Romance speculation first sparked in late 2024 when Novak and Rowe were spotted together at the Bowery Hotel in New York City, and again at The Official How Long Gone After Party in November.
Delaney Rowe, known for her viral comedy sketches and self-produced content, has amassed millions of followers across TikTok and Instagram. The Idaho native has been rising steadily in the social media world, gaining mainstream attention.
While B.J. Novak’s relationship with Rowe heats up, rumors linking him to his longtime friend and former The Office co-star Mindy Kaling continue to swirl. The two have maintained a close friendship since their on-and-off romance ended years ago, with Novak even becoming godfather to Kaling’s children. Their appearances together at public events, like the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, keep fans speculating about their relationship status.
Kaling, meanwhile, has kept the identity of her children’s father private. In 2024, she revealed she had secretly welcomed her third child, a daughter named Anne, on her 45th birthday.
Despite the ongoing rumors, Novak appears to be moving forward with Rowe. Reps for Novak and Rowe have not commented publicly on their relationship.
