Mindy Kaling isn’t bothered by speculation that B.J. Novak is the father of her children

“(Novak is) the godparent to both my kids — and they have such a great relationship — and so far (the rumors haven’t) affected my happiness at all, it hasn’t affected my kids or B.J.,” she told Marie Claire. “If that’s what is going to be titillating to people, I’ll take it.”

Kaling and Novak have been friends since their days as writers and actors on NBC’s hit cringe-comedy “The Office.” And like their characters Kelly and Ryan, the pair were an off-again, on-again couple throughout their period working on the series.
