Lakshmi got divorced from Nobel Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie in 2007 after three years of marriage and the baby's father has not been revealed.

Despite speculation that Manu Nathan is the baby's father, Lakshmi's representative denied it and told Us Nathan and Lakshmi are actually cousins.
The Top Chef host is pregnant with her first child after years of struggling with endometriosis, her representative told Us Weekly in a Thursday report.

"As a result of her condition, this pregnancy has been referred to by her physician as nothing short of a medical miracle," Lakshmi's representative told Us.

"Due to its delicate nature, we ask/implore the press to respect Ms. Lakshmi's privacy at this time."
