Munn told PEOPLEin April about how her son kept her spirits high amidher breast cancer battle in 2023.

“When I’m with him, it’s the only time my brain doesn’t think about being sick,” she 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.”
