Thanks to what her rep is referring to as a "medical miracle," Padma Lakshmi is pregnant with her first child.
The Top Chef host has struggled for years with endometriosis, a problem in which the uterus' lining grows irregularly, causing pain, bleeding and possible infertility.
"As a result of her condition, 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," said her representative.
The father is unknown at this time, but please join us in wishing Lakshmi a hearty congratulations!

Maybe it's a miracle! I'm no doctor, but my daughter with the same condition, diagnosed as severe, has gotten pregnant 4(four!) times! No big news to me.
Best of luck to your future.
