Mindy Kaling says her under-wraps relationship with a White House staffer was going well, until President Obama “cock blocked” her one day.
{mosads}”The Mindy Project” star and author of “Why Not Me?” reveals in her new book that an anonymous Obama aide, whom she dubbed “Will,” spent more than a year romancing her, according to People magazine.
The 36-year-old entertainer keeps “Will’s” identity a secret, but describes the man she met at a fundraiser as a tall, blond Tennessee native who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. The staffer travels “everywhere with the president,” writes Kaling.
Kaling took a tour of the White House with her mystery man, and attended some exclusive Washington soirees alongside him. Then, one day, Kaling says she was summoned for a meet-and-greet with the commander in chief.
“That was a moment when I realized how cool my life is,” Kaling says in her tome. “I was trying to hit on a guy and was being cock blocked by the President of the United States.”
But Kaling doesn’t blame the relationship’s demise on Obama. With the couple each juggling hectic schedules, the romance mostly subsisted on emails and text messages, and Kaling says she eventually chose to move on and “shake it off.”
