Olivia Munn has been spending quality time with 23-month-old son Malcolm — through Mandarin!
Gift of learning: Munn, 43, shared an adorable video of herself teaching Malcolm Mandarin words on Instagram on Sunday. In the caption, she thanked her friend and “Beef” star Ali Wong for the book they were using.
In the video, Munn invites her boyfriend and Malcolm’s father, John Mulaney, to look at their son’s progress. Mulaney is heard saying “aww” in the background.
Journey to parenthood: Munn and Mulaney welcomed Malcolm Hiep into the world on Nov. 24, 2021. Since then, she has chronicled their family life on Instagram, sharing moments from home and their travels.
Earlier this year, she shared a clip of Malcolm opening a door after turning 1. “Oh no…I’m not prepared! Aggghh!” Munn joked.
Days later, she shared Malcolm’s first visit to an Asian market, which drew mixed reactions.
Reactions: Instagram users praised the mother-and-son for their Mandarin time. Some said they related to their bonding moment.
“My lil guy loves that book! He’s at a great dual immersion school in Westwood and now almost fluent,” one commented.
Another wrote, “Hope you find all the resources you need for learning Mandarin. @aliwong knows where it’s at. There are options within the national Mandarin immersion community!”
“You’re doing great!” another noted.
