Mindy Kaling has made B.J. Novak godfather to her daughter.
The ‘Mindy Project’ star has revealed she has made her ‘The Office’ co-star a godfather to her 16-month-old daughter Katherine, as she opened up about the close "platonic" bond they have.
She told GoodHousekeeping.com: "If I was on the outside looking at it, I would think the same thing. But the truth is that B.J. is so much more like family now than a platonic friend. He’s the godfather to my daughter, he comes over like once a week. Sometimes he’ll come over just to hang out with her. It’s a real staple in my household.
"In the ‘When Harry Met Sally’ version of platonic friends, I too think that’s strange. But when you’ve known someone for as long as I’ve known him – the time that we met each other, which was like 24. Now, we’re both almost 40. It’s such a long time that he truly is just a part of my family."
Mindy previously described her relationship with B.J. as "weird as hell."
The actress – who previously admitted she would have married the actor if he’d asked her before they split almost 10 years ago – said: "I will freely admit: My relationship with B.J. Novak is weird as hell. He is not my boyfriend, but he is not my best friend. I guess you could describe our relationship as a ‘romantically charged camaraderie with loud arguments,’ but I don’t think Facebook would accept this as a new status."
