John Mulaney and Olivia Munn may have just started dating, but it seems like Munn had her eye fixed on him for years.
A source told People that the new couple “met at church in Los Angeles,” but noted that they “first connected socially several years ago and remained friendly.”
Both attended Seth Meyers’ wedding to wife Alexi Ashe in Martha’s Vineyard in 2013. Munn was there with then-boyfriend Will Forte.
There is even an image of “The Newsroom,” star posing with Ashe in an article Mulaney wrote about the festivities for Vogue.
In a 2015 HuffPost Live interview, Munn talked about being at a wedding with both Mulaney and his now ex-wife Anna Marie Tendler and being “obsessed” with him.
“We were at a wedding together and I was like ‘Oh my gosh, do you and your fiancé want to go have dinner or something and go hang out?” she said.
“At first it was cool, and then I kept going up to him at the wedding like ‘So, you having fun?'” she said. “I was just so obsessed with hanging out with and talking with him.”
Munn added that she emailed the then-engaged comic but he never emailed back. “I might’ve got the wrong email — probably. That’s what I tell myself,” she said.
Looks like he finally responded.
Mulaney and Tendler were married in 2014. Page Six revealed this week that they are splitting, though a source told us that Mulaney, 38, asked for a divorce three months ago.
“I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage,” Tendler said through a spokesperson. “I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery.”
On Thursday, Page Six confirmed via sources that Mulaney is now dating Munn. But how they reportedly “met at a church in LA” was not immediately clear.
Mulaney went to rehab on the West Coast late last year and he returned to New York in February after leaving the facility.
Plus, Mulaney has repeatedly poked fun at his Irish Catholic upbringing in his stand-up shows.
