Olivia Munn and her husband, John Mulaney, welcomed their daughter, Méi June Mulaney, in September 2024. Prior to Méi's arrival, Olivia's mom, Dung Kim Munn, mentioned that people call her June as an Americanized version of her name, Dung. This conversation sparked the idea to name their daughter Méi June in honor of Olivia's mom. John Mulaney suggested the name, and Olivia thought it was a great way to pay tribute to her mother. They were excited to share the news with their family after Méi's birth. However, when Dung Kim Munn met her granddaughter for the first time, the excitement turned into confusion.
