Mindy Kaling has announced that she has welcomed a third child.
The Office alum revealed that she welcomed a daughter named Anne in late February after a secret pregnancy in an Instagram post shared on Monday.
Kaling announced the happy news on her 45th birthday, June 24, calling Anne “the best birthday present I could have ever imagined.”
‘At the end of February I gave birth to my daughter Anne. She is the best birthday present I could ever imagine. When times are tough, and when I tend to become cynical, my three children are a wonderful reminder of the pure joy in my life,” the new mother of three posted on Instagram.
“I’m so lucky to live in a place where I can do this on my own, on my own timeline. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!’

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.”
