The Office costars, whose off-screen relationship was on and off like their beloved characters’, have maintained their friendship through the years.
When speaking with PEOPLE in 2014, Novak described their relationship as “complicated.” He explained, “A really complicated person and a really complicated friendship, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.”
The pair have remained friends since they met while working on The Office in 2004, and Kaling and Novak have been vocal about their now-platonic love for each other.
They’ve collaborated on creative projects, supported each other at red carpet premieres — and in 2017, Novak officially became a member of Kaling’s family when he became her daughter’s godfather.
Rowe is a popular content creator on social media who rose to fame for her comedy sketches. One of her most viral videos featured a monologue filmed in the rain from the perspective of the “absolutely insufferable female lead of an indie movie.”
The influencer, who was born and raised in Idaho, amassed 3 million followers on TikTok and 1 million on Instagram. She writes, performs and edits all of her content herself.
