Padma Lakshmi: Who's the Daddy?

Soon to give birth to a baby girl, perhaps Padma Lakshmi, 39, is keeping secrets as to who the father of her baby might be.

Lakshmi, is best known as the beautiful host on Bravo’s Top Chef for six seasons and her cook books, Tangy Tart Hot & Sweet and Easy Exotic, “has no interest in sharing with the public the identity of the father.”

In October 2009, Lakshmi announced her pregnancy but refused to give any details about the baby’s father.

However, a source hears that the father might be Adam Dell, the young brother of the infamous billionaire entrepreneur Michael Dell. Lakshmi and Dell were first spotted together two years ago at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival.

There has been other suspicion that the father might be 69-year-old, Wall Street financier, Teddy Forstmann. One source said that he “has been by her side the whole time” when she was hospitalized for five days.
