If you’re a true fan of “The Office,” and actually care about the characters in the show (I mean all of them, not just Jim and Pam, you devil worshipers), then you’ll know the on again/off again romance between Kelly and Ryan the temp was hella important to the storyline. Sure, it was just when both Mindy Kaling and BJ Novak’s careers were taking off, and Kelly was kind of obnoxious sometimes, but nonetheless–we loved them. While the two have been extremely close on screen and off, they have said several times in the spotlight that they are not dating. And, while Kaling recently gave birth to her first child, Katherine, we’re still unsure of who the father is, as well. We do know that Kaling and Novak are “best friends”–even though, we all wish they would just date in real life.
After “The Office,” Kaling went on to have a vibrantly successful show in “The Mindy Project,” and, BJ Novak even helped her with writing for the show for a while. The two remain, close friends, out of the spotlight, as Kaling even posted this photo calling Novak her “best friend.”

And, on the red carpet, the two couldn’t possibly look more perfect for each other.
After fans saw them together, they couldn’t hold back their excitement for a true Kelly/Ryan IRL reunion (kiss already!!!!!)
BJ Novak is Mindy's date tonight. THE SOUP SNAKES ARE HITTING THE RED CARPET.

Mindy Kaling is literally glowing at the oscars party plus she’s with BJ Novak which, so far, is the highlight of the night for me. #Oscars2018
