New mom moment! Olivia Munn’s post-baby ‘snapback’ is all about sweatpants and a whole lot of cheese. Bow down to this new mom’s refreshingly honest approach.
The actress, who welcomed her son Malcolm Hiep with partner John Mulaney in November, knows that many new moms are just trying to squeeze into tight jeans and avoid the cheese aisle at the grocery store. Munn, 41, recently shared a humorous photo on Instagram where she was caught in the act of digging into a table of parmigiano reggiano at what appears to be a Whole Foods.
“This is my #snapback. Rocking my boyfriend’s clothes. Hair in disarray. Shopping for cheese,” she captioned the image, poking fun at the all-too-common “post-baby body” comments many women endure after childbirth. “I thought I was handling things pretty well until I saw this picture,” she added. “I believed the wedge sneakers would give me a more polished look, but I was mistaken. Thanks for capturing this moment @kellynotcasey.”
A wedge (shoe) for a wedge (of cheese) sounds like a fair trade! Comedian Whitney Cummings chimed in, “Totally John’s fault because it’s his outfit — also his sperm did this.” Munn’s former “New Girl” co-star even remarked, “Had to do a double take. Thought it was me caught out in the wild.”
As awkward as she feels in the photo, Munn is not alone in her postpartum journey—many new mothers have been spotted in the cheese or dessert aisle of grocery stores, looking for sustenance during those long weeks with a hungry baby.
Munn is a strong advocate for honesty about the ups and downs of new motherhood. She frequently shares cute pictures of her 4-month-old son, along with candid reflections on the challenges of being a new mom, such as the pressure to breastfeed and the expectation to bounce back. “Postpartum life right now: everyone’s asleep except me. Been wearing the same sweatshirt for three days (I think, maybe more?). I’m pretty sure that’s spit-up on my shirt,” she shared on Instagram Stories last month, along with a midnight mirror selfie. “I’m thrilled yet struggling (it’s strange to feel both at once, but I’m grateful for the joy to keep me afloat).”
Munn clearly understands that humor and humility are key to navigating this stage of parenthood, alongside a generous helping of cheese.
