John Mulaney has announced to the world that he’s expecting a baby with Olivia Munn — but not everybody is buying their account of their fairytale romance. The now-sober comic has made a big deal about falling for the actress in the spring — shortly after leaving a stint in rehab for cocaine and alcohol abuse. After plummeting into an intense spiral of addiction, Mulaney,39, spent several months in rehab in 2020, leaving his most recent two-month stay in February, as Page Six reported. Also in February he asked his wife of nearly seven years, Anna Marie Tendler, for a divorce. Mulaney told Seth Meyers on his late-night NBC show Tuesday: «I went to rehab in September, I got out in October, I moved out of my home from my ex-wife,» referencing his split from Tendler. «Then in the spring I went to Los Angeles and met and started to date a wonderful woman named Olivia.» «I got into this relationship that’s been really beautiful with someone incredible,» he added: «And we’re having a baby together.» He said that in fact he first met Munn at Meyers’ wedding in 2013. But this timeline appears to be tenuous. A celebrity agent who has worked with Munn said: «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.» Munn has dated a string of high-profile men including Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Hollywood hunk Chris Pine. «She has a demonstrated history of hanging out with and spending time with ‘SNL’ guys, so no way did their paths not cross, and there is the video of them together back in 2017,» the agent said. Sources who know Tendler, now living on the West Coast, confirmed that Mulaney had actually asked her for a divorce in February and not after leaving his September-through-October rehab stint, as he said. One insider said of a People magazine report that Mulaney and Munn first met at church: «That was BS, and Twitter immediately called Olivia out on it, saying she’s known John for years. «It isn’t entirely clear when their relationship started. There have been rumors for months about her being pregnant, and it all just seems like a very tight timeline.» Indeed, Page Six was first told that Munn was talking openly about her pregnancy in July, as were Mulaney’s friends. He made the announcement of their impending arrival days after we published photos of Munn showing off her bump in LA last week. The Tendler insider said: «Anna Marie knew he was doing things with other women before he went to rehab in December. And his claims to friends that he was trying to protect her before he went away to rehab were rubbish, she didn’t need protecting.
