Mindy Kaling says it \u201cdoesn\u2019t bother\u201d her when people think BJ Novak is the father of her children.<\/p>\n
\u2018The Sex Lives of College Girls\u2019 creator \u2013 who has kept mum about the paternity of her four-year-old daughter Katherine and 23-month-old son Spencer \u2013 doesn\u2019t care if people think her \u2018The Office\u2019 co-star, 43, is their dad.<\/p>\n
The 43-year-old funny lady told Marie Claire: \u201cHe\u2019s the godparent to both my kids \u2013 and they have such a great relationship \u2013 and so far [the rumors haven\u2019t] affected my happiness at all, it hasn\u2019t affected my kids or BJ. If that\u2019s what is going to be titillating to people, I\u2019ll take it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kaling revealed that she will discuss it when her two little ones are \u201cold enough to talk to me about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cI\u2019m the only parent my kids have. I think I err on the side of super cautious so that there\u2019s less things that they can potentially be mad at me about down the line.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kaling detailed to the magazine why she \u201cwaited\u201d to have kids on her \u201cown terms\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI waited until I had the means and that made all the difference,\u201d while citing the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade \u2013 which gave constitutional access to safe and legal abortion across the US \u2013 adding: \u201cThe choice to have a child \u2013 by yourself, on your own terms \u2013 it was the best part of my life. It\u2019s the thing that I hope women feel confident doing by themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2020, \u2018The Mindy Project\u2019 star gushed about how the \u2018Vengeance\u2019 star and director \u2013 who she used to be date \u2013 \u201cis so much more like family now than a platonic friend\u201d while talking about he made up part of their \u201cpandemic pod\u201d.<\/p>\n
Kaling added: \u201cHe\u2019s great with kids. And so it\u2019s been really nice to have his energy in the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
