Every celeb is pregnant
Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. This week: a comedian confirms a pregnancy, an actress goes to a concert, and Beck has nine Banksys.
Well, it’s confirmed: the comedian John Mulaney and his new-ish girlfriend Olivia Munn are having a baby together. Mulaney shared the happy news during an extended interview with his friend Seth Meyers on Wednesday night, a few days after Page Six published photos of a visibly pregnant Munn walking through an L.A. parking garage in “baggy sweats.” This has really been an incredible rollout.
Rumors about a Munn-Mulaney relationship and pregnancy first surfaced in May, just three days after Mulaney confirmed to Page Six that he was divorcing his wife, Anna Marie Tendler. People got the new-relationship exclusive, with a source making the odd, immediately disprovable claim that Munn, 41, and Mulaney, 39, “met at church in L.A.” A couple months later, People got another exclusive: the first, carefully cropped photo of the couple eating lunch together in public. They were “having a great time,” said a source.
And now, thanks to Mulaney’s late night appearance this week, it’s all out there. The comedian provided a surprisingly detailed timeline of his whereabouts over the last year: He said he first went to rehab for alcohol and cocaine abuse in September, moved out of the house he shared with Tendler in October, relapsed and went back to rehab in December, moved into a sober living facility in February, and then moved to L.A. and started dating Munn sometime in the spring. I mean, sure, who cares. (Obviously a lot of people on Twitter do, but that’s not what this newsletter is about.)
Munn, for her part, has yet to comment on the news. Instead, she did an Instagram Live ad for Petco yesterday. God bless!
Also pregnant: Kylie Jenner. The 24-year-old possible billionaire announced that she is expecting her second child with on-again, off-again boyfriend Travis Scott with a cute little video on Instagram. (Did you notice that she put her thumb over the Clearblue logo on the pregnancy test? Not an ad.)
Then she immediately flew to New York for fashion week, where she has been wearing outfits like this:
According to People, Jenner and Scott are “equally excited” about the pregnancy, which sounds good. Jenner “loves her baby bump and has a gorgeous glow," said a source.
Also also pregnant: Jennifer Lawrence. Of the many announcements this week, hers was the most low key — her publicist simply confirmed the news to People, sans details. (They did time it to come out the same week as the trailer for her new movie with Leo DiCaprio, though.)
Shortly after the People exclusive, J-Law was photographed exhibiting her bump in floral overalls on the way to lunch at Fanelli’s. If you want to know what she ordered, the Daily Mail has multiple close-up shots of her outdoor table.
My best wishes to the babies.
With all this talk about Olivia Munn, I bet you’re thinking, what’s going on with the other Olivia — Olivia Wilde? Well, she still exists, according to sources who talked to People this week. In fact, she’s “setting relationship goals” with her current boyfriend, Harry Styles. Sources told the tabloid that Wilde, 37, and Styles, 27, have had a “quiet, romantic summer” and “seem serious and very happy.”
The impetus for this serious and happy update seems to be the fact that Wilde attended Styles’s concert in Vegas this week. “It was very cute,” an eyewitness told the tabloid. “She was singing along to almost every song and having a good time with the people she was with.”
Almost every song? Which ones do you think she skipped? I don’t know Styles’s oeuvre well enough to say which songs of his are bad, but if you have a guess, feel free to put it in the comments.
STUFF BY HILARY DUFF: Hilary Duff presents: “Da girlies”:
Finally, I’ll leave you with some absolutely cuckoo details from Beck’s divorce. Did you know he has more than 10 houses?
Well, now I guess he just has 10: His ex-wife, Marissa Ribisi (twin sister of Giovanni Ribisi) got the other ones. She will also receive over $32,000 a month in spousal and child support (Beck and Ribisi share two children, Cosimo and Tuesday). Oh, and the couple also found a way to split up their multiple (?) works of art by Banksy — Beck will get four pieces, and Ribisi will get five.
How did Beck get so much money? Scientology is crazy.

I have a weirdo story time about Beck & Marissa Ribisi…it’s not that thrilling but I feel like it speaks volume about their Vibe™️. Years ago I worked at a hotel that celebrities stay at a lot, Beck was doing some shows in town and the whole family stayed. While Marissa was eating dinner with some folks the kids (who were pretty young then) went missing…when she realized they’d vanished she just kinda casually asked around about them and appeared completely unbothered. Like, everything was fine, they weren’t kidnapped and she did find them. But it was very weird to be a part of/witness.
Also now I see they owned a home here which raises even more questions lol
I’m so wrapped up in this saga and I hate it but I still have to point out that Munn & Mulaney did indeed meet at church…the church wedding for Seth Meyers while they were both with other people. Ugh.
