Mindy Kaling shares photos with B.J. Novak
Mindy Kaling caused a stir among fans over the weekend when she posted a series of photos on Instagram featuring B.J. Novak.
In an Instagram post on July 13, the actress gave fans a glimpse into a night that included dinner at her favorite Ethiopian restaurant in Los Angeles. This was followed by a home movie screening of The Princess Bride with her two eldest children and Novak. While Kaling’s caption focused on the film and her kids’ reactions, it was Novak’s appearance in the post that immediately caught fans’ attention.
The carousel of photos began with Kaling posing outside Meals by Genet alongside Novak and the restaurant owner. She then shared details about their post-dinner plans, revealing that they introduced The Princess Bride to her children, Katherine and Spencer, for the first time.
The actress wrote, “Kit was obsessed with Inigo Montoya’s vengeance plot (shocking) and Spencer loved the Fire Swamp and the R.O.U.S.s.” Kaling also joked about changing her childhood crush. She wrote, “As a kid I was obsessed with @caryelwes and now I’m kind of a @mandypatinkin gal! Aging! Have a great Sunday everyone.”
Though her post focused on her family night and love for the 1987 classic, social media users were focused on Novak’s presence. Comments started speculating about their relationship status, with one user writing, “Tell me you’re together without telling me you’re together.”
Kaling and Novak’s friendship dates back to 2004 when they met on the set of The Office and dated before breaking up in 2007. Although they haven’t been romantically involved in years, they have remained close friends, with Novak being godfather to Kaling’s children.
