Mindy Kaling is celebrating her 45th birthday by announcing that she secretly welcomed her third child earlier this year.

Kaling revealed on Monday, June 24, that she quietly welcomed her third baby, a daughter, sharing photos on Instagram of her eldest children (daughter Katherine and son Spencer), kissing their baby sister, along with a photo from her pregnancy where she showed off her baby bump, and a picture of Kaling at the hospital preparing to give birth as her oldest kids sit on her bed.

Kaling wrote in the caption: “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!”

Kaling also kept her previous pregnancies under wraps, beginning with daughter Katherine who was born in December 2017. Kaling, has kept her kids’ paternity private, and hid her second pregnancy from the public as well, announced her son Spencer’s birth in October after giving birth one month prior.
