Kaling, a television creator behind shows like \"Never Have I Ever\" and \"The Sex Lives of College Girls,\" revealed in an Instagram post last month marking her 45th birthday that she had welcomed Anne in February.

\"She’s the best birthday present I could’ve ever imagined,\" she wrote in the caption of that post. \"When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life. I’m so lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timeline.\"
