"I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter," she added.

The actress was diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer in both breasts in April 2023. Munn revealed in March that she underwent a double mastectomy among other surgeries in the months following her breast cancer diagnosis. She also opened up about undergoing a hysterectomy in the wake of her cancer treatment.

"When I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother. She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel," wrote Munn.

She continued to express gratitude for the gestational surrogate who carried Munn and Mulaney's child.

"Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true," she wrote.

She ended the post with a note clarifying the pronunciation of her newborn. "Méi (pronounced may) means plum in Chinese 梅💜," she finished.

Mulaney also took to Instagram to celebrate the news writing, "We stole so much stuff from the hospital. I love my little girl so much."

In an interview with "Good Morning America" in May, Munn discussed fertility issues and the idea of pursuing surrogacy as a result of her health issues.

"John and I had a long talk about it. We realized that we weren't done growing our family," Munn said. "So right after the double mastectomy, I went through a round of egg retrieval and that's a scary process because I have a cancer that feeds off of hormones so I knew there was a risk."

"And our doctor said, 'Look, we're gonna get one for you and then we're gonna call it,'" she continued. "And then our doctor called and he said, 'Hey, we got the results back. It's two healthy embryos.' And I, we, I mean, just started bawling, crying, both of us."
