How Olivia Munn’s Son Helped Lift Her Up Amid “Rough” Cancer Recovery

The smallest member of Olivia Munn‘s family made the biggest difference in her fight against breast cancer.

THE Writing a former student explained how her 2-year-old son Malcolmwith whom she shares John Mulaney, played an important role in his health journey. Re-posting a video of her and her toddler playing by a backyard kiddie pool, Olivia wrote in an Instagram Story on April 22: “This moment happened last summer , when I had already undergone three surgeries and the recovery, mental and physical, was quite difficult.

“The smallest, silliest moments like this lifted me up every time,” she continued. “My Malcolm.”

In the original caption of the video, which she originally shared in January, Olivia wrote: “If I had known earlier in my life that this magical boy would be in my future, I wouldn’t have worried so much about everything these little things.

Olivia was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, which led her to undergo numerous surgeries in 30 days, including a lymph node dissection and a double mastectomy. Not only did Olivia experience intense pain following the procedures, but not being able to have her son back made her recovery even more difficult.
