Padma Lakshmi appeared at the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s second annual Blossom Ball in New York last night where she made an emotional speech and thanked and publicly declared her love for billionaire boyfriend Teddy Forstmannn:

“I am lucky to have someone who unwaveringly gave me love and manly support — and is also the person that I love. So thank you, Teddy.”

Padma herself suffers from endometriosis and gave birth to daughter Krishna three months ago.  These pictures are from that event but the man in the picture is not Teddy Forstmann it’s Dr. Tamer Seckin.
