Olivia Munn Says Not Being Able to Pick Up Son After Mastectomy Was 'One of the Hardest Things’ (Exclusive)


Olivia Munn says not being able to pick up her son Malcolm, 2, after her double mastectomy was "probably one of the most painful things." The actress shares her son with partner John Mulaney.

In this week's cover story, the actress, 43, gives PEOPLE a glimpse into her breast cancer journey, which has included four surgeries, a double mastectomy, and medically induced menopause. But when she returned home three days after her double mastectomy, the star, who is mom to son Malcolm, 2, with partner John Mulaney, 41, was devastated to have to tell her baby (then 1), that she couldn't pick him up. Munn underwent reconstructive surgery early last fall, and in November, began hormone suppression therapy to lower her risk of cancer returning, which has put her into medically induced menopause.
