In March 2012, the couple resolved their custody battle with a resolution that granted Dell <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/16/padma-lakshmi-custody-battle_n_1354670.html" target="_hplink">expanded visitation rights and legal recognition of his paternity</a> of Krishna, who now carries both Lakshmi's and Dell's last names. <em>Correction: An earlier version of this slide misidentified Adam Dell as Michael Dell.</em>
