July 29 (UPI) — Actress and media mogul Oprah Winfrey says her A Wrinkle in Time co-star Mindy Kaling revealed to her she is pregnant just before Winfrey spoke to reporters at Disney’s D23 expo earlier this month.
“That’s when she told me. My mouth dropped,” Winfrey told People magazine. “‘What did you just say?’ She said: ‘Oh, Oprah, I don’t think you know. I’m five months pregnant.’ And I said, ‘WHAAAAT?!’ That was it, and we just kept smiling. And then I said to [Reese Witherspoon], ‘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.’ … I’m excited for her.”
E! News was the first to report that “The Mindy Project” star and “The Office” alum is expecting her first child, but the actress and writer has not publicly announced her pregnancy.
The identity of the baby’s father has so far been kept private.
