Happy Birthday, Mindy Kaling! See the Actress's Cutest Photos with Her 3 Kids, Katherine, Spencer and Anne

The 'Not Suitable for Work' creator, who turns 47 on June 24, 2026, is the proud mom of son Spencer and two daughters, Katherine "Kit" and Anne

Mindy Kaling excels at every role she takes on — whether that's acting, producing, screenwriting, penning a book or being a mother of three kids.

The Mindy Project star is the mom to Katherine "Kit" Swati, Spencer Avu, and Anne. Although Kaling remains adamant about not sharing her children's faces on social media until they are old enough to consent, it hasn't stopped the mom of three from posting adorable snaps of her kids in their everyday lives.

"I'm like any parent where I'm proud of the things they do," the actress explained to PEOPLE in a 2021 interview. "I think they're so cute, and of course, I want other people to see it."

On her 47th birthday, June 24, 2026, see all the glimpses Kaling has given into her life at home, from stargazing to trick-or-treating on Halloween.

Terrific 2s

She marked Anne's second birthday in February 2026 with a heartfelt Instagram post gushing over her "Annie girl."

"She is the top of the Christmas tree, a surprise bite of cookie dough, the baby of the family who made us complete," wrote the actress. "She loves to sing, wake up with very specific outfit plans, and kisses the pages of her books. She truly believes Elmo is a member of our family. Happy 2nd birthday to our Tiny Jones as @souljagirlllll calls her, little Ponyo, literally the best ever."
