Mindy has not yet revealed the father of her children, telling The New York Times in 2019, before her son was born, “My feeling is that until I talk to my daughter about this, I’m not going to talk to anyone. different about that.’

However, her Office co-star BJ Novak is notably the godfather of Katherine and Spencer.

In August 2022, Kaling told Entertainment Tonight, “He’s very good with kids. He literally wrote a bestseller called The Book With No Pictures for children.”

The Never Have I Ever creator added, “It’s very innate to him, you know, like being with kids. So he’s a great godfather.’

Rumors are circulating that Novak is the father of Katherine and Spencer, which the actress has closed.

She previously addressed the speculation during an interview with Marie Claire, revealing: “It doesn’t bother me. He is the godparent of both my children, and they have a great relationship.”
