Mindy Kaling has given birth and revealed her baby's VERY classic name
Congratulations!
The Mindy Project creator and star Mindy Kaling has given birth to her first child and revealed her super classic name.
According to E! News the 38-year-old actress gave birth to a little girl last Friday (15th December) and named her baby Katherine.
Mindy's pregnancy was accidentally first revealed in July by her Wrinkle In Time co-star Oprah Winfrey. However Mindy wasn’t angry and instead saw the funny side as she told Ellen DeGeneres on her show in October, "If anyone is going to announce big news about your private life, Oprah Winfrey is the person.
"You can’t complain that much about it. And you also can’t be like, 'Hey, Oprah, zip it,' because she’s almost like a religious figure."

Mindy has refused to identify the father of her child since confirming her pregnancy, with sources telling PEOPLE magazine that not even her closest friends know.
She was single at the time of falling pregnant and is notoriously private about her love life. In the past, she’s been linked to her The Office co-star B.J. Novak, who she dated between 2005-2007 on and off, and writer Benjamin Nugent, who she was linked to between 2008-2012.
Speaking on the Today show, she said, "I'd like to be the fun mom, I know I'm gonna be the dorky mom. So if I can be kind of fun too, I think that would be nice." sic
The new mum has a busy year ahead as Mindy will be starring in the new film Ocean's 8, due out in 2018. Yesterday the first trailer for the film was released. Mindy is joined by an all-star cast including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and James Corden amongst others.
Ocean's 8 is a spin-off from the Ocean's Trilogy (2001-2007) starring George Clooney as Danny Ocean, Debbie's (Sandra Bullock) estranged brother.
There are also plenty of celebrity cameos in the film including Kim Kardashian West, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Zayn Malik, Katie Holmes, Serena Williams, Adriana Lima, Derek Blasberg and even Anna Wintour will appear!
