Nesting can take many forms. You paint baby’s room. You fill baby’s closet. You get the whole house right, making sure it’s a home. Sometimes you change law firms in order to speed up the divorce from your wife, who is not the mother of your imminently arriving child.
John Mulaney is reportedly taking this latter route to prep for the arrival of his wee one with Olivia Munn. Page Six reports that he’s switched to a real go-getter law firm, the one that represented Annette Roque in her divorce from Matt Lauer (neither Mulaney nor the law firm confirmed it to the outlet). His soon-to-be ex-wife, Anna Marie Tendler, reportedly has Eleanor Alter on her side and Alter is also something of a go-getter. As Page Six notes, she’s represented Mia Farrow, Madonna, Robert De Niro, John Lennon, and (separately) both Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, who were once married. Please pour one out for either party’s bank accounts.
“John wants to speed things up and get the divorce done,” according to one of Page Six’s sources. “He’s becoming a father, so he switched to a new law firm with a reputation of being tough and efficient.”
It’s understandable. Isn’t it good to have fresh eyes on the world, a totally fresh start, when preparing to bring a new life into it? That’s nesting! Also nesting: figuring out what a baby wears.
“We talk about the same stuff, which is like—which rocker? What kind of crib do you put the baby in? What does the baby wear?” Munn told Hoda Kotb on Today of what she and Mulaney are still figuring out. “Honestly, thank God for Instagram and Facebook and blogs because there’s a lot of moms who put out so much great information, and that’s been such a saving grace for me.”
