After weeks of speculation, has Oprah let the cat out of the bag?

Reports have been suggesting for weeks that Mindy Kaling is expecting her first child.

With the actress yet to confirm the rumours, there was no solid proof of the news… until now.

Oprah Winfrey, who is working with Mindy on the film A Wrinkle In Time, told People about how she apparently heard the news – and it was from Kaling herself.

“My mouth dropped,” Winfrey said of the moment she was told. “’What did you just say?’ she said, ‘Oh, Oprah, I don’t think you know. I’m five months pregnant.’ And I said ‘WHAAATT?!’

“That was it, and we just kept smiling,” Winfrey continues. “And then I said to [Reese], ‘Did you know?’ and she said, ‘I just found out, too.’ And then I said to [“Wrinkle” director Ava DuVernay], ‘Did you know?’ And she said, ‘I just found out.’”

Well, looks like Mindy kept that quiet from everyone.
