Mindy Kaling has revealed that she’s expecting a baby girl.
The actress was speaking to Ellen DeGeneres when she confirmed the news, and said, “I wanted to know way early. I’m having a girl.”
Although Mindy finally confirmed the news on The Ellen Show, Mindy’s Wrinkle in Time co-star Oprah Winfrey actually spilled the news to press last month.
“I had told Oprah and Reese [Witherspoon] on a movie we’re working on, Wrinkle in Time, and she announced it at press,” Mindy explained. “She was very excited.”
“At first it was like, ‘OK, if anyone was going to announce big news about your private life, Oprah Winfrey is the person.’
“You can’t complain that much about it. You also can’t be like, ‘Hey, Oprah, zip it.’ Because she’s almost like a religious figure.”
“I actually thought, ‘Well, ok, if there’s one person I have to tell my daughter about that revealed her existence to the world, Oprah’s pretty good. At a certain point, I was like, you can’t take it back, so I thought—there are worst things,” she added.
