Woah,OKASANNOANARU-02 baby. Even the biggest fans of The Officewon't see this one coming.
At long last, the father of Jan's baby — who, as we know, is definitely not Michael Scott — has been revealed. And he's...famous.
On the latest episode of the Office Ladiespodcast, Officestars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey chatted all about the second part of "Goodbye, Toby," which was written by Jen Celotta and Paul Lieberstein, and directed by Paul Feig. The episode features a series of huge storylines, including Toby (Paul Lieberstein) leaving, Holly (Amy Ryan) arriving, and Michael (Steve Carell) finding out that his former flame Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin) is pregnant...but not with hisbaby.

Though Jan confirms she got pregnant when she was in a relationship with Michael, she assures him he's not the father and shares that she went to a sperm bank. Not just any sperm bank, though. She went to the really, really good one next to IHOP.
For the rest of the series fans remain in the dark about the identity of Jan's sperm donor — aside from a quick scare that it was Kevin (Brian Baumgartner), who also occasionally donates sperm to the bank by IHOP. But Kinsey and Fischer finally shared whose sperm Jan bought, which was revealed in a deleted "Goodbye, Toby" scene.
The father of Jan's baby, Astrid Levinson, is none other than IRL Office fan and professional tennis player, Andy Roddick.
No, we're not joking.
How did Andy Roddick get roped into this?
You're probably wondering how in the world Andy Roddick became the father of Jan's baby, which is understandable. Apparently, some cast members (including Fischer) might not even have know this juicy info until now.
"Jenna in the script — and it didn't make it to the deleted scenes — Jan reveals whose sperm she bought," Kinsey explains.
"What? Whose sperm is it?" Fischer questions.

"Yeah. And Jan looks to Michael like she's expecting him to be very impressed. And Michael says, 'The tennis player?' And Jan says, 'Well, it's a little more than that. He's the sixth ranked player in the world and he's won four grand slams.' And Michael says, 'That's a lot of grand slams, I guess.' And Jan says, 'And he's a humanitarian — something with orphans.' And Michael is quiet and Jan goes, 'Michael?' And Michael says, 'Can I just sit here for a minute without more things coming into my head?'" Kinsey notes.
"So Andy Roddick is the father of Jan's baby."
After letting the information soak in, Fischer came up with a possible explanation for Andy Roddick's inclusion.
"OK, you guys. Andy Roddick was friends with Rainn Wilson, and he was a big fan of The Office and he came by the set," she said. "I have to imagine that the reason they wrote it as being Andy Roddick's sperm was a little bit of a nod to Andy, who has an amazing sense of humor. Me and Lee [Kirk, Fischer's husband] got to know Andy and Brooklyn [Decker] through our love of tennis. We would go watch Andy play tennis and sit with Brooklyn, and oh my gosh, I am so sad for his sake that this did not stay in the episode..."
"I know, I got to know Brooklyn myself through some charity work. And I kind of want to text her this couplet of dialog. I was cracking up," Kinsey said. "So Andy Roddick is the father of Jan's baby."
"Incredible. Incredible," Fischer said.
