The 'Office' star shared photos of her three children, including her latest addition, in an Instagram post, revealing that her daughter Anne was born in late February.

Actor Mindy Kaling revealed in a sweet Instagram post that she had a baby earlier this year.

Many fans didn't realize that The Office star is now the mother of three children.


The 45-year-old screenwriter, comedian, and producer posted a photo of her first two kids, Katherine, born in December 2017, and Spencer, born in September 2020, cozying up with their newest addition to the family, Anne.

They snuggled together on a comfy blanket laid out on a lawn that appeared to be Kaling's backyard.

Her post on Monday also coincided with her birthday, June 24.

She expressed gratitude for having the flexibility and control to announce the exciting news on her terms when she was ready.

Kaling wrote in the caption:

"In late February I gave birth to my daughter, Anne. 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!"


The carousel of photos also included her when she was still expecting, cradling her baby bump with one hand while posing inside her walk-in closet.

A third photo showed Kaling at the hospital, presumably after delivery, with Katherine and Spencer accompanying mommy at the foot of the hospital bed.

Kaling has kept the identity of her children's father a secret.

She and Office co-star B. J. Novak dated on and off while working together on the long-running NBC sitcom and have remained close friends.

Novak is the godfather to Katherine and Spencer.
