BJ, 43, kept it casual in an open, vertically striped blue button-up over a tan V-neck singlet.

He completed his look with dark pants and brown shoes.

The actor wore a watch to dinner at the private members-only club.

Mindy and BJ poked fun at their “insanely complicated relationship” last month as they took the stage at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards to present the award for Best Screenplay in a Limited Series.

“And this show, it would take up your whole life. No time for other projects,” BJ continued.

“No time for a social life. You had no choice but to develop insanely complicated relationships with your co-stars,” Mindy joked.

“That’s right,” BJ agreed before announcing that Mike White, 52, had won for his work on The White Lotus.

BJ and Mindy co-starred in The Office and would be in and out while acting and writing on the sitcom. He is also the godfather to her two children, four-year-old Katherine and two-year-old Spencer.

Last month, Mindy told Marie Claire magazine that paternity rumors surrounding her ex-boyfriend BJ “don’t bother her”.
