Mindy Kaling is the mother of two children but has never revealed the father, leading fans to speculate whether she is trans. The actress-producer is known to have dated two men but she prefers to keep her personal life private, so no one knows who her children's fathers are or if she has a man in her life.
Mindy Kaling's career as an actress, writer, producer, and director began in 2005 when she landed the role of Kelly Kapoor in NBC's mockumentary TV sitcom The Office, which ran for nine seasons. She furthered her career by creating, producing, and acting in the Fox romantic comedy series The Mindy Project, which aired from 2012 to 2017.
The 43-year-old actress is also the creator of the 2018 NBC sitcom Champions, the 2019 miniseries Four Weddings and a Funeral, and the 2020 rom-com series Never Have I Ever, which Netflix has renewed for a second season. Her comedic timing was so good that she was cast in three major animated films: Inside Out, Despicable Me, and Wreck-It Ralph. Kaling's career progressed further when she was cast in commercially successful films such as A Wrinkle in Time, The Night Before, and Ocean's 8.
The mother of two kids has never revealed who their father is, and she always attends red-carpet events with her best friend. As a result, fans are wondering whether she is trans. However, Mindy has dated two men in the past but she has not officially dated anyone. Follow this article to find out if the mysterious Mindy Kaling is trans or not.
In the previous episodes, we explored if Chris from MrBeast is gay and all about Brittney Griner's sexuality.
Mindy Kaling (@mindykaling) is not trans as she was born female and identifies as female. The mother of two is not married, and the identities of her children's fathers have not been revealed. Since becoming a mother, she has fueled speculation about her sexuality and led her fans to wonder if she is trans. Being in her mid-forties, Kaling is yet to be married and her current love life is unknown. Looking at her dating history indicates that she is not trans but her mysterious partner with whom she had kids somehow makes it to the point that she is trans.
During the early years of The Office, Kaling and BJ Novak dated on and off. Even though their relationship didn't work out, the two have remained close friends ever since. She was heartbroken when Novak broke up with her in 2007 when she was 24, but she has moved on. Novak considers Kaling an essential person in his life fifteen years after they met, and the two accompany each other to red-carpet appearances.
It was reported in December 2017 that the writer gave birth to a girl and named her Katherine after her mother, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2012. She shot the entire final season of The Mindy Project while pregnant with her first child. Her crew kept the situation hidden from everyone and worked around the angles and lighting. Although she was overjoyed to be a first-time mother, she remained mum about the baby's paternity.
Everyone assumed the father was Novak and that they simply wanted to keep the information private. The comedian said she couldn't blame the fans because if she were an outsider looking in, she would probably come to the same conclusion. She stated that BJ is her daughter's godfather and would come over to her house just to play with her. He's become more like family to her than just a best friend.
BJ was always there for her as she became busier and more successful in 2018. While they maintained their denials, neither of them was linked to anyone else, so the dating rumors persisted. The Office star became pregnant for the second time while filming Ocean's 8, telling many lies in order to keep the pregnancy a secret from the public. In 2020, she shocked fans and colleagues by giving birth while quarantined due to the Covid-19 virus pandemic.
This time, the 43-year-old actress revealed that her second pregnancy was not conventional, but she did not elaborate. Her son Spencer was born in September 2020. She still wouldn't say who the father was, and fans had come to accept that BJ wasn't the biological father of her children, but he loved them as if they were his own, especially her firstborn. On the other hand, Kaling began dating author Benjamin Nugent in 2008. Nugent and Kaling are thought to have dated until 2012 and appeared on several red carpets together, but little is known about their relationship, including when and why they split up.
The producer-director hasn't dated anyone since splitting from Nugent after a four-year relationship in 2012. Although she frequently attends red-carpet events with her best friend, BJ Kaling has not been romantically linked to anyone. According to everyone, she is a single mom who spends her date nights at home with her two kids – or with her best friend. Mindy Kaling has not named her children's father which has brought high speculation if the mysterious writer is a trans. However, she has not said anything on the topic but some fans assume she might be trans.
