Olivia Munn has revealed that she has been privately battling breast cancer since April 2023. Munn said in a statement posted to social media that she has had "four surgeries and more days in bed than I can count" since her diagnosis. Furthermore, Munn revealed that she had chosen to keep her battle private so she could "get through some of the hardest parts before sharing."
Additionally, Munn's statement was one of thanks. She shared gratitude to everyone from her family to her doctors. However, one paragraph was reserved for comedian John Mulaney. Mulaney and Munn share a young son, Malcolm. "I'm so thankful to John for the nights he spent researching what every operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect. For being there before I went into each surgery and being there when I woke up. [He] always placed framed photos of our little boy Malcolm so it would be the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes," Munn wrote.
