Mindy Kaling Secretly Gave Birth to Her Third Child, and People Suspect One Thing
Mindy Kaling celebrated her 45th birthday and shared with her Instagram followers that she gave birth to her third child in February. She doesnât reveal who is the father of her kids, but fans have their thoughts about it.
On the 24th of June, which was also her 45th birthday, Mindy Kaling shared the happy news on Instagram that she gave birth to a baby girl named Anne in February.
âSheâs the best birthday present I couldâve ever imagined,â Kaling wrote in the caption. âWhen things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life.â
She added that she feels âso lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timelineâ and thanked her followers for all the birthday wishes.
In her post, Kaling shared a series of photos: one of her three children, another showcasing her baby bump, and a heartwarming shot of her two kids snuggled up on what appears to be Kalingâs hospital bed.
Kalingâs announcement was unexpected, as the Mindy Project star had not previously disclosed her pregnancy.
Her newborn daughter, Anne, joins her older siblings, Katherine, 6, and Spencer, 3.
The actress has previously stated that she does not plan to discuss the paternity of her children, and she refrains from sharing images of their faces on her social media.
However, the fascination with Mindyâs children stems from her long-standing, on-again, off-again romance with her Office co-star B.J. Novak.
Fans of the show canât seem to let go of the idea that he might be the father of her children. As one user on X noted: âI donât even need Mindy Kaling to ever publicly confirm that her kids are B.J. Novakâs because, in my heart of hearts, I know that her kids are B.J. Novakâsâ.
Previously, Mindy Kaling said it âdoesnât botherâ her when people think B.J. Novak is the father of her children. The actress funny told, âHeâs the godparent to both my kidsâand they have such a great relationshipâand so far [the rumors havenât] affected my happiness at all, it hasnât affected my kids or B.J. If thatâs what is going to be titillating to people, Iâll take it.â
As one of the original writers of The Office, Mindy Kaling went on to create her own show, The Mindy Project, which aired for six seasons and starred her as the main character. She has also published two best-selling memoirs, which received massive acclaim for their humor and relatability.
