Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi has been carrying around a little extra weight, and Top Chef isn’t to blame.

Padma announced (or finally came clean) that she is pregnant, but is keeping the father’s identity a secret.

I ran into Padma at a Sotheybys event the other night and boy was she sporting a bump. Looking as gorgeous as ever, clad in a tight sequin Missoni gown, Padma politely declined answering any pf my questions or posing for photos with photographers.

It seems like she really wants to keep this whole pregnancy thing a secret… I wonder if the baby daddy is Tom Colicchio, or maybe that hot contestant Brian from the show…

Guess we will find out soon enough, but in the meantime, be a proud Mama Padma and show of that baby bump
