How Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli’s Divorce Brought Their Family Closer Together
The Office‘s notable on-and-off pairing has continued to intrigue fans even after the series ended in 2013, with Kaling acknowledging why people still ship them. “If I was on the outside looking at it, I would think the same thing,” she said in a 2019 interview with GoodHousekeeping.com, referring to naming him as the godparent of her eldest child.
