The Celebrity Lie Of Single-Mom Life As Glamorous And Empowering
Mindy Kaling went on a publicity tour last year, speaking with multiple publications about how “empowering” it was to choose the path of solo motherhood.
Mindy welcomed her daughter in 2017 and welcomed her son in late 2020 as a professional, single woman choosing to raise her children without a father. Kaling has prided herself on being a hardworking single mother raising her kids on her own. “I hope you find a partner if that's what you want, but if you are thinking about having kids, and you are waiting for that to be the reason, I just want to encourage you to not feel like you need that. It has been the biggest difference in my life. It's brought me the most unadulterated joy in my life. If I hadn't made that decision, I would be kicking myself,” the actress told Parents magazine. She also added that she’s raising her children as feminists.
