The Coincidental Baby

[Blind Gossip] Here’s some gossip you’ll want to share around the office water cooler!

This actress, best known for a TV show that is now off the air, had a baby. She was very secretive about the identity of the baby’s father and has been raising the baby as a single mom.

In a separate story, an Academy Award-winning actor left his wife less than a year before the actress’ baby was born.

Why are we telling you these two stories in one blind item?

Well, the actress and the actor were recently spotted leaving a hotel in the early morning hours. Together.

While there was no public show of affection, you might want to put some money on the fact that the timing on all of this is more than coincidental!

    • Mindy Kaling and Cuba Gooding Jr
      Clues: office water cooler (again, not really sure of any other clues)

      Maybe just a hook up…I always thought maybe the baby was BJ Novak’s?

  8. Actor: Cuba Golding Jr
    Actress: Mindy Kaling
    Clues: No Oscar Guarantee was about him.
    [Optional] What do you think is going on between the two of them?
    Well… probably something romantical… Whatever, I wish them all the best, especially Mindy who’s such a nice and funny person, she deserves much happiness.

    • Mindy is obviously not a nice and funny person if she is messing around with a married man! There are people being hurt by Miss Not-so Nicey-Nice!!!

  9. Actor-Cuba Gooding Jr.-“put some money on it”, famous for “show me the money”
    Actress-Mindy Kaling- office cooler, famous for “The Office”

    What’s happening…professional meeting and wee hours of the a.m. was the only time they could meet up? ; )

  10. Actor: No idea

    Actress: January Jones

    Clues: January has been notoriously tight-lipped about her baby’s father, “around the water cooler” – January was in Mad Men

    [Optional] What do you think is going on between the two of them?

  15. Mindy Kaling and Cuba Gooding Jr

    Clue: “Office” = The Office, “Timing” = Wrinkle in Time

  17. Mindy Kaling and (plot twist!) Cuba Gooding Jr.
    Clues: Money – “show me the money!”

  18. Actor: No Clue
    Actress: Mindy Kaling
    Clues: Office water cooler = Mindy was on The Office,

  20. actress is definitely mindy kaling

    drawing a blank on the actor. surely not casey affleck?? mindy seems too liberal to try that

  27. Cuba Gooding Jr.
    Mindy Kaling
    “office” water cooler
    Put some money on (Show me the money)

  29. Mindy Kaling and Cuba Gooding, Jr?

    Juicy if true, but who knows at this point. Kid would be adorable, though!

  30. Actress: January Jones.
    Actor: no idea. It can’t be Ashton Kutcher. He divorced, but I don’t think he has an Oscar. hahha

    • Ashton divorced in 2011, the same year January announced her pregnancy. They dated previously.

  31. Weird pairing, but based on the clues, I’m going to say Mindy Kaling and Cuba Gooding Jr.

  34. Mindy whatever and Cuba Gooding. There’s an article about them out now speculating he is the father. Gross. Both of them.

  35. Actor?
    Mindy Kaling
    She’s a single mom. Her show went off the air last season . “Office” water cooler.
    What do you think is going on between the two of them?

  36. This one is odd, but…

    Actor: Cuba Gooding Jr.
    Actress: Mindy Kaling
    That’s the only one that fits the bill to me in terms of breakups and timing.

    Clues: “office” mentions for The Office, and “money” for Gooding’s most famous line “show me the money”

  39. Mindy Kailing + Cuba Gooding Jr.

    I’m… not sure…. I can’t see anything romantic between the two of them.

  41. Actor: Cuba Gooding Jr. Academy Award for Best Actor (Jerry Maguire -1996)
    Actress: Mindy Kaling & her secret baby
    They were spotted leaving a hotel in London together.
    Clues:
    “Office water cooler” = Mindy was in “The Office” as Kelly Kapoor
    “Show me the money”- Cuba’s famous line from Jerry Maguire
    T.V. show that is off the air = The Mindy Project

  42. probably wrong, but im going to say january jones and sean penn. yuckie!
    i dont get that guys appeal. i imagine him look like a hairless cat undressed. all wrinkly and withered.

  43. Actor: Cuba Gooding jr?

    Actress: Definitely Mindy Kaling

    If he’s the father.. that would be wild!

  46. Actor: Cuba Gooding Jr

    Actress: Mindy Kaling

    Clues: he’s an Oscar winner who recently left his wife
    They (C&M) were spotted leaving a hotel in London together

  47. Cuba Gooding Jr
    Mindy Kaling
    Clue is water cooler, for Jerry Maguire. Also, The Mindy Project just finished. Cuba and his wife divorced recently.

    I was secretly hoping BJ was the father, but this is a weird pairing. Is it possible he just offered to be a sperm donor, as she wanted a baby?

  50. Cuba Gooding Jr
    Mindy Kaling

    Clues: the office – She starred in the office
    Show of affection, money “show me the money”

    They’re both in London promoting projects so could be a coincidence?

  56. Actor: Cuba Gooding, Jr

    Actress: Mindy Kaling

    Clues: office, water cooler (The Office); money – show me the money (Jerry Maguire)

  58. January Jones and Bobby Flay. He got divorced right about the time her son was born, and his ex-wife said that he and January hooked up multiple times.

  59. Cuba Gooding Jr
    Mindy Kaling
    Clues: share around “The Office” water cooler, TV show off air (the office), timing (wrinkle in time), academy award (Jerry maguire). Probably missed some.

  60. Pure speculation: Felicia Day from Supernatural gave birth to her daughter in January 2017. Refused to say who the dad was.
    Casey Affleck split from his wife in September of 2016.

    If this is right, then wandering runs in the Affleck family, along with alcoholism and being a general twat.

  62. At first I thought this was about January Jones, but based on the related blind I’ll say Cuba Gooding Jr and Mindy Kaling.

    Clues: She’s mainly famous for The Mindy Project, which ended recently, and “put money on on it” refers to him shouting “Show me the money!” In Jerry Macguire.

  63. Actor: Cuba Gooding Jr

    Actress: Mindy Kaling

    Clues: “Office” cooler; “put money on”/”Show me the money”

  64. Juicy!!!!
    I can only think of Mindy Kaling for the girl, no clue on the guy- but it bums me out that the baby daddy might not be bj novak lol

  70. Sean Penn

    January Jones

    I only got the clues for January Jones – office cooler. Penn split from his wife in 2010.

    No idea!

  73. January Jones, son Xander born in Sept 2011. The only 2010 or 2011 divorce of an Oscar winner I can find is Sean Penn, who has oscars for Mystic River and Milk and divorced Robin Wright Penn in 2010 (though separated in 2009 so that may not work). Maybe the Oscar winner and wife reconciled or divorce not finalized for a few years?

    Still think Xander looks most like Jason Sudeikis

  84. Cuba Gooding Jr
    Mindy Kaling

    [Optional] I never would have put them two together.

  87. Mindy Kaling
    Cuba Gooding Jr.
    She’s been so quiet about the father of her baby and they were just spotted together leaving a London hotel.

    • I feel like ‘money’ is s clue, but Moneyball, Money Monster, All the Money in the World don’t have Academy Award Winners (I don’t think….).

  91. This is 100% January Jones.
    She was on Mad Men, a show about an ad agency. There are a couple of infanous watercooler scenes in the show. I forget who the Actor could be but I do remember it being shady how she was especially secretive about the father.

  96. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Mindy Kaling.

    Maybe they’re dating and I have to say I’m surprised. Definitely did not expect them to be a couple or even imagine that he could be the father of her baby. I’m team BJ and Mindy (soupsnakes!) all the way, though.

  98. cuba gooding jr
    mindy kaling
    academy award winning actor, put some money on the fact (show me the money – Jerry McGuire),
    actress very secretive about identity of baby’s father

  99. Actor: Cuba Gooding Jr.
    Actress: Mindy Kaling

    [Optional] What do you think is going on between the two of them?
    I thought B.J. Novak was the baby daddy but I’m not so sure anymore!
