Olivia Munn says her mom lied about her nickname, which led to her daughter’s middle name.

Overview

  • Olivia Munn and John Mulaney welcomed their daughter, Méi June, via gestational surrogacy in September 2024 after Munn's breast cancer recovery.
  • The couple selected 'June' as Méi's middle name to honor Munn's mother, Dung Kim Munn, based on her claim that it was her Americanized nickname.
  • Munn later discovered her mother had fabricated the nickname, which was only briefly used by two women in 1987.
  • Despite the revelation, Munn and Mulaney decided to keep their daughter's middle name as June, embracing the humor of the situation.
  • The story, first shared during Munn's May 12, 2025 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, has since gained widespread attention.
