B.J. Novak remains silent when it comes to his personal life, but the friendship between the actor from «The Office» and former colleague and friend Mindy Kaling has long been a topic of discussion. They parted ways many years ago, but their friendly and witty remarks about each other have sparked interest among fans, as some wonder if B.J. and Mindy could reconcile. However, there are no signs that B.J. and Mindy are dating. So, does B.J. have someone new in his life, like a girlfriend or wife?
Below, Hollywood Life has gathered everything we know about B.J.'s romantic history, including his past relationship with Mindy.
No, B.J. is not currently married.
B.J. and Mindy met on the set of «The Office» in 2004. They dated briefly in 2007 before parting ways, but they have remained close friends ever since. In fact, the friends have shared kind words about each other at public events, and B.J. is the godfather of one of Mindy’s children.
At the 2023 Producers Guild Awards ceremony, B.J. recalled how he and Mindy were «in love with each other, and we were reckless idiots, and we would constantly fight about it — stopping the writers' room until we got mad, and we’d go to our offices and slam the door, where we’d continue to fight over AOL and instant messages». Then he joked, «That was in 2005».
Although B.J. described his romance with Mindy as a «turbulent, romantic, toxic, boundless mess», - he noted that the producers of «The Office» noticed it and offered them roles together because they were «pretty funny».
«There was no way out except through this», - he said. «We made it or we didn’t, we went through it. Almost 200 episodes of 'The Office' together, 24 of them written by Mindy, much more than any other writer on staff. And our conversation never stopped».
At the time, Mindy recalled how she became interested in B.J. when they worked together, which «turned out great», - adding, «He has remained my closest friend throughout my entire career. He has seen all the ups and downs, and that is a huge joy for me. I am so lucky that my favorite writer is also my best friend, I love you».
Two years later, B.J. honored Mindy at the Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony in early 2025.
According to various sources, B.J. once dated Molly Hurwitz, but the exact timeline of their romantic relationship is unknown. Molly was also romantically linked to the late actor Matthew Perry
