Padma Lakshmi has welcomed a baby girl, her rep tells UsMagazine.com.
The girl was born late Saturday in New York City, the rep adds.
A source tells Us the girl's name is Krishna.
The Top Chef star, 39, has not revealed the baby's father.
UsMagazine.com first broke news that Lakshmi was expecting last October. The pregnancy was considered "a medical miracle," her rep told Us, because Lakshmi has struggled with endometriosis, a painful uterine condition that can lead to infertility.
Look back at Padma and other celebs' baby bumps
"I actually can't button my jeans anymore," Lakshmi joked to Us last fall when asked how her pregnancy was going. "Up until about a week ago, I could. There's just too much pressure, so I've had to put them away for now."
Can you guess whose baby bump this is?
During her pregnancy, Lakshmi said she hadn't "really had any cravings. There was about a week-and-a- half when I was really craving a cinnamon donut. Then I had the cinnamon donut, and it was like, 'Eh.' I mean, it was OK, but that was it. And then it was over."
Tell Us What You Think
35congrats to padma on the birth of her daughter it's not any of our business who the babies father is why should we care
she like a kangaroo
i wonder if her ex husband Salmon Rushdie is the father. He is super intelligent and smart. They are still close friends and what better dad could you have for your kid?
I wonder if the father is Tom Colicchio...
David Duke - do us all a favor, go hang yourself from the ceiling fan. The world is better without you.
I like Padma Lakshmi. she is beautiful & carries herself very well. And no, she is not a disgrace to India. India is proud of her, she is one of the persons who raised global awareness for India.
She waited so Long she got what she wished for shes a gorgeous 39 women!!
wonder if she knows who he is?
she's downright gorgeous! but she could have worn something better, i like what jessica alba used to wear when she was pregnant
she's pretty, the baby's healthy - who cares who the father is? It's not OUR business anyway.
There are reports that she was impregnanted by a distant relative. That's why it a secret.
Congratulations!!!!!!! Wish them all the luck, happiness, and good health.
David Duke is one stupid, crazy pig.
That dress is way too tight. She looks like Humpty Dumpty. Some preggos need to wear pregnancy appropriate clothes. Going too tight is just plain gross sometimes.
It's funny how she didn't have that many cravings while pregnant, just a cinnamon donut, and that was it!
Oh, perhaps the reason she hasn't named the father is because he wants to stay out of the public eye. But no one thought of that, did they? No, because everyone wants to make this happy event contraversial. And even if it WAS a sperm donar, who cares? She is a thirty-nine year old woman. She can make her own choices. As for her wardrobe, I agree with Suze. If you don't want to watch Top Chef with your kids, how about you go turn on Dancing With the Stars, so you can see even more skin!
i thought it was revealed that adam dell was the baby's father before? has that information changed?
She is a disgrace to India.
Congrats to Padma on Krishna- God has blessed you with the most precious gift of all!!
What ever happened to the old time Maternity Tops. This woman looks like she's wearing a condon!
