Mindy Kaling Declines Reese Witherspoon's Blind Date Offer

In October 2025, Reese Witherspoon tried to set up her A Wrinkle in Time co-star Mindy Kaling on a blind date. However, the 46-year-old Mindy Kaling revealed that she turned down the offer, stating that "it's not time" for her to date at the moment.

Kaling explained that while she appreciated Witherspoon's thoughtfulness, she is not currently looking to get back into the dating pool. Mindy said she "didn't even look to see who it was" that Reese had in mind, as she is fairly content with her single status and focusing on other areas of her life.

The former Office star added that the idea of getting ready for a date, doing her hair and makeup, and "getting out there" made her laugh. Mindy seems to be embracing her independence and not feeling the pressure to find a romantic partner right now.
