Padma Lakshmi baby daddy a Dell?

(HMG) – Speculation on who might be the baby daddy for soon to be single mom, Padma Lakshmi, the gorgeous host of Bravo’s “Top Chef” is due to give birth soon, has long been centered on longtime boyfriend Teddy Forstmann, the corporate buyout king who owns the IMG talent agency. But it seems that Lakshmi, 39, the ex-wife of author Salman Rushdie, who is due next month, might have two men courting her simultaneously.

Adam Dell, 40, the tech-savvy younger brother of billionaire computer maker Michael Dell, is a venture capitalist who teaches at Columbia Business School and was first spotted hanging out with Lakshmi, nearly two years ago at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, while she was dating Forstmann. A month later, the two hung out with Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley at Evelyn Lauder’s party for breast cancer research. The NY Post hears that Dell is the father of Lakshmi’s unborn child but then raise doubt about the credibility of that information, reporting that she was recently hospitalized for five days.  A source tells them:  “The baby was in serious danger.” “Teddy (Forstmann) has been by her side the whole time,” added the source. “He has been incredibly wonderful and supportive.”

Whoever the real dad might be, it seems that Forstmann is the one stepping up to the plate when he was needed for support. Here’s hoping Padma delivers a healthy baby, which is due next month. She has suffered with endometriosis for years, so the pregnancy was described by her doctor as “nothing short of a medical miracle.”
