If you haven't heard, my favorite stand-up comedian, John Mulaney, and the actress who I can for some reason only remember as Nick Miller's stripper girlfriend in "New Girl", Olivia Munn, are having a baby together...
...and I can't imagine anyone being more thrilled than the infamous realtor from John Mulaney's stand-up special, "The Comeback Kid."
After Olivia was spotted out and about looking like any normal person after a good pizza, it only took a few days for the couple to confirm what everyone was already speculating.
On Tuesday night, during an appearance on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," John Mulaney shared the news, saying "We're both really, really happy... Olivia and this baby have helped save me from myself in this early journey of recovery." If you'll recall, John completed treatment at a rehab facility early this year after relapsing on drug-related issues last fall.
You can watch the full interview here: This past spring, after weeks of dating rumors, the couple were spotted together for the first time in Los Angeles, at what appeared to be a hilarious and not-at-all-publicly-staged lunch:
Despite being a relatively new couple, the two first met at Seth Meyer's wedding in September 2013 and have remained friendly since. Olivia even shared public support for John when the news broke that he'd entered rehab last year:
They didn't share when the baby is due, but until then, John is currently performing stand-up on his "From Scratch" tour and you can see Olivia in her next film, "Violet", which is set to premiere this week at the Toronto Film Festival and be released later this year.
Like I mentioned, I'm a fan of John Mulaney, and it's good to see that he's healthy and doing well - and, if he's feeling up to it and would like to film a new Netflix special, then that would also be great. (Seriously. I can only recite material from "New In Town" so many times.)
And until then, I'll leave you with this bit from the "Comeback Kid" special that John will probably have to work on over these next few months:
