Mindy Kaling, Indian American actress and author known for The Mindy Project and The Office announced she gave birth to her second child last month, USA Today reports.
Kaling, 41, revealed the news of her birth and the name of her baby, Spencer, Thursday during her appearance on Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
“I’m telling it for the first time now, it feels so strange. But I gave birth to a baby boy on September 3,” Kaling told the late night host.
Kaling said the birth is news to a lot of people, and this is indeed true — especially because she has been posting her outfits on Instagram where she did not look visibly pregnant.
Kaling is already a mother to a two-year-old named Katherine. She gave birth to her first child in December 2017. While she has shared photos of Katherine on social media, she has kept her child’s privacy and yet to show her face.

Kaling also said she always knew she wanted children, but that she put it off for a long time. She said she was glad her first pregnancy “happened when it did.”
“I’ve seen firsthand the heartbreak of women who have waited to get pregnant,” she told Glamor. “For me, my relationship with my mother was such an integral part of my life. Thinking back on our relationship is still such a huge source of my happiness day to day, so I’m so grateful for having Katherine.”
