Mindy shared a series of pics, including one of her two older children, a 6-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old son, kissing their new baby sister’s head while lying in the backyard.
Another showed The Mindy Project star cradling her very pregnant belly in a body-hugging tan dress with flowers on it.
A third pic captured Mindy smiling at her older kids, huddled in her hospital bed seemingly after she gave birth.
“In late February I gave birth to my daughter, Anne. She’s the best birthday present I could’ve ever imagined. When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life.

“I’m so lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timeline. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!” Mindy wrote in her caption.
Fans raced to the comments to share congratulatory messages for the star.
“Omg!! Congrats you sneaky girl you!!!” one person wrote.
“Wow! How amazing you were able to keep this quiet! Congratulations on your beautiful family,” said another.
“Wow! You are the master at controlling your socials! Congratulations,” remarked a third.
“Whaaaaat???!!!!! Girl, you’re the Queen of surprises! Congratulations to you and welcome to the world little Anne!” another shocked fan added.
Fans suspected that Mindy was expecting after noticing her seemingly hiding her belly in photos.
In January, the star shared a snap of her out to dinner with friends concealing her stomach with a loosely fitted sweater.
She also appeared to use the table to block her mid-section from the camera.

Mindy Kaling
“Mindy Kaling is pregnant again with baby number three and no one has noticed. Again lol,” one fan predicted in an online discussion about the pics.
“The only people I’ve seen notice are a couple of comments on the TMZ pics of her and BJ in Disneyland last month. Have to hand it to her she’s good at hiding it I guess,” they added, mentioning her BFF and The Office co-star BJ Novak.
“I went and looked at her Insta after reading this. She for sure has gained some weight since she got so skinny last year,” a third pointed out.
Mindy had previously been showing off her figure after dropping 40 pounds.
In March 2023, the comedian stunned wearing a bold white dress at the Academy Awards.
The ensemble had a corset-style bodice and cutouts below her chest, showcasing her toned physique after her dramatic weight loss.
Around the same time, the TV star flaunted her slimmer body in a tiny red bikini on Instagram while promoting her new swimwear line.
