Many celebrities in the public eye are adamant about protecting their children’s identities while others seem to post unending Instagram pics of their new additions. However, the real reason why Mindy Kaling won’t say who fathered her kids may go beyond simple privacy.
Kaling told The New York Times that it all comes down to a commitment she made to her daughter. “My feeling is that until I speak to my daughter about that, I’m not going to talk to anyone else about it.”
Part of Kaling’s reluctance to share personal information about her first pregnancy may have also been because it caught her by surprise. “I wasn’t ready. I don’t think anyone is ever ready. I definitely knew I wanted kids, but the decision, it was not something that I had, like, planned,” per USA Today.
Though never married, Kaling is now revealing she may not see marriage in her future at all.
