Olivia Munn Says She 'Felt Like an Expectant Father' While Waiting for Daughter Méi's Arrival Via Surrogate (Exclusive)

In this week's PEOPLE cover story, Olivia Munn says she felt like an expectant father while waiting for her daughter to arrive via surrogate. The 'Your Friends & Neighbors' star shares daughter Méi, 8 months, and son Malcolm, 3, with husband John Mulaney.

"Even though it all felt very real for me, and our surrogate and I spoke all the time and she'd send me videos, it was a little bit of, 'Oh wait, she's coming,' " Munn continues. After a lymph node dissection, a nipple delay procedure and a double mastectomy, she had a "window" where she could do an egg retrieval before being sent into surgical menopause from having her uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries removed in a hysterectomy with oophorectomy. After the eggs were fertilized, two of the embryos were “strong enough to be tested for abnormalities and the gender,” says Munn, whose heart, along with Mulaney’s, was set on a baby girl.
