The model, author and Top Chef host, 39, welcomed daughter Krisha Thea Lakshmi on Saturday.
No other details have been released yet.
A representative for the star has confirmed the birth, saying: "Mother and baby are well and happy."
Lakshmi - who has yet to reveal the baby's father - previously explained that she had chosen a classical Indian Sanskrit name because it is "close to my family".
She announced she was pregnant in October after a struggle with endometriosis.
