Personal life
Mullen met his partner, Ann Acheson, in their first year at Mount Temple Comprehensive School. The two have been together for over 40 years and they have three children. He is a first cousin of Irish actor Conor Mullen. 
In the 1980s, The Prunes gave Mullen the nickname of "The Jam Jar'".As U2 became increasingly successful, Larry Mullen had to add the suffix "Junior" to his surname to avoid confusion with his father, who was receiving large tax bills meant for his son.In 1995, Mullen had surgery on his back to address an injury he had been carrying since The Joshua Tree Tour. He and Clayton own houses near Bono and The Edge in Southern France to make it easier to record with U2 in the south of France. In 2009, Mullen underwent knee surgery, an operation that was performed by Richard Steadman. Mullen subsequently joined the board of directors for his foundation, the Steadman Philippon Research Institute.
