Novak and Mindy Kaling’s friendshipis well established at this point.
The inseparable duo met while working on “The Office” back in 2004 and immediately hit it off.
We didn’t know.
Complicating matters, their onscreen characters dated at one stage on the show too.
During a subsequent chat withPeople, Kaling acknowledged their relationship is “weird as hell.”
She explained, “He is not my boyfriend, but he is not my best friend.
Novak had a special bond with Katherine, who was born in 2017.
“When he does that, I can go take a shower or go work out …
He’s great.”
The “Office” alum also spent Christmas with the mother-daughter duo.
In fact, Novak is actually the little girl’s godfather, as Kaling toldGood Housekeeping.
“The truth is that B.J.
is so much more like family now than a platonic friend,” she explained.
However, it’s not the case, even thoughKaling has yet to confirm who the father is.
For now, he’s just the godfather.
Novak carried out a sweet family tradition for Mindy Kaling’s kids
B.J.
is Jewish, so this is really …like cultural appropriation on our part.”
All kidding aside, though, Novak is committed to helping Kaling be the best mother she can be.
And he’s like ‘Oh, my God, don’t tempt me.'"
