Mindy Kaling welcomes first child, a baby girl

Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Mindy Kaling has given birth to her first child, a daughter named Katherine Kaling.

Kaling welcomed her baby girl on Friday, E! News reported. The identity of the baby's father has still not been revealed. The private comedian is also not publicly linked to anyone romantically.

Kaling has yet to publicly comment on the birth of her daughter, but was seen taking a few days off on social media before returning to promote her upcoming films, A Wrinkle in Time and Ocean's 8.

The 38-year-old first confirmed her pregnancy in August in a preview for a September episode of Sunday Today with Willie Geist.

"It's so unknown to me," she said on the program about parenthood. "I have a lot of control over a lot of aspects of my life, and this is one where I'm like, 'Okay, it's out of my hands,' which is kind of a fun feeling."
