Olivia Munn paused cancer treatment to freeze embryos

Olivia Munn froze her eggs before beginning “aggressive” treatment for breast cancer and ultimately undergoing a hysterectomy.

Actress he told Vogue after her diagnosis, she wanted to get “a few more” back to “form one embryo” with her boyfriend, John Mulaney.

“John and I have talked about it a lot and we don’t feel like we’re done growing our family, but we didn’t know if I would have to undergo chemotherapy or radiation,” she explained in an interview published Sunday, the magazine noted that the treatment would trigger menopause in her body and affect future fertility.

Munn, 43, said she held off treatment despite the dangers of pumping herself with hormones to retrieve eggs, hoping for a “good month.”

The risk led to the creation of “two healthy embryos.”

The Newsroom alum, who previously froze eggs at ages 33 and 39, said she and Mulaney, 41, “just started crying” over the good news.

“It was incredibly exciting because not only did we get it in one go, but it also meant I didn’t have to constantly put myself at risk,” she recalls. “It was just amazing.”

Munn and the comedian welcomed son Malcolm in November 2021.

The “Predator” star was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023 and waited until March of the following year to go public with her scare.

She told her Instagram followers about her experience in a lengthy post, detailing her double mastectomy and medically induced menopause.

“I’m lucky,” Munn wrote at the time. “We caught him in such short order that I had a choice.”

Mulaney then honored his partner with an Instagram tribute in which he gushed, “Thank you for fighting so hard to be here for us. Malc and I adore you.”

The duo began dating in 2021, following Mulaney’s divorce from his wife of six years, Anna Marie Tendler.

In September of the same year, the news of Munna’s pregnancy broke.

For her part, Tendler has split from chef Nicholas Tran, Page Six reported in February.
