The actress shared the snap of her baby daughter Méi on Wednesday, Oct. 2
Olivia Munn is spending time with her baby girl!
On Wednesday, Oct. 2, the actress, 44, shared a snap of herself cuddling her daughter Méi alongside a lengthy caption to honor breast cancer awareness.
“This time last year I was recovering from my fourth surgery and now I’m hanging with my baby girl. 🥹💕,” her caption read as she smiled at the camera while cradling Méi on her shoulder.
Munn, who shares her daughter and son Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney, 2, with husband John Mulaney, 42, added, “Breast Cancer Awareness Month just started. Last year I was diagnosed with bilateral Luminal B breast cancer.”
“There were many people integral to saving my life but it was my OB-GYN @drthaisaliabadi who set me on the path to survival,” she continued. “She used the Tyrer-Cuzick Risk Assessment Test to calculate my risk of getting breast cancer. My high score led me down a road of many tests that resulted in a cancer diagnosis.”
Munn added, “The test is free, online and takes only a few minutes. To take it you can either google ‘Tyrer-Cuzick Test’ or you can go to Dr. Aliabadi’s website SheMD.org (@shemdpodcast) and also get action items on what to do depending on your percentage of risk.”
“To everyone who is battling or has battled cancer, in whatever form, I send you all my love. 🤍🤍🤍,” the X-Men: Apocalypse star concluded.
Munn announced on Sept.22 that she and Mulaney had welcomed their second baby together via gestational surrogate. It came after she spoke in April about her "terrifying" breast cancer diagnosis the previous year — following which she had four surgeries, a double mastectomy and medically induced menopause.
“Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon🐉," the mother of two wrote in her Instagram post alongside a photo of herself sitting on her husband’s lap as she held their daughter in a hospital room.
The carousel also featured a closeup shot of Méi before the newborn was snapped in her mother’s arms as Munn sat on a couch in front of a view of the sky.
"I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter. When I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother,” Munn added in her caption. “ She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel. Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true.”
“I am so proud of my little plum, my little dragon for making the journey to be with us. My heart has exploded,” the proud mom continued. “Méi (pronounced may) means plum in Chinese 梅💜.”
The post then concluded with a photo of the new family of four standing by a barrier in front of the ocean.
