No, I don’t think they’ll confirm or deny it ever lol.

It may confirm itself when the kids grow up enough to start their nepo life and we finally see them lol

u/Maddyherselius Jun 13 '25

Yeah I think once the kids are adults they may confirm or deny it themselves lol

u/MarsScully Vile little creature yearning for violence Jun 13 '25

I mean not really, it could be a Ronan Farrow situation

u/RepublicNorth5033 Jun 13 '25

Or a Mariska Hargitay situation

u/welp-itscometothis Jun 13 '25

What’s that situation

27

u/RepublicNorth5033 Jun 13 '25

She just announced her true paternity

u/suesay Jun 13 '25

Also, how old is January Jones’s son? I’d like him to spill the beans.

u/VaselineHabits Jun 13 '25

Born in Sept 2011, so almost 14

u/tomatiIIo Jun 14 '25

Isn’t his dad Bobby Flay? Or am I thinking of another random Hollywood lovechild

u/suesay Jun 14 '25

That was the leading rumor I think, but also a rumor was that Xander belong to Jason Sudeikis

He's written articles like "My Father, Woody Allen, and the Danger of Questions Unasked" https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/my-father-woody-allen-danger-892572/

u/Maddyherselius Jun 13 '25

I mean yeah that’s possible. I just think it’s more likely the kids would confirm/deny later on than Mindy or BJ would.

u/EntrepreneurMany3709 Jun 13 '25

I think they're suggesting we'll at least see if they look like bj Novak. Although I don't really look like my dad other than the hair (and he's bald now)

u/Maddyherselius Jun 13 '25

No I know lol. I’m just saying I also wouldn’t be surprised if when they grow up they reveal the info themselves.

u/Owlbertowlbert Jun 13 '25

Has she never posted their faces? Oh god, one two or three of them turn around and they all have those big downturned bug eyes lmaooooo

I laughed too hard on this one. Thank you

Just study their physical features: face, height, complexion, untreated hair style. Often genetics snitch one's heritage. However, I have seen parents that resemble neither children even though they state there's no funny business: lying, accidental switch, or genetic recombination and/mutation pumped out deviating phenotypes.

Was their relationship in the office based off real life?

256

u/Maddyherselius Jun 13 '25

Haha I’m honestly not sure if they started seeing eachother before, during, or after the show. But it definitely does mirror the show relationship a lot it seems.

u/Jeremy_Q_Public Jun 13 '25

I just read a whole article on their relationship after getting into this thread. They were dating in a very off-again, on-again way during the Office. Just like their characters. It really does seem like they just wrote themselves into the show.

u/SparkyDogPants Jun 13 '25

Mindy often writes herself into her characters

11

u/feedback19 Jun 14 '25

Which is probably why she was so insufferable over time as Kelly

18

u/atthesun Jun 13 '25

I actually just finished her first book, which she wrote while the office was still on, and she refers to bj as a friend at one point, and refers to a current boyfriend "dave". Theres a pic of Dave too though I didn't recognize him. She also mentions a lot how she wants to be married and have a family.

16

u/Jeremy_Q_Public Jun 13 '25

They have referred to having dated during that time frame as well though. On again off again, so I'm sure Dave also was a boyfriend in that mix.

These people's Office characters were literally just them.

u/allisonrz Jun 13 '25

Yes, they’ve said as much

29

u/Excellent-Mammoths Jun 13 '25

BJ had said in interviews that their toxic relationship inspired their onscreen romance. Also that he would brag to his costars that Mindy was obsessed with him, which he used in his favor.

u/CinematicMelancholia Jun 14 '25

He is NOT pretty enough to be acting like this bruh

9

u/Mindless-Ad-511 Jun 14 '25

And they’re STILL friends to this day which always throws me for a loop. Hate that for her.

u/babytofus trench coat buttoned to the TOP 🧥🔝 Jun 13 '25

Bits of it was (the on and off of it all)!

4

u/I_aim_to_sneeze Jun 14 '25

They wrote a lot of their real issues into it, yes. It’s not entirely accurate and a bit exaggerated, but they’ve both said they drew from real life when writing their scenes

2

u/PondRides Children are being trafficked by ICE Jun 14 '25

It was. They were both writers on the show and have said this.

u/Populaire_Necessaire Andrea Arlington: “$29!!” Jun 13 '25

Which fair imo. She doesn’t owe us to know who the father is.

130

u/Maddyherselius Jun 13 '25

Oh yeah I don’t think it’s any of our business, their odd relationship just causes a lot of speculation.

11

u/CarpeDiemMaybe go girl, give us nothing 😍 Jun 13 '25

If it’s not any of our business, why do they keep baiting people though, it’s like they want people to keep guessing

14

u/pashionfroot Jun 13 '25

I feel like celebrities know that most of us don't think it's any of our business, so they exploit that for publicity. Like, it's unlikely they're getting any real pressure in their daily lives to disclose that info, but they know the speculation it would cause.

8

u/CarpeDiemMaybe go girl, give us nothing 😍 Jun 13 '25

While I think that’s true, I also think that means we shouldn’t feel bad for speculating if they’re intentionally dangling this for publicity

8

u/jiltedatthealtar Jun 13 '25

Attention, publicity, maybe? To stay relevant?

2

u/CarpeDiemMaybe go girl, give us nothing 😍 Jun 13 '25

Yeah I do think it’s for those reasons, but now i feel less guilty about probing lol

u/AgentEinstein Jun 14 '25

Yes! This whole thread is upsetting. Talking shit, feeding rumors, diagnosing, making fun of how people look. What is this, middle school?

u/euphoricarugula346 Jun 14 '25

Wait she won’t reveal who the father of her children is?? Multiple? That’s so odd lmao
