Top Chef Host Pregnant

Written by: Julie on 1 October 2009 | 5 Comments |

Padma LakshmiPadma Lakshmi, host of Top Chef, is reportedly pregnant with her first child. The 39-year-old has struggled for years with endometriosis and even co-founded the Endometriosis Foundation of America. The foundation’s purpose is to help make women educated and aware of endometriosis.

Padma had this to say about it:

“I’m somebody who never knew I had this condition and always thought that everything was okay. I found out in a very hard, difficult way – and I had to be operated on. Now, I’m fine but it was a very trying ordeal.”

No word on who the father of the baby is or when the baby is due. Padma was previously married to author Salman Rushdie and the couple divorced in 2007.

Congrats and good luck to Padma!

    My cousin suffers from endometriosis and I know its a horrible, very painful thing to have to go through. I’m glad Padma was able to get past it and get pregnant.
