John Mulaney and Olivia Munn have officially tied the knot, and the comedian proudly debuted his wedding ring at a recent event. The couple, who share a 2-year-old son named Malcolm, made their first red carpet appearance together at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 14th Governors Awards in Los Angeles. Mulaney, 41, looked dapper in an elegant tuxedo, while Munn, 43, stunned in an off-the-shoulder ivory gown with her hair styled down.
As they posed for photographers, Mulaney was seen cheekily leaning over to his new wife, even kissing her hand at one point. The couple held hands and lovingly gazed into each other’s eyes, making their red carpet debut a memorable one. This public appearance comes after a somewhat controversial start to their relationship.
In May 2021, it was revealed that Mulaney had been dating Munn amid his divorce from Anna Marie Tendler, his wife of six years. Tendler expressed her heartbreak over the split, stating through a representative, “I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage. I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery.” Mulaney later claimed on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” that he had moved out of the home he shared with Tendler in October 2020 and began dating Munn in the spring of 2021. He also announced that they were expecting a baby together.
Despite the timeline provided by Mulaney, some insiders were skeptical. A celebrity agent told Page Six in September 2021, “I don’t think it’s any coincidence that John broke the news of Olivia’s pregnancy the way he did in terms of basically giving a timeline of his past few months — when he moved out of his house, how it was the spring when he fell in love with Olivia. It seems to me that he is going to great lengths to dispute the idea that he cheated.”
Tendler, for her part, revealed in an essay for Elle that she suffered from “suicide ideation” leading up to her divorce. She wrote, “When I was hospitalized for depression, self-harm, and severe suicidal ideation in the first two weeks of 2021, the doctors asked me to make a list of my reasons for living. [My dog] Petunia was the one and only thing on that list. … Petunia and I moved to Connecticut in December 2020, in the wake of my severe mental health breakdown and what appeared to be the impending end of my marriage.”
Despite the drama, Mulaney and Munn welcomed their son, Malcolm, in November 2021 and have seemingly been going strong ever since. They often share sweet snaps of their family of three on social media. Mulaney even posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, writing, “You made me a dad, Olivia, I love you forever for doing that.”
The couple’s relationship has been a topic of public speculation, but Munn addressed this in an interview, saying, “They think they know our relationship so well. When in reality, they don’t. There’s no way anyone could know what any of his relationships were or what our relationship is.”
Their recent red carpet debut marks a new chapter in their relationship. The couple attended the 14th Governors Awards, where Mulaney was the host. Munn donned an all-white Maticevski look for the occasion, and the two appeared to be very much in love.
Mulaney and Munn first met at a wedding in 2013. Munn later said that she was “just so obsessed with hanging out with and talking with him” and even asked him and his then-fiancé to “hang out.” She further mentioned that she emailed him after the event, but he never replied. Their paths crossed again in 2021, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The couple has kept their official outings to a minimum, but they often post family photos on Instagram. For example, when Mulaney won an Emmy earlier this week, the couple celebrated in full glam away from the main event. Their red carpet debut suggests that they are ready to share more of their relationship with the public.
In addition to their red carpet debut, the couple recently tied the knot in an intimate ceremony. The “Newsroom” alum and the stand-up comedian reportedly got married at a friend’s home in New York state with their son Malcolm and a witness present. This private ceremony comes after months of speculation about their marital status. Mulaney had sparked marriage rumors when he posted a photo on Father’s Day wearing a silver ring on his left hand, only to delete it shortly after.
Despite the ups and downs, Mulaney and Munn seem to be in a good place. They have navigated public scrutiny, personal challenges, and the joys of parenthood together. Their recent red carpet appearance and wedding ring debut mark a significant milestone in their relationship, signaling a new era for the couple.
