Who’s their daddy?!
That seems to be the question on many of Mindy Kaling’s fans’ minds, and now she’s finally reacting to a viral rumor that the father of her two children, Katherine, 5, and Spencer, 2, is her The Office co-star B.J. Novak!
In case you’re not caught up on the buzz, The Office stars dated for three years before calling it quits romantically in 2007. Unlike many Hollywood relationships, they’ve only grown stronger since their breakup. Seeing as they are still so close, many of her followers have wondered if B.J. helped Mindy welcome her two children into the world… and, after all this time, she’s finally opening up about the chatter!

In a new interview with Marie Claire out on Tuesday, the actress revealed she’s heard the speculation and doesn’t mind at all! Keeping tight-lipped about her little ones’ paternity, she shared:
So, what is B.J.’s involvement in her kids’ lives then? It’s actually quite special, she noted:
Cute!
Most importantly, she doesn’t mind the speculation only because “it hasn’t affected” her family life — otherwise we’re sure she would have clapped back at the rumors much sooner to protect her babies! The Never Have I Ever creator explained:
LOLz!! Such a great attitude to have amid the rumors!
It doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Mindy is keeping quiet about her children’s father. She’s been notoriously private about her personal life, including her fertility journey, ever since welcoming her daughter in 2017. On why that is so important to her, she noted she wants to wait until her kids are “old enough to talk about it” before revealing details to the public. The 43-year-old teased:
That makes so much sense.
