She also included a sweet video where she cuddled with her pooch, wearing a flowy, floral cover-up."Should we howl? Should we howl at the ocean?" she asked her pup. "Ready?"The mom-of-one then made a howling sound, which prompted her small dog do the same. Lakshmi and her friend recording the video laughed as they continued to make the noise for several more seconds.

Lakshmi has been traveling all over the globe, as in June, she took her 15-year-old daughter, Krishna, to Iceland."If you're planning a trip this summer, Iceland is a great option! #Littlehands and I went over spring break, and there's so much to see and do," she captioned a post featuring pictures from their adventure. "You might not catch the northern lights this time of year, but at least it won't be as cold!!!"Images showed the two swimming in the Blue Lagoon, going horseback riding and trying to see the Aurora Borealis.

The bombshell welcomed her daughter with businessman Adam Dell, though Lakshmi admitted on the "Me Becoming Mom" podcast that she was "between relationships" at the time. Krishna was partly raised by Lakshmi's former beau Teddy Forstmann, who died in 2011.

The model was last romantically linked to poet Terrance Hayes, whom she was seen holding hands with in April 2024. The two had previously dated in 2021, according to a news outlet. She admitted in a previous interview that the "demands of two shows plus motherhood" led to their original split.

The cookbook author was previously married to renown author Salman Rushdie, 78, from 2004 to 2007.

In her memoir Love, Loss, and What We Ate, Lakshmi revealed her endometriosis struggle took a toll on their marriage, as she claimed he thought she was using her painful symptoms from the condition as an excuse to not sleep with him. She even alleged he called her a "bad investment" because of her diagnosis.
