@mindykaling jokes that she doesn’t make many conscious parenting decisions (“we’re just getting by”) but she does, for now, have a few guiding principles: She won’t post pictures of her kids on social media and she won’t discuss their conception stories. ⁠ ⁠ Kaling isn’t trying to be secretive or press-shy. She simply wants to safeguard their privacy, give her kids a chance to learn and tell their own stories in their own time. While this decision has led to a fair share of public speculation about who the father of her kids is, Kaling stands by it. “I'm the only parent my kids have...I think I err on the side of super cautious so that there's less things that they can potentially be mad at me about down the line.” Tap the link in bio for the full interview with Marie Claire's Wellness Issue cover star.⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @kanyaiwana⁠ Writer/Entertainment Director: @nehapk⁠ Editor-in-Chief: @sallyholmes⁠ Art Director: @b_h___b⁠ Stylist: @hayley_atkin_⁠ Style Assistant: @jennaremy ⁠ Hair: @marcmena⁠ Makeup: @janicekinjo⁠ Manicure: @ajax_jachno⁠ Producer: @david_r.l._ & @dualphocus
