Olivia Munn has been battling breast cancer alongside her mother, Kimberly “Kim” Munn, the actress revealed in July 2025. About a year after Olivia unveiled her own diagnosis with the disease, she shared in an Instagram post that her mom had undergone multiple rounds of chemotherapy to fight the disease. In the caption, Olivia pointed out that Kim wouldn’t have caught her cancer in time if she hadn’t taken the Lifetime Risk Assessment test.
“From my mom being there after my double mastectomy to me being there after hers,” Olivia wrote in her post. “From me having to find an oncologist, to my mom and I sharing one. I can tell you this: going through cancer is really hard. But there’s something about watching a loved one go through it that is even more heartbreaking.”
