B.J. Novak on Mindy Kaling’s Kids Nickname for Him
B.J. Novak Shares Secret to Decades-Long Friendship With Mindy Kaling
There’s nothing B.J. Novak won’t du-o for Mindy Kaling’s kids.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 actor, who is godfather to his Office costar’s three kids Katherine “Kit” Swati Kaling, 8, Spencer Tracy Kaling, 5, and Anne Kaling, 2, recently revealed the gift that earned him an adorable nickname.
“Kit nicknamed me FoFo, which is based on a Duolingo For Kids character—the bear FoFo,” B.J. explained on the April 20 episode of Watch What Happens: Live with Andy Cohen. “So I got her a FoFo stuffed animal for her collection, and that hit the spot.”
Mindy, who has kept the identity of her kids’ father private, and B.J. have often given insight into his bond with her three little ones, with the Mindy Project star previously calling B.J. an “important and integral part of my family.” In fact, that close dynamic has left some wondering if BJ, whom the Running Point creator has been BFFs with since dating in 2007, is really their dad.
