Mindy Kaling is the mother of Katherine “Kit” (8), Spencer (5), and Anne (2). She has not publicly identified the father of her children, which has fueled speculation, including about B.J. Novak, who is described as a godfather. Kaling said Novak is deeply integrated into their family life and that her kids adore him. She also said she is currently single and feels happy and content without a partner. Kaling indicated she may share the father’s identity in the future, but wants to wait because immediate public discussion could affect her children’s privacy. She described single motherhood as challenging, while also noting strong support from her nanny, father, and stepmother.
"“He really is in our family, and I love talking about him because my kids adore him, and he's such a huge part of our life.”"
"“If I was just watching it from the outside, I would have the same questions and the same reactions,” she continued, noting that she's currently single and “happy and content” without a partner."
"Mindy said that she is open to sharing the identity of her children's father in the future, but explained that she'd want to wait until her children are older: “The ramifications are so immediate for them that I just want to make sure that however I talk about it is in a way that really respects their privacy.”"
"She called being a single mother “enormously challenging,” adding, “But I'm so lucky because I waited till I was older, and I have more resources. I have an incredible nanny. My dad and stepmom are a huge part of my kids' lives. It's been so much better than I ever thought it would be.”"
