Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi announced she was pregnant with a “miracle” baby at the end of 2009, but refused to reveal the father of the child. Most assumed the baby daddy was Lakshmi’s alleged boyfriend, IMB executive Teddy Forstmann. Turns out the father of Lakshmi’s baby may actually be Adam Dell, brother to billionaire Dell computer guru Michael Dell.
According to a report from the New York Daily News, the father of Padma Lakshmi’s baby is venture capitalist and Columbia Business School professor Adam Dell. 40-year-old Dell is the younger brother of computer mogul Michael Dell.
Reps for Padma Lakshmi say the Top Chef host has no interest in commenting on the subject. “She has no interest in sharing with the public the identity of the father. She asks that people respect her privacy,” Lakshmi’s publicist told the NY Daily News.
Seems like gorgeous Padma Lakshmi might just have a fetish for those nerdy type guys. Good for her, we’re kind of sick of all those hot Hollywood ladies choosing brawn over brains!
