News of Kaling's pregnancy broke in July, when her A Wrinkle in Time costar, Oprah Winfrey, let the secret slip. Of course, Kaling isn't mad at Oprah because you physically cannot be mad at Oprah.

"She did announce it," she told Ellen DeGeneres. "If anyone is going to announce big news about your private life, Oprah Winfrey is the person. You can’t complain that much about it. And you also can’t be like, 'Hey, Oprah, zip it'—because she’s almost like a religious figure."

Congratulations to Mindy and welcome to the world, baby Katherine.
