MINDY KALING has finally addressed the persistent rumours about her relationship with B.J. Novak, insisting they are not a couple despite their close bond.
The actress and writer, who dated Novak from 2004 to 2007, revealed that he is like family to her now, especially to her three children who adore him as their godfather.
Mindy understands why fans speculate about Novak being the father of her kids, telling Bustle, “If I were looking at their relationship from the outside, I’d probably have the same questions too.”
Despite their history and ongoing friendship, Mindy confirmed she is happily single and not secretly dating her former “The Office” co-star.
She admitted that although she grew up obsessed with romance and often wrote love stories into her shows, she is surprisingly content without a serious partner these days.
The actress’s candid comments finally put an end to the speculation that has swirled around the pair for years.
Mindy’s honesty highlights that sometimes close Hollywood friendships don’t need to be more than that, even if the internet insists otherwise.
