In addition to laughing so hard, she had to change her pants, Lakshmi also teased Krishna for claiming the celebrity chef loved their family dog more than her daughter or boyfriend.

“Suspect thinks I love her more than the dog,” Lakshmi joked in the video as her daughter ran past the camera.

Lakshmi welcomed Krishna in February 2010, with her then-partnerAdam Dell, 55. Since then, the two have been seemingly inseparable, appearing together onbeach tripsand ball outings often coordinating outfits.

“Willing yourself into this world, you’ve been the greatest joy of my life,” she wrote onInstagramin honor of Krishna’s 13th birthday. “Of course I love you with all my heart but I also really like you! You have a wicked sense of humor. There’s no one I’d rather spend time with, no one I’d rather laugh with or cry with.”
