BREAKING NEWS Mindy Kaling's rumored baby daddy BJ Novak, 45, has a 'new girlfriend' who is 17 years younger
Mindy Kaling 's good friend BJ Novak, 45, has a new girlfriend.
On Monday People reported that he has been spending time with a pretty brunette TikTok star.
She is Idaho native Delaney Rowe, 28.
In November they were snapped together at The Official How Long Gone After Party at The Standard in New York City.
In December 2024 there was talk that the two might be seeing each other after they were spotted together at the Bowery Hotel in New York City, according to Deuxmoi.
For years it has been speculated that he is still dating his The Office costar Kaling and they have welcomed children together.
The pair dated on and off from 2004 to 2007, and although they have publicly insisted their bond is now platonic, rumors have been swirling about their equation for years.
The pair have remained friends since they met while working on The Office in 2004.
In 2017, Novak became her daughter's godfather.
They have appeared at multiple public events together since their split, igniting speculation that their relationship might be more than just amicable.
Their Office characters Kelly and Ryan had a complicated relationship on-screen, and by the series finale, the two characters were back together.
At the 2022 Emmy Awards, the pair poked fun at their 'insanely complicated relationship' while co-presenting the award for writing for a limited or anthology series or movie.
When she received her star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Mindy - who has not publicly named the father of any of her three children - made headlines by describing BJ as an 'important and integral' part of her family.
However, amid the renewed surge of conjecture, Mindy, 45, posed solo on the red carpet outside Hollywood's famed Dolby Theatre on Oscar night.
But they were seen together at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.
Mindy is mother to Katherine, seven, Spencer, four, and Anne, one, but has been assiduously private about who fathered her children.
Kaling secretly had her third child in February 2024.
The Mindy Project actress, who previously had her son Spencer, four, without telling fans she was pregnant, chose her 45th birthday to announce she was a mother again.
She captioned an Instagram post that featured photos of her new arrival – a girl called Anne – with her siblings Katherine, six, and Spencer: '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. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!'
Mindy included a throwback snap of her baby bump with the post.
In 2020, the comic and actress announced on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' she had given birth to Spencer without ever letting the public know she had been pregnant.
She said: 'I'm telling it for the first time now… I gave birth to a baby boy on 3 September.'
Mindy has never disclosed the father of her children, and left the box for the father's name on Katherine's birth certificate blank.

HBO's Harry Potter TV series casts another two key characters after bosses revealed the three child stars who will play leading roles
HBO bosses have cast another two key characters for their high-profile TV adaption of Harry Potter. The series is a reboot of J.K. Rowling 's seven-book series and is a full-scale, decade-long adaptation that promises to stick far more closely to the original storylines than the blockbuster films. Actor Dominic McLaughlin has landed the title role, while Arabella Stanton is set to play Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout will portray Ron Weasley. JK Rowling gave her approval to the trio cast as the new child stars of the multi-million-pound production. And now it's been revealed Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby have signed up to play the Mr and Mrs Dursley. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. US outlet Variety report that Bel, 33, will play Petunia Dursley, the older sister of Lilly, who was Harry Potter's mother. The star began her acting career when she was just a teenager on CBBC and in 2015 was praised for her portrayal of Princess Margaret in A Royal Night Out. BAFTA-winning actor Daniel, 42, will play her on-screen husband Vernon, though it's yet to be revealed who will play their son. Daniel scooped a gong for his leading role as Eric Morecambe in the 2011 BBC film Eric and Ernie. Fiona Shaw and Richard Griffiths played the characters in the Harry Potter film franchise. The casting news comes as Hollywood heavyweight John Lithgow was previously announced as the new Albus Dumbledore. Janet McTeer, known for her powerhouse performances on stage and screen, will step into the sharp heels of Professor McGonagall, while rising star Paapa Essiedu takes on the darker, more complicated role of Severus Snape – a part made famous by the late Alan Rickman. Actor and comedian Nick Frost will play legendary Hogwarts groundskeeper Hagrid in the adaption. Nick, 53, previously revealed he's been targeted by trans activists for signing up for the popular role and even had to switch his Instagram comments off. Rowling, who is serving as an executive producer of the new series, has become a vocal presence in the transgender debate. Distancing himself from her trans views, Nick told the Observer: 'She's allowed her opinion and I'm allowed mine. They just don't align in any way, shape of form.' Previously speaking about the casting, executive producer and director Mark Mylod said: 'We're delighted to have such extraordinary talent onboard, and we can't wait to see them bring these beloved characters to new life.' The new series is aims to 'lead a new generation of fandom' and hopes to recapture the beloved details Harry Potter fans have enjoyed for 25 years. Filming officially kicked off last month, though the cast and crew were reportedly left 'bewildered' by producers' choice of location for the shoot. Production has been set up on the Île de Sein off the coast of Brittany where they are thought to be re- creating the famous moment that Hagrid says, 'You're a wizard Harry! ' A source told The Sun: 'This caused a certain amount of amusement among the British crew who all agreed that they could have easily got windswept in virtually any part of the British Isles. 'They've been slightly bewildered by the fact they've actually gone to France to make a show which is so British — particularly since it's the first place they've gone to and they're doing key scenes there. 'For fans it's likely to be a sign that with American producers running the show, it might not be as mindful of Harry Potter as a national treasure that shouldn't be tampered with.'

Kieran Culkin faces fierce fury over his bizarre response to being cast in Hunger Games prequel
Along with his iconic role as Roman Roy in the hit series Succession (and his appearance as the lesser-known McAllister brother in Home Alone), Kieran Culkin is also known for his dry humor. For years now in various interviews and speeches, he's made countless 'jokes' about not caring about his job or not knowing what he's doing. He's sarcastically discussed his own award nominations, told fans who have called him their favorite actor that they should 'aim higher,' and claimed the Oscar awards was just a bargaining chip to get his wife to agree to have more children. And most recently, he's made a pretty shocking statement about his upcoming portrayal of Caesar Flickerman in the Hunger Games prequel, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Culkin, 42, who was confirmed to appear in the series last month, was signing autographs for fans outside of his Broadway play, Glengarry Glen Ross, when he made the comment. A fan, recording Culkin, told him, 'You're going to an amazing Caesar Flickerman.' 'I don't think so,' Culkin responded as the supporter continued, 'I'm so excited.' Culkin then said, 'Lower those expectations please... please do... I have no idea what I'm going to do with that.' Most recently, he's made a pretty shocking statement about his upcoming portrayal of Caesar Flickerman (seen in the original franchise) in the Hunger Games prequel Culkin is an Oscar-winning actor, and yet his nonchalant attitude about his accomplishments is starting to rub fans the wrong way - especially when it comes to a franchise as beloved as The Hunger Games. Fans took to social media to share their disapproval over Culkin's comments after the video went viral on X, formerly Twitter. 'This "I don't take anything seriously" act of his has worn out its welcome' one X user shared. 'This whole bit of his where he doesn't give a f**k or care about his job is tired and annoying,' another agreed. 'I thought winning one of the most undeserved Oscars ever might make him less annoying, but it didn't,' said someone else. 'The pretending not to care thing is getting old because [people of color] would get slaughtered for this and there's better actors out there that probs couldn't even get an audition for this,' a different person pointed out. 'I cannot not think of all the actresses who are witch hunted daily for making jokes not even close to this… a woman publicly saying she is not prepared for a role? Cannot even imagine,' a fifth tweet read. has reached out to Culkin for comment. Fans expressed anger at Culkin's constant sarcasm, pointing out the double standards in the industry that allow him to get away with it 'Can you imagine the reactions if Rachel Zegler had said that?' asked another user, undoubtedly referencing the backlash Zegler received when she shared her opinions about the original Snow White movie being 'dated.' The upcoming Hunger Games film is set to be released on November 20, 2026, and explores the world of Panem about 24 years before Katniss Everdeen's story. As of right now, the franchise includes five books and six movies, the most recent release being The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes movie which was released in 2023. And with Sunrise on the Reaping being not too far away, fans are encouraging Culkin to get it together. 'Lower expectations... this is the f**king hunger games... not your little Saturday Night Live monologue..... READ THE BOOKS AND GET THE F**K TO WORK,' another user said.
