural backgrounds.
Mulaney and Munn’s relationship has been in the public eye since they first started dating, and their journey has been closely followed by fans and the media alike. The couple’s decision to marry in a small, private ceremony reflects their desire to keep certain aspects of their life intimate and personal, even as they navigate the spotlight.
As the couple embarks on this new chapter, Mulaney’s reflections on marriage and family life reveal a man who is deeply appreciative of the love and support he’s found with Munn and her family. His humour, as always, adds a light-hearted touch to his reflections, making it clear that while marriage is a serious commitment, it’s also a source of endless joy and, of course, comedic material.
For fans of Mulaney, this confirmation of his marriage to Olivia Munn is not just news; it’s a celebration of love, family, and the ways in which life’s most significant moments can also be its funniest.
