MINDY KALING'S SECRET ROMANCE EXPOSED?!

TheScholarlyNote.com has got the scoop on Mindy Kaling's latest Instagram post that has sent fans into a frenzy! The 46-year-old actress, who recently flaunted her slim frame amid Ozempic rumors, posted a series of photos as she paid a visit to an Ethiopian restaurant in L.A. with none other than her rumored baby daddy, BJ Novak!

As you'd expect, social media users went wild when they spotted the pair cozied up next to each other - although their faces were cleverly cropped out of the frame! But eagle-eyed fans noticed that BJ was sporting the same dark navy pants as he wore in another photo Kaling shared earlier. Coincidence? We think not!

She included a picture as she watched The Princess Bride later at home, but social media users were quick to point out that she was seemingly cozied up next to Novak - although she did not show their faces

For those who may be living under a rock, Mindy and BJ have a long history together - they starred on The Office and previously dated amidst filming the series. Despite their split, the pair have maintained a close friendship over the years, with some fans speculating that BJ could even be the father of her kids! And let's not forget, he's the godfather to her two eldest children!

Kaling's post included a selfie as she gazed down at the camera while rocking a sleeveless vest and flashy gold jewelry. But it was the photo of her snuggled up next to Novak that really got fans talking! "Not me seeing the first slide then going back to the first slide to see what color pants BJ was wearing," one fan quipped. Another joked, "Mindy to herself: how can I really support this restaurant... I know, post with BJ, then also post snuggled up with him on the couch! They'll go crazy!"

Some fans are convinced that Novak's cameo in Kaling's Instagram post is a soft launch - and we can't blame them! After all, the pair have a history of keeping their personal lives under wraps. But one thing's for sure: this latest development has sent the internet into a frenzy!
