Is Padma Lakshmi back with her former flame, poet Terrance Hayes? Looks like it! The Top Chef host and Emmy nominee was recently spotted holding hands with Terrance while strolling through SoHo in NYC. Cue the comeback rumors!
This isn’t the first time these two have sparked romance whispers. Back in 2021, they were caught smooching in the city, but Padma later shut down dating rumors, insisting she was single. Fast forward to a few months ago, and Padma was seen holding hands with “black-ish” creator Kenya Barris.
So, what’s the deal with Terrance? Apparently, they met through work on a project they’re developing together. An inside source spilled the tea to People back in November, calling it “very new” at the time.
Poetry in Motion (or Maybe Not?)
Remember when a Watch What Happens Live viewer got curious about Padma’s love life and her affinity for poetry (ahem, Terrance)? Padma cleverly dodged the question, assuring host Andy Cohen that her love for poetry transcends her dating life. Smooth move, Padma!
