John Mulaney claims he is a 'significant financial contributor' to Olivia Munn's 'large Vietnamese family'

John Mulaney has revealed he financially supports wife Olivia Munn's extended family who live in Oklahoma.

The 43-year-old comedian appeared on Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out podcast this week, during which he discussed 45-year-old Munn's large Vietnamese relatives.

'So Olivia has a large – she’s Vietnamese, and she has a large Vietnamese family in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, of which I am one of the significant financial contributors,' he said.

The actor added, 'For the first 39 years of my life, I supported zero Vietnamese people – probably none – and now I have 10 on the books.'

Mulaney and Munn tied the knot in July 2024 after welcoming son Malcom, four, in 2021.

They later had daughter Méi, who was born via surrogate in September 2024. 

Mulaney said he loves helping his wife's family, who are Vietnamese refugees, and noted his parents are economically secure and don't rely on him.

'With parents of some success, you can’t really do anything for them,' he explained. 'And it brings me great joy to help out, to help and do fun things for Olivia’s family.'

Birbiglia went on to ask: 'Are you thinking that when you’re having a nice relationship with them, that in the back of their mind they’re thinking: I wonder if he’ll send me $1,000?'

The Saturday Night Live alum quipped, 'There’s no wonder. In the back of the mind? You mean the front of the voice? The front of the voice – the words coming out of their mouth?'

He added, 'How refreshing, by the way, [having come from] a goddamn white family, [in which we] never talk about money at all.'

Last year, while appearing on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Munn revealed her mother didn't meet her now-husband until after their first child was born.

The stars began dating in 2021, just months before their son was born one day before Thanksgiving.

And her mom, Dung Kim Schmid, met Mulaney when she came to visit the newborn and celebrate the holiday.

Schmid and Mulaney have since developed a close bond.

In a Today With Jenna & Friends interview last year, Munn described her husband and mom as 'besties.'

'John has a list – an actual notepad – of Korean dramas and movies to watch with her and checks them off,' she shared. 'They love it.'

Before welcoming their daughter, Munn opened up to Vogue about her decision to freeze her eggs in hopes of expanding her family with Mulaney.

The X-Men actress revealed that she and the comedian opted for the procedure following her breast cancer diagnosis, as chemotherapy and radiation can affect fertility.

'After my diagnosis, we decided to try one more round of egg retrievals and hoped it was a good month,' she said, divulging that she tried the process on three different occasions — when she was 33, 39 and then at 42.

'John and I talked about it a lot and we don't feel like we're done growing our family, but didn't know if I would have to do chemotherapy or radiation,' she explained.
