Mindy Paling confirmed to Ellen DeGeneres that she’s having a baby girl, saying she wanted to know the gender “way early.”

“I am not waiting,” she said. “I’m having a girl.”

In fact, she also shared that it was her costar Oprah Winfrey who confirmed the baby news, accidentally, while in a press line at Disney’s D23 expo this summer.

“She did announce it,” said Kaling. “I had told Oprah and Reese [Witherspoon] on a movie we’re working on, A Wrinkle in Time, and she announced it at press — she was very excited. If anyone is going to announce big news about your private life, Oprah Winfrey is the person. You can’t complain that much about it. And you also can’t be like, ‘Hey, Oprah, zip it’ — because she’s almost like a religious figure. So if there’s one person I have to tell my daughter about that revealed her existence to the world, Oprah is pretty good.”
