I Think We All Have Just Have a Few Questions
People confirms that B.J. Novak and Delaney Rowe are dating. So, once again, we're forced to remind ourselves that Novak and Mindy Kaling haven't dated since 2007—and that he’s just her kids’ godfather and “Uncle FoFo.”

Somewhere in Los Angeles, Mindy Kaling’s therapist is working overtime. In a rare W for Deuxmoi, it appears B.J. Novak (45) really is dating 29-year-old actress and TikTok star Delaney Rowe. The pair were first spotted together at The Official How Long Gone After Party at the Standard in New York City in November, and romance rumors started to fly when they were seen together again (and reported to Deuxmoi) at The Bowery Hotel in December. But the rumors really started cooking after this tweet:
I just found out that BJ Novak is dating Delaney Rowe from tiktok and I have no one to talk about this with 😭 why did god curse me with the ability to process vast amounts of useless pop culture knowledge and not something useful, like how to do math?

People quickly confirmed via an “exclusive source,” and thus, the TikTok-to-Twitter pipeline claimed another news cycle.
For those whose screen time has not yet hit the 10-hours-per-day mark, Rowe is one of TikTok’s most famous faces, where she boasts a healthy three million followers. She’s known for her (genuinely pretty good) parodies of the “absolutely insufferable female lead” in indie movies; a schtick she’s been able to keep up for a surprisingly long time. Though fans now seem divided over whether or not this means she is “absolutely insufferable” herself. I’ll let you decide.
