This is insane. How does anyone do this?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Olivia also revealed how the adjustments of motherhood led her to a moment of vulnerability. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cWe have the baby, who\u2019s born in September. John was on Broadway. He was rehearsing all day long and then doing his previews at night for two weeks and\u2026 my three-year-old was like hitting his limit.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nThe strain caused some tension at home, especially when her son Malcolm Hi\u1ec7p, 3, began to express jealousy towards his new sister. <\/p>\n<p>\nOlivia added: \u201cIt was like screaming and crying, and like saying things to where my feelings were getting hurt.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI broke down crying \u2013 a cry I have never cried.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nDespite the challenging moment, Olivia said about how it ultimately led to a powerful wake-up: \u201cI was so distraught, but then this realisation, and I said, \u2018God willing, we get to work as much as we are working now forever, and God willing we&#8217;re shifting and jumping around and moving everywhere, and we&#8217;re so lucky\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nShe also said her difficult family moments often ended with laughter, which make it easier for her to cope.<\/p>\n<p>\nOlivia and John, 41, had their son Malcolm in November 2021. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe \u2018X-Men: Apocalypse\u2019 actress, who had a double mastectomy following a breast cancer diagnosis, carried M\u00e9i via surrogate.<\/p>\n<p>\nEarlier this month, the actress posted a heartwarming moment on Instagram of her daughter standing on her own, as she proudly cheered: \u201cGood job!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nIn April 2023, Olivia was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, despite a recent clean mammogram and negative genetic tests. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe underwent a double mastectomy and additional surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress has emphasised the importance of proactive health measures, stating to Time magazine: \u201cI thought, &#8216;Man, there&#8217;s so many women out there just like me. They might have no idea. And it may be too late by the time they find out\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThroughout her illness journey, Olivia advocated for breast cancer awareness, encouraging women to seek comprehensive screenings.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/olivia-munn-compares-pressures-mother-landing-mars-1416200.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 April 2025 Olivia Munn has compared the pressures of being a mother to landing on Mars.
