It took John Mulaney and Olivia Munn a little longer to make their official red carpet debut than it did for the birth of their son, Malcolm Hip, in November 2021, among other significant relationship events.
The comedian, 41, and the Magic Mike actress, 43, performed the “step and repeat” routine at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles for the first time on Tuesday, 14th Annual Governors Awards. Mulaney was attired in a black tuxedo, while Munn was dressed in a crushed fabric skirt and sleeveless top by Toni Maticevski.
But the PDA contained the actual information. The pair — whose coupling drew a lot of attention and opinions at the outset, rendering them a bit press-shy — held hands; he smooched her paw, he tried to make her laugh, and some loving looks were cast back and forth. In conclusion, triumph!
It is somewhat remarkable that they waited this long, considering it has been roughly three years since they first met. Consider how they arrived at the status of red carpet official…
Boy encounters girl at the 2013 wedding of Seth Meyers in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Although Mulaney was in a committed relationship with artist Anna Marie Tendler, with whom he had been involved since 2010, Munn, who attended the nuptials with fellow Saturday Night Live alum Will Forte, reminisced that she was “obsessed” with making his acquaintance there.
The Newsroom actress told HuffPost in 2015, “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, do you and your fiancée want to go have dinner or something and hang out?'” “At first, it was amusing, but then I kept approaching him at the wedding and asking, ‘Are you having a good time?'” “I was completely captivated by the prospect of socializing and conversing with him.” Later, she sent him an email, but he never responded. “I may have received the incorrect email—likely. “I tell myself that is the case.”
Mulaney penned a Vogue article detailing the nuptials, which included an image of Munn embracing the bride, Alexi Ashe.
The following year after Mulaney wed Tendler, Munn initiated a relationship with NFL star Aaron Rodgers.
Munn and Rodgers separated in 2017. She attempts to attract Mulaney’s interest throughout a television special.
As Jon Stewart exited the stage during the HBO taping of Night of Too Many Stars, the former Daily Show correspondent attempted to convince Mulaney to pause and speak with her on camera. “Hello, John,” she said in the film, obviously attempting to woo him, but he paid her no attention.
