BJ Novak dating Delaney Rowe? Fans express disbelief: ‘Thought he was married to Mindy Kaling this whole time'
The Office co-stars B.J. Novak and Mindy Kaling had an on-and-off relationship off-screen that mirrored their beloved characters. Although they've long spoken about their now-platonic love for each other, fans have continued to root for them as a couple. However, a new report from People has left the internet stunned: B.J. Novak is reportedly dating TikTok star Delaney Rowe. (Also Read: Mindy Kaling reacts to rumours that BJ Novak is her children's biological father: 'It it hasn't affected my happiness')
Romance rumours between B.J. Novak and Delaney Rowe first surfaced in December 2024 when the two were spotted together at the Bowery Hotel in New York City, according to Deuxmoi. Delaney, a popular content creator, rose to fame for her 'cringe comedy' sketches. One of her most viral videos featured a monologue from the perspective of the 'absolutely insufferable female lead of an indie movie.' Her content often parodies media tropes like the Manic Pixie Dream Girl or women written by male screenwriters. She also appeared in the 2023 film The List.
After reports of the romance surfaced, fans took to the internet in disbelief. 'I thought he was married to Mindy Kaling this whole time,' one person wrote. Another added, 'Somebody check on Mindy Kaling.' Others chimed in with, 'STOP. Really? I love Delaney, but does this mean that he and Mindy were… never?' and 'This is impossible because he's married to Mindy Kaling, obvy.' One of the fans wrote, "I refuse to believe this. Someone call Mindy." Another said, "STOP. Really? I love Delaney, but does this mean that he and Mindy were… never?"
Mindy and Novak dated on and off while working on The Office but have maintained a close friendship ever since. In a 2022 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Mindy spoke about their bond, saying Novak is 'a wonderful friend and the godparent of both my kids.' She added, "He's really part of our family, but we've known each other for a long, long time and I think anyone who's been friends with someone for 18, 19 years and at one point dated and now doesn't, they maybe understand this. You have exes that you wouldn't necessarily marry now." The pair have continued to support each other personally and professionally, collaborating on projects and appearing together at red carpet events.

Is Kobe Bryant's widow Vanessa Bryant dating NBA star Jaylen Brown? New speculations go viral after pregnancy rumour
Social media is buzzing once again with a new wave of rumours surrounding Vanessa Bryant—and this time, it's not about a pregnancy. A series of recent online posts have linked the late Kobe Bryant's widow to NBA star Jaylen Brown, raising eyebrows across platforms. But is there actually anything going on, or is this just another baseless online frenzy? Viral collages stir up Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown dating rumours In the past few days, fan accounts and gossip pages have flooded social media, including Facebook, X, and TikTok, with side-by-side images of Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown. So far, neither Vanessa nor Brown has said a word about the chatter, and no outlet has confirmed any relationship between them. This isn't the first time Vanessa's love life has become internet fodder. Earlier this year, anonymous posts claimed she was seeing a 27-year-old NBA player, though no name was ever attached. Because Brown, now 28, fits that general description, many fans have retrofitted the rumour to him. Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown possibilities Just like the pregnancy rumour, this may be fake too Not long ago, Vanessa had to deal with another false narrative: a rumour that she was expecting a child. The speculation started after a photo of her, which shows she has seemingly gained some weight, circulated online. It didn't take long for clickbait pages to claim she looked 'pregnancy glowing.' The rumour gained enough traction that Vanessa stepped in herself and shut it down — but in her own sassy way. Taking to her Instagram Stories last week, she posted a gif of Rihanna lounging in a pool, drink in hand, casually flipping off the camera. Along with the clip, Vanessa wrote, 'Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.' She followed it up with another meme featuring Rihanna, this one reading, 'I'm not mean, I'm just not the one.' With just a couple of posts, Vanessa made it known that the rumours were false—and that she wasn't in the mood to entertain any more of them. No confirmation, just speculation To be clear, there's no official confirmation or solid evidence that Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown are dating. They haven't been seen together in any intimate setting, and neither has posted anything that would suggest a romantic connection. Fans may be speculating based on minimal context, but without a statement or solid proof, it's all hearsay. Vanessa has remained extremely private about her personal life, especially following the tragic loss of Kobe and their daughter Gianna in 2020. She's focused on her family, philanthropic work, and keeping her late husband's legacy alive. Jaylen Brown, while a public figure on the court, is known to keep his personal matters relatively low-key as well. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.

Viral video claims Jeff Bezos shut down Fifth Avenue to move furniture: 'Amazon Prime for billionaires'
A viral video claimed that a portion of the iconic Fifth Avenue in Manhattan was shut down as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos reportedly had furniture delivered to his penthouse on the Upper East Side. In a video posted on TikTok, business owner Raffi Arslanian shared footage of a massive crane hoisting what appeared to be furniture to the top floor of a towering building at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 26th Street. Arslanian, who owns the luxury candle brand Thompson Ferrier, captured caution tape, barricades, and moving trucks occupying the street below. As he walked by, he zoomed in on the crane's top, showing a large, wrapped item suspended by a rope. Several workers were seen managing traffic as the item was hoisted toward the 24-story building known as 212 Fifth Avenue, where Bezos reportedly owns five apartments worth $119 million, according to the New York Post. 'You want to see how Jeff Bezos delivers his furniture? Let me show you,' Arslanian said in the video. 'Look at that crane. He owns the top floors there. Today is the day he is getting furniture delivered. I think we all can relate to this.' 'I don't know what he is doing but there are more cranes here. He has got monster cranes. There are police escorts here. This is once-in-a-lifetime thing I am showing you. Now back to reality, where, when we move, we get a U-Haul and we do it ourselves but we don't close the street,' he joked. The clip has since gone viral, racking up millions of views. Social media users were quick to chime in, cracking jokes and speculating on the cost of such an extravagant operation. 'Amazon Prime delivery, billionaire subscription,' quipped one user. 'We would all do the same if we had 100 billion dollars,' said another. 'When you're Jeff Bezos, even a whole street takes a coffee break just to move your couch,' joked a third.
