Oh No! Top Chef foodie Padma Lakshmi was radmitted to a New York City hospital after experiencing complications with her pregnancy, The New York Post’s
Page Six Column said Sunday.
The Indian-born TV chef, 39, announced that she was expecting her first child last October. At the time, Padma branded the pregnancy a “medical miracle” after years of struggling with endometriosis, in which the lining of the uterus grows in other areas of the body. According to medical studies, only 20% of women who suffer from endometriosis will conceive naturally.
Details of Lakshmi’s medical problem are unknown, but a source has told the publication, “The baby was in serious danger.”
The former model is now recovering at home under the watchful eye of close friend Teddy Forstmann. Lakshmi has refused to name the father of her baby, but new reports suggest the dad is venture capitalist and Columbia Business School professor Adam Dell — the younger brother of Dell Computers founder Michael Dell.
