Mindy Kaling delighted her fans with a heartwarming surprise: she has become a mother once more. The Office actress, 45, discreetly welcomed her third child earlier this year and chose June 24th to share the joyous news on Instagram.
Accompanying the announcement was an endearing photo of Kaling’s newborn daughter, Anne , cuddled up with her older siblings, Katherine , 6, and Spencer , 3. In a heartfelt caption, the Mindy Project alum reflected on the joy of expanding her family.

Mindy Kaling Reveals That She Welcomed Her Third Child Earlier This Year
Kaling also included a touching image of her baby bump and a candid snapshot of herself in a hospital bed, flanked by her two older children. "In late February I gave birth to my daughter, Anne. She’s the best birthday present I could’ve ever imagined," the mom of three captioned her post for her 6.3 million followers.
"When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life," the Never Have I Ever writer gushed. "I’m so lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timeline. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!"

Fans headed to the post's comments section to share their thoughts and congratulate Kaling. "Queen of secretly giving birth," one fan wrote as another added: "The way you’ve shocked us 3 times with 3 different kids! CONGRATULATIONS!!!" One other replied: "Oh Mindy! Huge congratulations to you and ur gorgeous family! Children truly are the best part of our lives."
Kaling has maintained a veil of secrecy regarding the father of her children. This discretion extends back to her first pregnancy with daughter Katherine, which she managed to keep under wraps until she confirmed the news in August 2017, only a few months before the baby's December arrival.

It wasn't until the following fall that Kaling shared any photos on social media. Her talent for secrecy only improved with her second pregnancy; she successfully kept the news from the public until she announced the birth of her son, Spencer, in October, a month after he was born.
When expecting her third child, Kaling adeptly attended numerous events without revealing her baby bump . At a Diwali Celebration in November 2023 in Culver City, California, she donned a black gown with a feather peplum that cleverly concealed her pregnancy. The trend continued in December 2023, as she wore all black to the ChainFEST Gourmet Chain Food Festival VIP Night in Los Angeles.
Three months postpartum, Kaling dazzled on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet in a beige Gaurav Gupta gown, which featured a cinched waist that masked any sign of a bump.
