Kaling, 45, is also mom to Katherine, 6, and Spencer, 3. She has chosen to keep the identity of her children’s father or fathers private.
Novak is the godfather of Kaling’s oldest children. In 2022, Kaling spoke to ET about why she Desk co-star is a great godfather.
“He’s so good with kids!” Kaling shared. “He literally wrote a bestselling book called The book without pictures for kids.”
“It comes very innately to him, you know, like being with kids,” she added. “So he’s a great godfather.”

After the celebrity gossip Instagram account Two Mes posted that Kaling and Novak had a fight in March, Kaling jokingly commented directly in the post, “Oh my god, I hate him so much.”
In early 2023, Novak presented Kaling with the Norman Lear Award for Achievement in Television at the Producers Guild Awards, where he opened up about his budding romance.
“We were in love with each other, and we were both reckless idiots. We would argue about all these things forever, bringing the writers’ room to a standstill until we got really upset and went to our respective offices and slammed the door, where we would continue arguing over AOL Instant Messenger,” Novak joked. “It was 2005. My screen name was @DaxSucks because I imagined myself in a rivalry with actor Dax Shepard. Hers was even dumber — @Fairfax1240 because that was her home address.”
He described their relationship as a “tumultuous, romantic, toxic, no-holds-barred mess,” saying, “We made it work or it didn’t work, we got through it.”
