The 40-year-old star recently started a relationship with the comedian after he split from his wife Annamarie Tendler after six years of marriage and an insider has suggested that Olivia is convinced she has found "her dream guy".

The source told Us Weekly magazine: "Olivia and John are going strong. She has been sneaking into some of his shows and loves them. ... Olivia is so smitten."

The insider adds that the feeling is mutual with John appreciative of Olivia's sense of humour.

It said: "John thinks Olivia is really smart and she makes him laugh too. They both have a very dry sense of humour."

It was confirmed last month that John had split from Annemarie, who admitted that she was "heartbroken" by the comic's decision, which came five months after John checked into a rehab facility after relapsing following a decades-long battle with alcoholism and cocaine use.

A representative for Mulaney said: "John will not have any further comment as he continues to focus on his recovery and getting back to work."

Whilst Annamarie said in a statement: "I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage. I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery."

It is said that John's issues with addiction had resurfaced during the coronavirus pandemic.

An insider explained: "His fans know he’s struggled in the past with sobriety, he has talked about it openly. Unfortunately he has struggled again during the pandemic.

"He’s on board with his recovery, he’s not fighting against rehab."
