Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak continue to be two peas in a pod all these years later — and as she’s said, he’s a great godparent to her kids … especially when they go to Disneyland.
The two former ‘Office’ stars — who once dated, but now remain incredibly close friends — hit up the Happiest Place on Earth Friday with a crew of other adults tagging along … and a VIP guide escorting them through the park.
These pics, obtained by TMZ, were captured in Fantasyland, and they were near the carousel … with the grownups asking Mindy’s 6-year-old daughter, Katherine, which ride she wanted to go on. Looks like it was a birthday outing … the kid was born in December 2017.
Anyway, as you can see … B.J. is holding Katherine’s hand — alongside a blonde woman — while Mama Bear was walking ahead of them and looking back to keep an eye on everyone.
If you’re unfamiliar with Mindy’s family dynamic … it’s a little complicated, especially considering her romantic history with B.J. At this point, though, he’s part of MK’s brood.
Mindy actually has two children, but nobody knows who their dad is — as she’s kept his identity under wraps. With that said, there’s been speculation that B.J. himself might, in fact, be the father … but Mindy has said he’s simply her children’s godfather … and nothing more.
Considering how close he is with Mindy, it’s not surprising to see B.J. rolling with her and her kid(s) these days — but it does kinda fuel the unsubstantiated rumor he might be Daddy.
The larger backdrop, of course, is the Ryan/Kelly onscreen coupling that has somewhat manifested in real life. The Ry Guy left his baby behind to be with Ms. Kapoor in the TV show — but B.J. seems to have found a way to have it all in real life, murky as it may be.
Condolences to Baby Drake … Kat’s got him all to herself!
