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!

    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?

    [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.

    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? ; )

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

  31. TonySheridan says

    Mindy Kaling and Cuba Gooding, Jr?

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

  32. ccincanada says

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

  33. ccincanada says

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

  34. itsmejen says

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

  37. avalonlee says

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

  38. MinnieMe says

    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?

  39. kflores says

    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”

  42. Spottedleaf says

    Mindy Kailing + Cuba Gooding Jr.

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

  43. ivy3499 says

    Mindy Kaling
    Cuba Gooding Junior
    Clues: office water cooler, show me the “money”

  44. SugarCookie says

    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

  45. pigerella says

    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.

  46. Sarahh182 says

    Actor: Cuba Gooding jr?

    Actress: Definitely Mindy Kaling

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

  49. jamiedc78 says

    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

  50. gc02ef says

    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?

  53. Blackorchid85 says

    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?

  58. lealoo says

    January Jones & Sean Penn

    Sean & Robin separated in 2010 and January had Xander in 2011.

  59. amala83 says

    Actor: Cuba Gooding, Jr

    Actress: Mindy Kaling

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

  61. radmom says

    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.

  62. aaaPanda says

    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.

  64. tellmemore says

    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.

  65. aaahigby says

    Actor: Cuba Gooding Jr

    Actress: Mindy Kaling

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

  66. pharmchick says

    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

  72. Neduardo says

    Sean Penn

    January Jones

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

    No idea!

  75. musicbox says

    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

  85. whateverwillbe14 says

    Cuba Gooding Jr
    Mindy Kaling

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

  88. asap_cams says

    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.

  91. GingerNaps says

    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….).

  93. funkyhomosapien says

    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.

  98. kellykapoor4ever says

    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.

  100. missluv60 says

    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
