Mindy Kaling rejected recent date set up by Reese Witherspoon

Mindy Kaling is single

Mindy Kaling recently turned down a date set up by Reese Witherspoon.

The 46-year-old actress quickly put a stop to fellow actress Reese, 49, trying to play matchmaker because Mindy is not looking for love right now.

Mindy - who previously dated 46-year-old actor B.J. Novak - said on a recent episode of the One Nightstand podcast: “Once pretty recently, Reese Witherspoon wanted to set me up with somebody.

“And I didn’t even look to see who it was. I didn’t laugh in her face because I love her, and I love that she was thinking of me in that way.

“But I just thought, ‘It’s not time.’ But I laughed at the idea of doing my hair, putting on makeup and getting out there.”

The Mindy Project alum has two daughters, Katherine, seven, Anne, 19 months, and a five-year-old son, Spencer - and their godfather is B.J.

And the comedienne said dating would not work at the moment because she would be away from her bundles of joy - whom their father has never been named - and is always travelling for work.

Mindy said: “I have three kids under the age of seven, so for me to want to leave them, especially when I travel for work a lot, just, you know.”

Elsewhere, Mindy has previously recalled her most embarrassing date - a man who did not think they were on a date.

The Office star shared on Reddit: "The worst date I've ever been on was with a guy who I was super excited about, really attracted to, and then on the date it became apparent that it WASN'T a date.

"He was just a straight dude who was psyched to have dinner with me in a platonic way. He talked about an actress he really wanted to date, and we split the check.

"This is dating in Los Angeles.”
