Olivia Munn refuses to clarify John Mulaney relationship timeline, hints ...

Olivia Munn appears to have hit back at online speculation about the timeline of her relationship with John Mulaney, refusing to 'play the game' and divulge details.

The Newsroom actress, 41, defended her privacy while explaining why she's keeping silent about when the relationship began during an interview with the Los Angeles Times out Tuesday.

'It's definitely not foreign for me to have people speculate incorrectly about things and to have rumors run rampant in one way,' Munn, who is expecting her first child with Mulaney, told the publication, later adding 'It's easier to blame me' while opting not to pin down the dates.

'They think they know our relationship so well. When in reality, they don't,' Munn went on. 

Then, seeming to dismiss breakup rumors, she referred to their relationship in the present tense, saying: 'There's no way anyone could know what any of his relationships were or what our relationship is.'

Munn said she wouldn't be offering any more information, in hopes of not 'feed[ing] into a narrative that's just not true.'

She went on adding that people tend to 'ignore really specific public signs and actions that completely contradict the false narrative.' 

'For whatever reason, it's easier to blame me,' the X-Men: Apocalypse actress went on, alluding to claims Munn and Mulaney may have began dating before his divorce from wife of six-years Anna Marie Tendler made news in May 2021. 

Days later, he and Munn would go public.
