New couple? Comedian and actor John Mulaney has reportedly started a new relationship with a Hollywood actress. On Thursday People claimed the 38-year-old star – who recently completely a two month stint in rehab for cocaine and alcohol – is now dating 40-year-old Newsroom star Olivia Munn.
DailyMail.com has reached out to their reps for comment.
A source told the site the alleged romance with Munn is in the early stages. ‘This is very new, they’re taking it slowly,’ the insider said. ‘They met at church in Los Angeles.’
The two have been friends for a while, it was claimed, and she encouraged him to keep his chin up during rehab.

The comedian entered a 60-day treatment program last year for cocaine and alcohol abuse, and was in outpatient services in February.
This is not the first star Olivia has romanced: from 2012 to 2014 she was with actor Joel Kinnaman and from 2014 to March 2017 she dated football player Aaron Rodgers.
Anna Marie announced on Monday that he is divorcing her: ‘I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage. I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery.’

Sources told the publication that Mulaney ‘asked for a divorce from Tendler three months ago.’
The comedian’s bizarre appearance on NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers in early November featured a rambling bit about the UK’s royal family that was delivered while he was ‘out of his mind on substances,’ according to Page Six.
Although the clip was filmed in early November, it wasn’t shared online until Nov. 24, and it doesn’t appear to have been aired on TV, possibly due to Mulaney’s demeanor.
Warning signs: John Mulaney, 38, raised concerns among friends and fans following a bizarre early November appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers before he entered rehab
He updated Meyers with a segment titled Royal Watch: News from the Real-Life Crown, in which he joked about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle being annoyed that the ongoing pandemic had decreased the attention they got from their decision to ‘step back as “senior” members’ of the royal family.
Mulaney joked that Prince Harry was ‘the real dunce of this fairytale … You dumb ginger, don’t leave your title just because you don’t like your 94-year-old grandma.’
‘That’s the definition of something you wait out, gangsta. I am pretty sure father time is going to sort out the case of the very old bummer woman who had 30 months to live,’ he joked, before adding, ‘Ahh, too mean.’
A source told the post that Mulaney was ‘out of his mind’ on substances during the segment, which raised concerns about his health.
The comedian’s representatives haven’t commented about the segment.
