Pregnant Padma Lakshmi has been mum about the identity of her unborn baby's father, but a new report says the man who impregnated the sexy TV host is... drum roll, please... venture capitalist / Columbia Business School professor Adam Dell.

Dell, according to the NY Daily News, is the daddy-to-be, not businessman Teddy Forstmann, who has also been linked to Lakshmi. If his name sounds familiar, it is: Adam, 40, is the brother of billionaire computer mogul Michael Dell.
