The father of Padma Lakshmi’s baby Krishna could be venture capitalist Adam Dell, according to sources.

Dell, 40, resides in Austin and New York.

The pair had “had an on-and-off minimal relationship that ended many, many months ago,” the New York Daily News quoted a source as saying.

The insider added: “There already is a very fair agreement in place. She doesn””t want anything from him. She”’’s juggling all of this with motherhood and preparing to go back to work and it”’’s a lot to handle.”

Meanwhile, Lakshmi said: I have a newborn! I just want some peace and privacy.”

Lakshmi’s physician had said last year that the pregnancy was “nothing short of a medical miracle,” as she suffered with endometriosis.
