Olivia Munn admits that if she can’t watch the show, then her kids won’t either.

Overview

  • Munn declines to let her children watch Ms. Rachel’s videos or most cartoons because she refuses to endure shows she finds irritating.
  • She and husband John Mulaney refer to both Malcolm and baby Méi as babies to preserve their son’s carefree identity rather than labeling him big brother.
  • The couple ensures equal parental attention by setting Méi down whenever Malcolm seeks them, preventing either child from feeling overlooked.
  • Three-year-old Malcolm delights in teaching his eight-month-old sister to speak, with footage of him prompting her to say “dada.”
  • After enduring postpartum anxiety and a breast cancer diagnosis, Munn finds joy in her children’s antics and relishes their lighthearted interactions.
