Mindy Kaling isn’t bothered by rumors that BJ Novak is the father of her kids



“It doesn’t bother me,” Kaling told Marie Claire in an interview published Tuesday. While she did not confirm the identity of her daughter and son’s biological father, she said Novak was an important part of her children’s lives.

“(Novak is) the godfather of my two children – and they have such a good relationship – and so far (the rumors haven’t) affected my happiness at all, it hasn’t affected my children or BJ” , she said. said Marie-Claire. “If that’s what’s going to tickle people, I’ll take it.”

Kaling and Novak have been friends since their days as writers and actors on NBC’s hit comedy “The Office.” And like their characters Kelly and Ryan, the pair were a recurring couple throughout their time working on the show.

Today, the pair have a strong personal and professional relationship: the two attended the Oscars together, and last week Novak shared a behind-the-scenes photo from his directorial debut, “Vengeance,” of Kaling returning visit to the set.
