Mindy Kaling Addresses Rumors About B.J. Novak Being Her Children's Father

Former ‘The Office’ stars Mindy Kailing and B.J Novak have been longtime friends, and even dated at one point, and rumors that B.J. may be the father of her two children have swirled the internet for years.
Mindy is finally addressing those rumors saying, "He's 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 BJ, If that's what is going to be titillating to people, I'll take it. “
She added, 'm the only parent my kids have…I think I err on the side of super cautious so that there's less things that they can potentially be mad at me about down the line."
This isn’t the first time Mindy has addressed the paternity of her two children, but she has chosen not to reveal the name publicly to this date.
Do you think BJ could be their dad? Would you ever consider having a baby with a friend?
