Olivia Munn admits she found it hard to watch other moms ‘back out’ as she describes her 20-month journey to fit into her favorite pair of jeans again
Nearly two years after giving birth to her son Malcolm, Olivia Munn finally fits into her “pre-baby jeans.”
The actress, 43, showed off her progress on Instagram and spoke candidly about her struggles to accept her body after giving birth.
She modeled the cropped shorts with her back to a mirror in the home she shares with boyfriend John Mulaney, 40.
“It took me a while, but I finally got my pre-baby jeans on. My baby is 20 months old and it has lasted all 20 months,” Munn wrote on Wednesday.
She admitted it was hard to see other moms “snapback” so soon after their pregnancy.

“I looked at other moms who had their snapback within months and wondered why it didn’t happen for me,” Munn continued.
“But I realized it’s just going to be different for me and eventually I’d slowly break it back one day.”
Munn is very grateful for her restored energy.
‘I also have more energy now… that was more important for me to come back. And luckily it’s back,’ she concluded.
Also on Wednesday, Munn had her hair done by celebrity hairstylist Kiley Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald brushed up the actress’s ends and cut some long layers for her for extra body.

Last year, Munn talked about her postpartum journey and how she has “only love” for her body.

She told her Instagram followers, “My body hasn’t come back, but it made this little man so I have nothing but love for it. The road after giving birth is tough, but it’s so worth it.’
Munn welcomed baby Malcolm on November 24, 2021, though the birth wasn’t revealed until December.
She shares her son with her boyfriend, stand-up comedian John Mulaney, 40.
Munn and Mulaney were first seen as a couple in May 2021, shortly after John completed rehab for alcohol and cocaine addiction.
He was also in the process of divorcing his wife of six years, Anna Marie Tendler, 38.
In September 2021, Big Mouth’s voice actor announced Munn’s surprise pregnancy.
Since Malcolm’s arrival, Munn has used social media to document his milestones.
Over the weekend, the Magic Mike star and her family enjoyed a day at the beach.

They learned on the trip that applying sunscreen to a 20-month-old baby is much harder than it looks.
Munn shared their struggles in a series of photos on Instagram, but was able to keep his sense of humor after all was said and done.
It takes two adults to put sunscreen on one toddler. And we didn’t even get it right,” joked the Iron Man 2 star.
“As you can see I’m (very) bad at it,” she wrote on another photo showing their son doused in lotion.
