Olivia Munn’s Life-Altering Decision After Surviving Her Cancer Battle

BBG News

In the years 2023-2024, Olivia Munn fought bilateral breast cancer, an experience that significantly altered her life’s trajectory. To lessen the burden on herself, she chose to implement a major life transformation.

As a lifestyle advocate, I’d say, “Reflecting on the past, I yearned for living in the moment, tackling tasks, and keeping a checklist of accomplishments.” This sentiment was shared with People magazine last night by the 44-year-old actress known for her role as Hit-Monkey.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve found myself streamlining my daily tasks significantly lately. While I adore the chaos that comes with organization, my living space could use a tidy-up – I can’t quite put my finger on whether it’s the aftermath of cancer treatment or the joyful chaos of raising two little ones!

In her current living situation, which some might label as disorderly, Olivia (formerly known as Lisa) is very understanding with herself, sharing this space with her husband John Mulaney and their two children – their three-year-old son Malcolm Hiệp, and five-month-old daughter Méi June, who were both brought into the family through a surrogate.

Munn clarified, “Upon waking, I tend to set achievable targets for myself, rather than aiming for overly ambitious objectives which can leave me feeling inadequate if not met.

‘So I feel successful every day no matter how small it is.’

After completing five surgical procedures, which included a lymph node removal, a double mastectomy, and a hysterectomy, the woman of Vietnamese descent has successfully overcome cancer. However, she continues to explore various treatment options.

‘There are good days and bad days,’ Olivia noted. ‘I’m doing really good today.’

Munn continued to praise her 42-year-old comedian husband, whom she married in July, for his unwavering support during her recent health crisis.

‘He’s just the best,’ the Brett Ratner accuser said.

Our friendship has grown incredibly strong, and it’s become even more unbreakable. Not only do we share the joy of being parents, but also the experience of fighting cancer together has made our bond indestructible.

Olivia went on to say: ‘A person’s true character isn’t revealed until they face a challenge – and for me, nothing has tested me more than discovering I had cancer. Through it all, he has responded with such grace.’

In order to keep John on track towards a successful recovery after his rehab stay in December 2020 for alcohol, cocaine, and prescription drugs, Munn regularly conducts unexpected drug tests.

At Seth Meyers’ 2013 wedding, the three-time Emmy winner found himself married to Anna Marie Tendler. They had first crossed paths there. However, it was not until February 2021, during their church visits in Los Angeles, that they rekindled their connection.

At that moment, the 39-year-old multifaceted artist sought treatment at a psychiatric facility due to self-inflicted wounds and deep depression, experiences she later recounted in her 2024 memoir titled “Men Have Labeled Her Crazy.

In May 2021, following six years of marriage, John and Anna went their separate ways through a legal process known as separation. He initiated the divorce proceedings against Anna in July 2021, and their divorce was legally completed in January 2022.

Olivia had previously romanced Tucker Roberts, Aaron Rodgers, Joel Kinnaman, and Chris Pine.

I miraculously managed to squeeze in my role as Samantha ‘Sam’ Levitt for the nine-episode drama “Your Friends and Neighbors,” created by Jonathan Tropper, which is set to air on Apple TV+ starting April 11. I couldn’t be more excited!

Mulaney’s upcoming talk show Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney premieres March 12 on Netflix.
