On June 24, 2024, Mindy Kaling took to Instagram to reveal she gave birth to her third child in February but did not reveal who her husband was yet again.
Further, the actress has never revealed the identity of her previous children’s biological father as well; instead, she openly embraces her role as a single mother by choice.
In a recent interview with WSJ Magazine, she expressed, “In terms of my career, I’m a single mom, I’m the breadwinner in the house.” Similarly, she has never confirmed her marital status.
Since she is not publicly dating anyone, she surprised everyone with her baby number three, Anne. She highlights her joy of parenting and values independence in making decisions about her family life.
Despite being a prominent figure, Mindy Kaling remains discreet about her personal dating life, preferring to focus on her career and her role as a mother.
While the father’s identity remains a secret, Mindy’s children have BJ Novak as a dedicated Godfather
Mindy Kaling and BJ Novak have been close friends since they worked together on the NBC sitcom The Office. They’ve been coworkers, dated at times, and now they’re just best friends.
