Mindy Kaling and B.J Novak

Known for their roles in the hit series, The Office, Mindy Kaling’s relationship with B.J. Novak has been a close and friendly one. However, it had, to some degree, evolved on many occasions, mirroring the relationship of the characters they played in the series — Kelly Kapoor, played by Kaling, who is of Tamil-Bengali ancestry, and Ryan Howard, played by Novak, who is Jewish. Many fans consider their relationship at the time of The Office as an on-and-off relationship.

However, it seems that their romantic relationship didn’t last for long. Four years after The Office ended in 2013, Kaling had two children with her husband, whose identity she keeps private even to her close friends. The children are Katherine, born in December 2017, and Spencer, born in September 2020. Even though they are not romantic partners anymore, Novak became godparents to Kaling’s children and the former couple maintains a close relationship.
