"There's no better person in the world to me than my husband," Munn praised Mulaney. "He is - I mean, you've met him. He wanted to come to every single doctor's appointment."

While the 'Newsroom star' was facing the "possibility of death and not being here," Mulaney always tried to take the load away.

"He's got his notebook that he writes all of his ideas for jokes and anything that comes to him through the day," the actress continued.

Munn added, "You know, having the humor to go through it and having someone who is so funny, it really - it just lightens everything."

It is pertinent to mention that John Mulaney and Olivia Munn tied the knot in July 2024 and the pair are parents to son Malcolm and daughter Mei.

Munn announced her bilateral breast cancer diagnosis back in March 2024 on her social media.
