'Top Chef' Host Padma Lakshmi Is Pregnant
'Top Chef' host Padma Lakshmi is expecting a baby, her rep announced to Us Magazine. This is especially surprising because of Padma's health status.
"Model, author, and Emmy-nominated Padma Lakshmi confirms that she is carrying her first child after years of struggling with endometriosis, a cause for which she has co-founded the Endometriosis Foundation of America," the rep tells Us of Lakshmi, 39.
"As a result of her condition, this pregnancy has been referred to by her physician as nothing short of a medical miracle, and due to its delicate nature, we ask/implore the press to respect Ms. Lakshmi's privacy at this time," the rep continues.
The father of the child has not been publicly identified. I hope everything goes well for Padma during her pregnancy: congratulations!

Cuz personally I believe she's looking for a support check. She's known to have quite a bit older and quite wealthy fellas in her life.

In some cultures, that's just how they roll. Also, haven't there been studies that show that there isn't an increase of birth defects in children born of first cousins?

Does anyone know how she got the long scar on her arm?

She and her mom got in a car wreck, and she put her arm out in front of her mom. I believe it ended up saving her mom, but screwing up her arm pretty bad. She keeps it as a badge of honor of sorts.

Car accident from when she was a kid. I think she needed surgery on her arm.
I did notice she was looking slightly fuller-figured recently, thought it was due to hosting so many seasons of Top Chef, and heavy eating finally cought up to her!
