Padma Lakshmi Having a Baby Girl?

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 4th 2010 02:30PM

'Top Chef' host Padma Lakshmi sat down with Jimmy Fallon last month to talk about her pregnancy and might have spilled the beans about the sex of her baby (via Just Jared).

When Fallon asks, "What's happening with the baby now?", Lakshmi starts to answer and then seems to catch herself after a few words. "She was kicking... uh... he was kicking... I'm not saying which one... I use she and he intermittently!"

(Forward to the :55 mark.)

Lakskmi announced in October that she is pregnant with her first child, but the father has not been revealed, although reports suggest she has been linked to IMG CEO Ted Forstmann. The 'Chef' star was formerly married to novelist Salman Rushdie.

The 39-year-old Lakshmi had confirmed she had struggled for years with the medical condition endometriosis, which can lead to infertility. Endometriosis is the condition in which the uterus' lining expands and grows into other areas of the body.

"This pregnancy has been referred to by her physician as nothing short of a medical miracle, and due to its delicate nature, we ask/implore the press to respect Ms. Lakshmi's privacy at this time," Lakshmi's rep told Us Weekly in October.
