What's going on with John Mulaney and Olivia Munn?
It's Gossip Time!
Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. This week: a comedian and his pregnant girlfriend are on the rocks, a pop star and his girlfriend are definitely broken up, and Vanessa Hudgens and her dog are doing great.
It appears that John Mulaney and Olivia Munn do not have the fairytale romance we all imagined. Two sources wrote into Deuxmoi this week claiming that Munn and Mulaney, who are expecting a baby together any day now, have broken up. Since then, more sources have run to Munn’s favorite tabloid Us Weekly to somewhat contest the breakup but admit that yeah, things aren’t going great. “This has been an imperfect relationship from the start,” a source told the tabloid.
The source added that Munn, 41, and Mulaney, 39, will “make great parents,” but “nobody knows yet if they’re going to do that together or apart.”
Before you start to feel bad for Munn, know that a breakup wouldn’t bother her and she’s actually being really cool about all this. “Becoming a mom was always more important to her than settling down in a conventional way,” another source told Us Weekly. “She’s a real feminist and doesn’t need a man by her side 24/7. She never has.”
That is always what I’ve said about her.
This new narrative is sharply different from the one Mulaney was pushing on his friend Seth Meyers’ show less than two months ago. During an in-studio appearance, Mulaney said his relationship with Munn was “really beautiful,” and that “Olivia and this baby have helped save me from myself in this early journey out of recovery.”
Interestingly enough, Munn herself appeared (remotely) on Meyers’ show last night. She talked about her pregnancy but didn’t mention Mulaney except to say that her friend thinks the baby will be tall because “John” is tall. I guess we'll just have to wait and see (whether Munn and Mulaney stay together and how tall their baby turns out to be).
One couple that is definitely over: Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid. According to People, the 28-year-old pop star and 26-year-old model separated after Malik got into an altercation with Hadid’s mom, former Real Housewife Yolanda Hadid, at the family’s farm in Pennsylvania last month. TMZ broke the story yesterday, and it’s a doozy.
Per TMZ, Malik pled no contest to harassment charges on Wednesday related to the altercation, which occurred on September 29. According to court documents, Malik called Yolanda a “fucking Dutch slut” and told her to “stay away from [my] fucking daughter.” (Malik and Gigi share a 13-month-old daughter, Khai.) He also allegedly said, “the fucking sperm that came out of my fucking cock” during the argument, which is as menacing as it is confusing. (TMZ notes it’s “hard to know why” Malik uttered the phrase.)
At some point, Malik allegedly "shoved [Yolanda] into a dresser causing mental anguish and physical pain." He denies making physical contact.
Gigi was in Paris at the time of the altercation, but according to the court docs, Malik called her and said, “Strap on some fucking balls and defend your partner against your fucking mother in my house.” He also allegedly tried to fight Yolanda’s security guard, screaming, “Get the fuck out of my fucking house, copper.”
Malik attempted to get ahead of the story yesterday by releasing a convoluted Notes app statement on Twitter, calling the alleged incident a “private family matter.” Unfortunately that is no longer the case.
A source identified as a “Hadid family friend” told People last night that Malik and Gigi are over. “They are not together right now,” said the source. “They are both good parents though. They co-parent. Yolanda is of course very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandchild.”
A rep for Gigi told the tabloid, “Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time.” As for Malik, he’s on probation for the next year and will have to complete an anger management class and a domestic violence program.
In unconfirmed and slightly fantastical relationship news, Chris Evans might be dating Selena Gomez. Fans of one and/or both of these stars have been fueling these rumors for a few weeks now, though evidence of a real romance is scant. At first, amateur sleuths claimed on Twitter that the 40-year-old actor and 29-year-old pop star were photographed walking out of the same recording studio on the same day, but the photos are actually from different years. And now, fans on TikTok claim that Gomez’s reflection can be seen in a video Evans posted of himself playing piano on Instagram.
Do you see her?
If Evans really is secretly dating Gomez, and she is spending her days humoring him by recording his middling piano practice, I hope she knows that Evans’ new movie is based on Buzz Lightyear the PERSON, not the toy.
STUFF BY HILARY DUFF: This week, Hilary Duff made a splash in burgundy workout gear as she stepped out for groceries in Beverly Hills.
Finally, I’ll leave you with this photo of Vanessa Hudgens and her dog, Darla:
This delightful shot comes from an Architectural Digest feature on Hudgens’ Los Feliz home, which was previously owned by both Gary Oldman and Cecil B. DeMille’s mistress. It’s cute!
