Craving for spaghetti

The 39-year-old, who calls herself a “single girl” recently confirmed her pregnancy but refused to name the father of the child, reported a website. “I think the way to anybody’s heart is through the stomach. The way to my heart is through my stomach, with a really great bowl of spaghetti,” the Top Chef host said in an interview to a popular magazine. The award-winning, cook-book author is over the moon with the news, as she has battled the disease of endometriosis, which causes infertility, for years.

“Model, author and Emmy-nominated Padma Lakshmi confirms that she is carrying her first child after years of struggling with endometriosis. As a result of her condition, this pregnancy has been referred to by her physician as nothing short of a medical miracle,” her spokesperson had said while confirming the pregnancy. Lakshmi hasn’t gone public with any romantic interests since divorcing Booker Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie in 2007.
Earlier reports suggested that a New York-based lawyer Manu Nathan was the father of the child, but Lakshmi’s representative shot down the report saying that Nathan is her cousin, not lover.
