Olivia Munn, 41, is being totally honest about her ongoing motherhood journey. In a series of posts on her Instagram Story on January 19, The Newsroom alum admitted that “breastfeeding is soooo hard, especially if you have low supply.” She also posted a photo of her dog and wrote, “At least someone is making good use of my breastfeeding pillow.”
She later added in a separate post, “8 weeks in and I’ve taken a million vitamins, countless teas, lozenges, tinctures and worked with two lactation consultants. Breastfeeding. Is. Hard.”
Olivia welcomed her son Malcolm in November 2021 with comedian John Mulaney, 39. After keeping much of her pregnancy a secret, Olivia shared the adorable first photo of their son on Christmas Eve. On January 10, Olivia posted a sweet photo of John holding his son. “The smooshiest smoosh,” she captioned the cute Instagram photo.
In November 2021, Olivia admitted that she didn’t feel prepared for motherhood. “No, I’m not prepared,” she said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “A lot comes at me and I don’t really know what to take in.”

I was nervous when I was about to say the news!” He added, “Olivia and this baby have helped save me from myself in this early journey out of recovery.”
