Their child, Malcolm, was born towards the end of 2021.
According to Munn, I typically only allow others to see me when I have enough energy to get ready and leave the house. This usually means I can take my baby boy to the park. I have chosen to keep my diagnosis, worries, and journey towards recovery private, along with the pain medication I have been taking and the paper gowns I have worn during hospital visits. I needed time to process and overcome the most difficult moments before opening up about them.
