Kaling's Instagram post honoring Novak's 44th birthday reignited rumors that he's secretly the father of her children.

Here we go again!

Mindy Kaling just wished BJ Novak a happy birthday, so people are once again convinced that Novak is secretly the father of Kaling's two children.


The post that reignited those rumors was shared by Kaling who shared a selfie of the duo with the caption:

"Happy birthday, Uncle B! We love you! 🎉"

Although the two did date on and off over the course of a few years following the premiere of The Office and Novak is the godfather of her children, Kaling has always brushed off the rumors that her Office costar—as well as fellow writer, executive producer and director—is the father of her children.

But her public display of celebrating Novak's 44th birthday only added fuel to the fire.

Fans in the comments just weren't buying this "uncle" business.

While Kaling hasn't publicly shared the identity of the father of her daughter Katherine, 5, and son Spencer, 2, she does maintain that it's not Novak.

But that just isn't enough for the believers of this Office romance.

Ted Cruz's Epic Freudian Slip About 'Pedophiles' During Senate Speech Resurfaces—And Oof

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was widely mocked for an October video that resurfaced and showed him offering some bipartisan advice during a Senate hearing, only for his advice to go completely off the rails after an awkward "verbal slip" that made him look as if he was defending "pedophiles."

That's really not the best look considering what we know from the latest release of documents related to the Epstein files, which contain information about some of President Donald Trump's former friend and associate Jeffrey Epstein's most high-profile clients and enablers. The late disgraced financier was a convicted pedophile and sex trafficker.
