Some fans wish Kevin found love at the end of The Office

Despite being a workplace comedy, "The Office" frequently put personal relationships front and center. Arguably the most memorable of the bunch is the pairing of Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and Jim Halpert (John Krasinski), but their romance was far from the only one the show had to offer. When it comes to Kevin Malone, now and again we'd learn tidbits about his dating life, but he didn't really get a steady on-screen love interest. According to Redditor u/Sprmodelcitizen and several others in the comment section, it's too bad that we didn't get to see him ride off into the sunset with his soulmate when the show concluded.

Considering how often "The Office" used Kevin and his misfortune for laughs, it's not surprising that he didn't get such a happy ending. Still, that doesn't make it any less disappointing, and actor Brian Baumgartner would agree. On his podcast, "An Oral History of The Office" (via Entertainment Weekly), he revealed that he once pitched a relationship between Kevin and fellow Dunder Mifflin employee Erin Hannon (Ellie Kemper). Sadly, even though Baumgartner thought their quirky personalities would've meshed well, the writers never went for it, instead putting Erin with Ed Helms' Andy Bernard.

At the end of the day, Kevin Malone never found his perfect match by the time "The Office" wrapped up, much to the chagrin of many fans. At least he still has his famous chili recipe to keep his spirits up – so long as he doesn't spill it.
