Padma Lakshmi: I've Gained Weight Quickly

Padma Lakshmi: I've Gained Weight Quickly

Six-month-pregnant Padma Lakshmi covers Page Six Magazine, out Thursday. She is pictured wearing little more than jewelry and gold gladiator sandals and inside talks about her new curves.

"One of the reasons I think I've gained weight pretty quickly during my pregnancy is that I'm not exercising as much as I do normally, I can't. I'm feeling tired," she said. "You hope that with age, what you pay for in gravity, you gain in gravitas. I'm sure my thighs looked better when I was 25, but I think my mind is better today."

Padma has yet to say who the father of her unborn child is, but she tells the magazine she's still picking up the pieces after her 2007 split from Salman Rushdie.

"I [have been] reconstructing my life and putting it back together in a way that looked more appropriate to who I was," she said.

Padma talked about her basketball-sized uterus and wore a miniskirt and thigh high boots on Fallon last week.
