Mindy Kaling is embracing life with her new baby, Anne, who is now five months old. The beloved star of “The Office” recently took to Instagram to offer fans a rare glimpse of her youngest child during their Fourth of July celebrations.
In a heartfelt photo carousel, Mindy captioned the images: “A sandy/salty skin/no makeup/freezing cold perfect waves/lots of sunscreen/frosting/outside for hours kind of Independence Day.” The photos captured the essence of a perfect family day, filled with joy and simplicity.
One of the standout images featured Mindy with baby Anne sitting on her lap. Anne, with her full head of hair, was dressed in white and blue stripes. Although Anne’s face was hidden from the camera, Mindy’s radiant smile in the sunlight spoke volumes about her happiness.
The comedian also shared moments with her other children, six-year-old Katherine Swati and three-year-old Spencer Avu. The siblings were seen playing together on the lawn, and another clip showed them walking down craggy rocks towards the waves at the beach.
A particularly touching moment was captured in a clip where baby Anne grasped Mindy’s thumb with her tiny fingers as they sat in the sun on the sandy banks. The family seemed to be enjoying the sun, sitting on a deck chair close to the waves. Another shot revealed that Mindy and her children had enjoyed decorating cupcakes together, adding a sweet touch to their holiday celebrations.
Mindy revealed the arrival of her third child, Anne, in a heartfelt post celebrating her 45th birthday on June 24. She shared a photo of her two eldest children lying next to the newborn, along with a picture of her baby bump and one of her sitting in a hospital bed with Katherine and Spencer.
“In late February, I gave birth to my daughter, Anne. She’s the best birthday present I could’ve ever imagined,” Mindy wrote. She added, “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!”
Mindy has always kept the paternity of her children private, although her ex-boyfriend B.J. Novak is the godfather to Katherine and Spencer. Despite their on-and-off relationship while writing and acting on “The Office,” they have remained close friends.
Mindy’s journey into motherhood has been a private yet joyous one. She welcomed her first child, Katherine, in December 2017, and it wasn’t until November of the following year that she shared a photo of her baby girl on Instagram. In October 2020, she surprised fans by announcing that she had secretly welcomed a baby boy named Spencer a month prior.
“I’m telling this for the first time, it feels so strange. I gave birth to a baby boy on September 3,” she revealed during an appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” “This is news to a lot of people. It’s true!”
Mindy’s latest surprise came in June 2024 when she announced the birth of her third child, Anne, in February of that year. “When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life,” she wrote on social media.
Over the years, Mindy has shared glimpses of her children, capturing precious moments that highlight the joys of motherhood. From waiting for Santa in matching pajamas to twinning on lazy Sundays, Mindy’s posts reflect the love and happiness she finds in her family.
In December 2021, she wrote on Instagram about taking stock of the good things in life. “I’m grateful I can walk with my daughter on a beach in late December picking up shells and then going back inside the house for dinner. Acknowledging the enormous amount I have to be grateful for makes me actually feel content,” she shared.
Mindy’s journey as a mother continues to inspire her fans, offering a glimpse into the beautiful, albeit private, world she has created for her children. Her posts serve as a reminder of the simple joys and pure love that come with raising a family.
