Olivia Munn is an actress and former journalist who has earned acclaim for her work in action films like X-Men: Apocalypse. She has become a favorite actress for those invested in “nerd culture,” partially due to her unabashed love of video games and the gamer lifestyle.

With several exciting projects on the horizon, Munn is still a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. She has also frequently been in the headlines due to her romances with high-profile figures in the sports world. And recently, Munn opened up about her attitude towards love and marriage, surprising many fans. 

How did Olivia Munn become famous?

Munn was born in Oklahoma in 1980. Raised in a military family, Munn spent the majority of her early years in Japan, ultimately moving back to Oklahoma when she was a teenager.

Attracted to a career in the arts, Munn attended the University of Oklahoma and studied both Japanese and drama. Immediately upon her graduation from college, Munn became an intern in Tulsa but eventually moved to Los Angeles to pursue better opportunities.

Her acting career took off not long after her move to California. A few of Munn’s early roles included roles in TV shows like Beyond the Break. She also had a long-running hosting stint on Attack of the Show! 

Munn began getting recognition for her talent and versatility and began getting roles in big-name movies, including Date Night, Iron Man 2, Magic Mike, and The Babysitters. Munn’s biggest role to date has been as the character Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Munn’s latest project is a Netflix film titled Love, Wedding, Repeat, and she has several other acting projects that are set to be released sometime in 2020.

A high-profile, beautiful actress, Munn has enjoyed her share of attention. Still, she’s been relatively private about her personal life and has only been in several relationships that made media headlines.

Her longest-running romance to date was with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The two started dating in 2014 and remained together until 2017. Their relationship garnered particular attention in 2016 when it was revealed that Rodgers was feuding with his family and that Munn was somehow involved in the dispute. 

In late 2019, rumors started swirling that Munn was dating Tucker Roberts, president of the Philadelphia Fusion. Munn and Roberts have kept their relationship very low-key and generally refuse to go into detail about their romance or how it first started. 

What does Olivia Munn think about marriage?

Many girls and young women dream about their wedding many years before it actually happens, or even before they get engaged. Although the idea of a fantasy wedding has been ingrained into American culture, Munn isn’t quite on board.

In fact, as she revealed in a recent interview with Marc Malkin, she doesn’t really care much for the idea of marriage.

“I never have ever been that girl who dreamed about her wedding. And I’ll hear about friends who have, and I’ve just never been the person that’s like, ‘Oh, I can’t wait to get married. This is what it’s going to be like, what my ring would be.’ I don’t really have any of those,” Munn admitted. 

She couldn’t quite put a finger on why the idea of marriage makes her edgy, but she did admit that she has only been to a handful of weddings in her life, and the ones that she did attend, she found incredibly boring. It seems safe to say that fans shouldn’t expect any glam wedding dress poses from Munn anytime soon, even if she does eventually tie the knot.
