The past year hasn't been easy for Olivia Munn. After being diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, the Newsroom alum, 43, underwent a double mastectomy in May 2023. To ward off a recurrence of the disease, she was prescribed estrogen-suppressing drugs - which Olivia says left her with "next-level, debilitating exhaustion." Worried she was missing out on 2-year-old son Malcolm's childhood, the star opted to get a hysterectomy this April, rather than continue the treatment medications.
"I did have one real moment of panic. A real breakdown," she recently told Vogue. "It's just so strange when you've been with this body your entire life, had your period for so long, feel when you're ovulating, and all of a sudden it's gone."
But now, Olivia's looking forward to brighter days with boyfriend John Mulaney, whose support has been unflinching throughout five total surgeries and the painful recoveries that followed. "They've definitely grown closer because of her cancer battle," shares an insider. "Today, it seems like the hardest part is behind them. John and Olivia are taking it day by day, but they're also starting to make some exciting plans for the future. A wedding and expanding their family are both in the cards!"
