Olivia Munn and John Mulaney welcomed their second child via surrogate earlier this month, and shared adorable photos of their newest little addition to social media for the first time on Sunday (September 22).

The Iron Man 2 actress posted four snaps capturing precious moments amid life with her family of four featuring her husband, son Malcolm, 2, and newborn daughter, Méi June Mulaney, brought into the world on September 14, 2024.

"I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter. When I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother. She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel. Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true."

The 44-year-old went on to reveal that Méi actually means "plum" in Chinese, and that she is "so proud of my little plum" for making the journey into her life.

Munn publicly revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in March 2024, sharing that she underwent a double mastectomy (in addition to three other surgeries that left her bedridden for months) after finding out that she had breast cancer in April 2023.

"The Newsroom" alum shared the frightening evolution of her cancer journey in an Instagram post, encouraging women to calculate their "Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score" as without this marker, she may not be alive today.

In fact, the beloved actress cited the desire to grow her family as a reason she's fought so hard over the last couple of years, speaking candidly about her cancer journey in a May 16th episode of Good Morning America.

"John and I had a long talk about it. We realized that we weren't done growing our family." 

Welcome to the world, baby Méi and congratulations Olivia and John!
