Before the birth of little Krishna, there was a lot of speculation on who might be the baby daddy for single mom, Padma Lakshmi. She tried to keep quiet about the identity of her new daughter’s father, but it seems the cat may be out of the bag now that he’s lobbying for increased visitation with his new little girl. A source close to confirms to “E! News” that the businessman Adam Dell is the father of Krishna Thea Lakshmi, born last month.

According to the source, Dell and Lakshmi are currently negotiating new visitation rights after Dell, who splits his time between Austin and New York, grew unhappy with their arrangement.

Dell is reportedly a proud father who is desperate to play as big a part in his daughter’s life as possible, but is said to be complaining about how the “Top Chef” star is refusing to work with him to meet his requests. He is said to have had some sort of agreement with the new mom, but now wants more time with the baby. Dell wants to help raise his daughter and is negotiating for weekend and vacation visitation with Krishna.

Doesn’t sound unreasonable to me. She ought to be thankful she’s got a baby daddy to stick around. The old ‘knock up and run’ bit seems to be a little over-used these days…
