No. Kaling does not currently have a boyfriend, she confirmed during a May 2026 interview with Bustle. She told the outlet that she’s embracing singledom despite having previously wanted a life partner so badly.
“It is crazy for someone like me, who only wrote about the pursuit of romance for so much of my life, to be very happy and content without a partner,” she said.
Kaling briefly dated Novak, her co-star on The Office and frequent collaborator on The Mindy Project, before dating Benjamin Nugent from 2008 to 2012.
