Mindy Kaling has never been happier! The Office alum quietly gave birth to her third child, a baby girl named Anne, in February. The new addition joins big sister Katherine, 6, and big brother Spencer, 3.
In a heartfelt Instagram post on June 24, which coincided with her 45th birthday, Mindy shared photos of her kids, her baby bump, and moments at the hospital. She captioned, ‘She’s the best birthday present I could’ve ever imagined. When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life. I’m so lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timeline.’
This happy news comes three months after Mindy opened up about her children’s bond. She told TODAY.com in March, ‘Literally, all you want as a parent are these glimmers of hope that your children will get along with each other unprompted. When they’re [asked]
Who is your best friend?
they say each other, and that is incredibly moving.’
The star of The Mindy Project has often reflected on the impact of motherhood, especially following the passing of her own mother in 2012. During a 2023 appearance on Today With Hoda & Jenna, she shared her emotions during a trip to Boston, ‘I was just looking at these guys. They’ll never get to meet my mother, but that’s where I grew up with her. When I was there I just felt like,
Oh man.
The loss of a parent is so intense, and she was my person, but I was like,
At least I have these two. And I can tell the story of her.
And I just felt so blessed.’
Mindy Kaling’s journey into motherhood continues to bring her immense joy and cherished memories, even as she navigates it without her own mother by her side. Welcome to the world, baby Anne!
