Olivia Munn and John Mulaney are finding it 'a little tough' just ahead of their first anniversary
Olivia Munn and John Mulaney are finding it "a little tough" to spend time together.
The 44-year-old actress is just two months away from her first wedding anniversary with former 'Saturday Night Live' star Joh, 42, but admitted that both of them are so busy with their careers right now that they have had to resort to "stealing little moments" here and there so they can see each other.
She told People: "We'll steal little moments throughout the day to just talk. Or, a lot of times, it's in the car. When I'm driving somewhere, he's driving somewhere, we will just get on the phone and just talk and catch up like that.'
'But it's a little tough right now because we're both so busy.
"I'm filming season two [of 'Your Friends and Neighbors'] and he's doing his Netflix show ['Everybody's Live']. But I think from this moment forward, we stay together as a family.'
The former 'Newsroom' star - who has Malcolm, three, and seven-month-old Mei with John - added that they are both struggling to watch any television that isn't children's programming and cannot remember the last time they watched something that was aimed at adults.
She said: "John said the other day that he hasn't watched anything adult besides my show, now that it's airing, in we don't know how long.
"Because we only watched Daniel Tiger's ['Neighborhood'] at my house. It's only Daniel Tiger, which is an amazing program for kids, but…'
Olivia also noted that she was having a "hard time meditating" as she tried to switch off but then learned the importance of taking just "10 minutes"for herself each day.
She said: "I was having a hard time meditating for a long time, because I know how good it is, and I would kind of roll my eyes at people telling me they're meditating.
"And then someone said to me, 'If you don't have even 10 minutes a day for yourself, then God help you.' And I was like, 'Okay, yeah. I'll make 10 minutes.' So I do that.
"I've been back and forth. I was in New York on Sunday, in LA last night, then a red-eye, stayed back, to New York. And when I got into the house in New York — I brought my kids back to our home in California yesterday — so I came back here today, and it was so nice to walk into an empty house."

Powerful acting helps keep this coastal crime drama from sinking
The Survivors ★★★ Netflix Created by prolific screenwriter/director/producer Tony Ayres, this crime drama is based on the novel of the same name by the equally prolific Jane Harper (The Dry). The story takes place in – you won't believe it – a small town where everyone knows each other's business, and many members of the tight-knit community have long-held secrets. Unlike The Dry though, things are very wet in The Survivors; the setting is the fictional Evelyn Bay, a coastal town in Tasmania where everyone's lives revolve around the water – fishing, diving, tourist sightseeing boats. Kieran Elliot (Charlie Vickers, last seen in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) is returning to Evelyn Bay for the first time 15 years, with his partner Mia (Bridgerton 's Yerin Ha), who also grew up there, and their newborn daughter. They've come to help out Kieran's parents, Brian (Damien Garvey) and Verity (the never less than astounding Robyn Malcolm), who are dealing with Brian's worsening dementia. Verity collects Kieran and Mia from the airport and is passive-aggressive to both of them from the outset. The reason for her tepid welcome is soon revealed: 15 years earlier, Kieran's brother Finn (Remy Kidd) and his friend Toby (Talon Hopper) both drowned while trying to save Kieran who, despite his intimate knowledge of the landscape and the tides, found himself trapped in a local cave as it filled with water during a freak storm. We're shown the incident in flashbacks, including the aftermath of Kieran in hospital as Verity blames him for his brother's death, while Brian tries to calm her down. Clearly that didn't work, as Kieran fled for the mainland as soon as he could. But now he's back, and somewhat surprised that it's in time for the anniversary of the accident, which is to be commemorated with a special footy match. But his old mates Ash (George Mason) and Sean (Thom Green) welcome him back, even though Ash is now paired up with Kieran's ex, Liv (Jessica De Gouw), and others in town are less than thrilled.

Riley Keough praises Stevie Nicks' 'great idea' for Daisy Jones and the Six follow-up
Riley Keough thinks Stevie Nicks has had a "great idea" for a second season of Daisy Jones and the Six. The 36-year-old actress played the titular singer in the TV adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel of the same name - which was inspired by Stevie's band Fleetwood Mac and their Rumours album - and she suggested she's keen to reprise the role again after the Edge of 17 hitmaker previously admitted she'd pitched a suggestion for another storyline. Riley told People magazine: "I think that anything Stevie Nicks comes up with is a great idea, and she's wonderful. I love her so much. "She's the sweetest. She's amazing." Stevie, 77, revealed last October that she had pitched a second season idea to Riley and executive producer Reese Witherspoon, and while they "loved" her suggestion, they had been too busy to act on it. She told Rolling Stone magazine: "I wish that it could go into what if … had Billy come back after Billy's wife died and knocked on her door, and they decided to make that last record that I always hoped that Lindsey [Buckingham] and I would make. That would make a fantastic second season. "I talked to Reese and Riley about it, and they loved the idea, but everybody's so busy. Riley's on her way to becoming a big movie star. But maybe one of these days, they'll do it. "Until I saw 'Daisy Jones and The Six', I would have never thought it was even possible to emulate our life." Stevie had expected to "hate" the programme and originally didn't plan to watch it. She said: "I didn't even want to see it, because I thought I was going to hate it so much. I had Covid when I saw it. I was in my condo in Los Angeles, and I can remember saying, 'Am I just watching my life go by?' " Stevie felt the drama was very well cast and she was sad her bandmate Christine McVie - who died in November 2022 aged 79 - passed away before she got chance to see it for herself. She said: "Riley doesn't look like me. She's much snappier than me. I couldn't be as snappy as her in Fleetwood Mac. Christine and I couldn't do that, because we were the peacemakers. "Riley could be totally s***** and a smart a** and totally arrogant, because she wasn't even in the band, and they weren't even nice to her. So that was the biggest difference. "But as far as her character went, it was very similar to me. And I instantly wanted to call her and meet her, and I did. "I thought Suki [Waterhouse] was a great Christine — in her Englishness and just the way that she dressed. And you know what I was really sad about? That Christine didn't get to see that, because she would've been so tickled by her. "And I thought Billy [Sam Claflin] was spectacular. I thought he captured so much of Lindsey that it was creepy. He had the curls and that dark handsomeness that Lindsey had. "One of my favourites was Camila [Morrone]. I thought that Camila and Daisy were a really good combination of me, the two of them put them together."
