Overview

• Munn was diagnosed with hormone-sensitive breast cancer in April 2023 and underwent a lymph node dissection, double mastectomy and hysterectomy after completing an IVF cycle that yielded two female embryos.
• In September 2024, she and husband John Mulaney welcomed daughter Méi via a carefully chosen surrogate, a process that Munn says made her feel like an "expectant father."
• Munn’s anxieties about whether Méi would recognize her vanished after birth when Méi would only settle in her arms, affirming their maternal bond.
• She credits the emotional journey—from surgical menopause preparations to postpartum bonding—for revealing strengths she didn’t know she had.
• Now balancing family life with a return to filming, Munn and Mulaney say they are still talking about using their remaining frozen embryo for a third child.
