New mum Padma Lakshmi is already fighting with the father of her baby daughter over visitation rights, according to U.S. reports.
Venture capitalist Adam Dell is reportedly a proud father who is desperate to play as big a part in his daughter Krishna’s life as possible.
But he is already said to be complaining about how Top Chef star Padma is refusing to work with him to meet his requests, according to Page Six.
Dell – whose brother Michael is the founder of the Dell computer company – is said to have photographs of his baby girl proudly displayed all over his house in Austin, Texas.
And a guest at a barbecue he recently threw recalled hearing his complaints about how Salman Rushdie’s ex was not accommodating his desires as a dad.
The source said Dell was telling everyone “how excited he was to raise her, but that Padma wasn’t being entirely accommodating”.
However, those on Padma’s side insist he is being unfair to the former model.
“An agreement was made with the biological father that was very fair,” a source close to Padma told the gossip column. “It’s unfortunate if anything inappropriate is being said.”
Padma’s spokesperson could not be reached and Dell’s spokesman, Howard Rubenstein, had no comment.
