TheTop Chefhost, 49, took her 9½-year-old daughter Krishna Thea to the2019 Emmy Awardsin Los Angeles on Sunday evening, where they were photographed on the purple carpet alongside Krishna’s dadAdam Dell.

Lakshmi wore a long white column dress with a high neck, her hair tied back in a sleek style. Krishna let her long brown hair hang down naturally over her shoulder, wearing a black dress with a whimsical pattern and matching sandals. Dell looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo.

Top Chefwas up in the outstanding reality competition Emmy category on Sunday — anaward it has been nominated for13 times, and took home the prize for in 2010. It lost out toRuPaul’s Drag Racethis year.

On the carpet, Lakshmi was overheard introducing Dell as her daughter’s father. She has yet to confirm a rekindled romance between herself and the venture capitalist, 49.

The pair settled custody in 2012 and in January 2017, the trio attended theWomen’s March on Washington in D.C., just a day afterThe New York Post‘s Page Six published a story claiming the pair were “giving it a try” and that Lakshmi was “taking it slow” with Dell, whose brother founded computer manufacturing company Dell Inc.

In June 2017, Lakshmi and Dell were spotted at theFood & WineClassic in Aspen, where they attended the Dubai in the Sky party together — and just one day later,Lakshmi shared a photoof herself, Krishna and Delllounging in bed.
