Olivia Munn, who is soon expecting her first child with comedian John Mulaney, recently shared how unnerving the public conversation about her pregnancy has been in addition to an already-anxious experience.
“[People were] talking about it and leaking it out there before I’m ready to talk about it,” Munn said in a recent interview.
She went on to explain how this lack of control only adds to the fear of bringing a child into the world, saying: “What if I lose the baby, then it’s already been out there that I have it before I was ready to tell that information. Now I have to live with this. And the stress of that just compounded everything.”
Munn also shared how having an autoimmune disorder and being 41-years-old is already a stressful enough context but that it doesn’t take away from her dedication to motherhood.
“There’s a lot of fear,” she admitted. “And you want to do everything you can to protect your baby.”
