John Mulaney on Addiction Recovery and Family

John Mulaney has credited his wife Olivia Munn for significantly aiding his recovery from cocaine and alcohol addiction, particularly through her implementation of random drug tests, providing him with confidence and accountability. Mulaney, who checked into rehab in December 2020, has been open about his journey, noting that there was a time he couldn't function without Klonopin or Xanax. Munn staged a mini-intervention while pregnant with their first child, and they have since married and had two children, Malcolm and Méi June, the latter born via surrogate. Mulaney expressed gratitude for Munn's support during his recovery, describing her as 'incredible' and noting the relief he feels in maintaining his sobriety. Their relationship, which began shortly after his rehab, has evolved with mutual support and commitment to sobriety and family life. Munn's involvement began despite initially knowing Mulaney only briefly, and she has faced her own health challenges, including a breast cancer diagnosis in 2023.
