Olivia Munn Admits Ongoing 'Mom Guilt' Amidst Breast Cancer Journey
Olivia Munn, known for her acting career, shares a heartfelt account of balancing motherhood and a challenging breast cancer diagnosis with her husband, John Mulaney. The actress, mother of two-year-old son Malcolm and newborn daughter Méi, continues to navigate feelings of guilt related to her prolonged illness and absence from maternal duties, PEOPLE reported.
Diagnosed with a fast-moving luminal B bilateral breast cancer in April 2023, Munn has undergone significant medical treatment, completing five surgeries including a lymph node dissection, double mastectomy, and hysterectomy. On October 23, during an impactful SKIMS campaign, she openly displayed her surgical scars in a live interview with Savannah Guthrie on the Today Show, reflecting on her journey while contending with the challenges of parenting young children during her recovery.
The Mulaney family welcomed daughter Méi June just last month via surrogate. Munn candidly discusses her lingering feelings of guilt over being restricted physically and emotionally due to the grueling treatments which often confined her to bed and limited her role in everyday parenting activities, such as playground outings.
Despite these hardships, Munn focuses on appreciation, cherishing moments with her tight-knit family. She's actively working with her oncologist to optimize her health amidst cancer treatments. Her narrative echoes gratitude and resilience, inspiring as she lauds her husband, John Mulaney, for being an exceptional partner and father, striving together to navigate family life and maintain joyous memories, despite her persistent fatigue.
