Mindy Kaling is best known for her role as Kelly Kapoor in "The Office," and while she is well known, few people know about her private life. Kaling gave birth to a daughter in 2017 and announced in 2020 that she secretly had another child during the pandemic; though never married, Kaling is now revealing she may not see marriage in her future at all.
The true reason Kaling doesn't reveal who her children's father is is that she made a promise to her daughter, saying, “My feeling is that until I speak to my daughter about that, I'm not going to talk to anyone else about it.” She was surprised and taken aback by her first pregnancy, so she was reluctant to tell anyone about it.
Kaling shared that she may stay single for the foreseeable future, and she said, “I don't need marriage. I don't need anyone to take care of all my needs and desires.” The mother of two feels self-sufficient on her own, saying, “I can take care of them myself now.”
