Keiling confirmed that she is not currently dating anyone

Kamala Kaling currently does not have a boyfriend, which she confirmed in an interview with Bustle in May 2026. She told the publication that she enjoys being alone, despite having previously dreamed of a life with a partner.

«It's crazy for someone who has written so much about seeking romance to be very happy and content without a partner», - she noted.

Kaling briefly dated Novak, her colleague from the series «The Office» and frequent co-writer on the project «The Mindy Project», - before starting a relationship with Benjamin Nugent from 2008 to 2012.

Novak and Kaling officially started dating in 2005 and broke up in 2007
