Padma Lakshmi seeing Princess Diana's suitor?

New York (ANI): She's denied it, but rumours continue to persist that Padma Lakshmi is in a relationship with Princess Diana's former suitor Ted Forstmann.

The host of the hit US reality show 'Top Chef' split from hubby Salman Rushdie last year, and that's when rumours started that the split was caused by Lakshmi's involvement with Frostmann. The two denied the story.

However, they were recently spotted together with Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley at Evelyn Lauder's party to benefit breast-cancer research. According to the New York Post, sources have also confirmed that Lakshmi and Frostmann are very much a couple.
