What Really Happened Between John Mulaney And Ex-Wife Annamarie Tendler?

Annamarie Tendler confirmed it was not her decision to end the marriage and that she was "heartbroken" when John Mulaney filed for divorce.

Back in 2021, when they announced their relationship, the response from both their fanbases was mixed. John Mulaney had only very recently split up with his ex-wife and gotten out of rehab. Plus, the fact that their son was born less than a year after his divorce caused them to receive a lot of backlash.

In late 2020, John Mulaney made the headlines when it was announced he was checking into rehab because of a relapse. The comedian had always been open and candid about his drug abuse, something he has dealt with since he was a teenager, and now seems to be on the other side of it.

Olivia Munn publicly shared her support, in a since-deleted tweet that said "Sending SO MUCH love and support to John Mulaney. You got this." That tweet has since become something of an internet joke that people post about their celebrity crushes.

In May 2021, John Mulaney filed for divorce from his ex-wife Anna Marie Tendler, who was "heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage," but wished him the best in his recovery. The following month, the comedian was spotted with Olivia Munn for the first time, and their relationship was officially announced shortly after, causing some doubts to arise. What solidified this is the fact that, in September that same year, the couple shared that they were expecting a baby together. Their first child, Malcolm, was born in December that year. Of course, this led everyone to assume there was cheating involved, and while we'll never know exactly how John Mulaney's marriage ended, the dates are certainly controversial.

The couple stayed together, despite doubts about the future of their relationship once the baby was born, but have stayed relatively private, only sharing glimpses of their domestic life on Instagram and occasionally being spotted together.

John And Olivia Walked The Red Carpet After Almost Three Years Together

Perhaps due to the mixed responses to the controversial start of the relationship, John and Olivia have held off from publicly appearing together at events for a couple of years. It could also have to do with the fact that they were busy caring for their first child. Judging by their social media posts and the stories they share, they are both very involved parents despite their busy careers. Either way, the fact remains that after almost three years together, the first time they walked the red carpet together was recently, at the 2024 Governors Award. The couple stunned at the event, especially Olivia, who looked breathtaking. She's not usually one for walking the red carpet, so it was a nice surprise for fans.
