What’s your toddler’s love language? Always wanting to be held? Grabbing your hand to go on another adventure? Helping you with the dishes? Little kids show love in as many different ways as adults do, and they are all special. But the way 2-year-old Malcolm showered his mom Olivia Munn with love just turned our hearts into one big pile of mush. He gave her a compliment and a present that prove he’s a charmer.

The Hit-Monkey star posted a cute new video of her son, who she shares with boyfriend John Mulaney, on Instagram over the weekend. The little boy wears a denim jumpsuit rolled up on the arms with white-and-black checkered Vans. He holds a little green car in one hand and a tiny purple flower in the other, which he carries over to his mom.

“You are so beautiful,” Malcolm says. Aww! Munn responds, “Aww, oh my gosh, thank you Malcolm!”

Malcolm then hands his mom the purple flower and repeats, “You are so beautiful,” before turning and walking away. As he turns, you can see the back of his jumpsuit which says, “I love my mummy” in yellow embroidery.

Is he not just the sweetest boy ever?!

“my love my heart my greatest joy wrapped up in a denim jumpsuit,” Munn captioned the post.

The Newsroom alum recently revealed that she was diagnosed with luminal B bilateral breast cancer last May, which led to a double mastectomy, reconstruction surgery, and hormone suppression therapy that put her in a medically induced menopause. She told PEOPLE last week that she copes with the stress of this diagnosis and treatment by focusing on Malcolm.

“When I’m with him, it’s the only time my brain doesn’t think about being sick,” Munn said. “I’m just so happy with him. And it puts a lot of stuff into perspective. Because if my body changes, I’m still his mom. If I have hot flashes, I’m still his mom. If I lose my hair, I’m still his mom.”

“That’s really what matters the most to me. I get to be here for him,” she added.

In January, Munn shared a video of Malcolm getting ready to go in an inflatable pool, when she just peppers his head with kisses. “If I knew earlier in my life that this magical boy would be in my future, I wouldn’t have worried so much about all the little things,” she captioned the special moment.

Today, she explained what was going on behind the scenes when that video was taken. “This moment was last summer when I had already had two surgeries and recovery — mentally and physically — was pretty rough,” she wrote on her Instagram story.

“The smallest, silliest moments like this lifted me up every single time,” she added. “My Malcolm 🥹.”
