Mindy Kaling has become a mother for the third time. She gave birth to daughter Anne at the end of February, Kaling announced on Instagram.

"She's the best birthday present I could have ever imagined," the actress wrote. She herself celebrated her 45th birthday on Monday.

Numerous followers congratulated her on Instagram, including actresses Reese Witherspoon and Julianne Moore.

Mindy keeps father a secret
Kaling posted several photos. One shows the baby on a cushion in the garden, surrounded by his two siblings Katherine (6) and Spencer (3). In other photos, the actress can be seen with a clear baby bump - as well as in a hospital bed together with her two older children.

Kaling has not yet revealed the father of the three children. She considers herself so lucky to live in a place where she can do this on her own, the actress wrote on Instagram.

Kaling, who became famous with the series "The Office" and "The Mindy Project", among others, has also starred in films such as "Almost Married", "The Time Puzzle" and "Ocean's 8".
