John Mulaney and his wife Olivia Munn are now parents to a daughter!

How to Watch

Watch Saturday Night Live Saturdays at 11:30/10:30c on NBC and Peacock, streaming next day on Peacock.

Mulaney and Munn shared a sweet surprise with the world on September 22, when they announced the arrival of their second child, a daughter named  Méi, via gestational surrogate. Mei was born on September 14.

The couple are also parents to a son, 2-year-old Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney.

"Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon🐉," Munn wrote on Instagram, posting a picture of her and Mulaney beaming as they sat in a hospital bed, Munn holding  Méi.

In her post, Munn shared that  Méi was born via surrogate, and expressed her "gratitude" for the woman who was not named. 

"I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter," Munn wrote. "When I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother. 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."
