Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are enjoying parenthood. In January, the couple announced they welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, via surrogate. “We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate,” Chopra wrote on Instagram at the time. “We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much.”
While celebrating Mother’s Day three months later, Jonas and Chopra revealed Malti had previously spent “100 plus days” in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) but was “finally home.” “On this Mother’s Day we can’t help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we’ve been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced. After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home,” both Jonas and Chopra wrote on each of their accounts.
They continued: “Every family’s journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is. We are overjoyed that our little girl is finally home, and just want to thank every doctor, nurse and specialist at Rady Children’s La Jolla and Cedar Sinai, Los Angeles, who were there selflessly every step of the way. Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a badass. Let’s get it MM! Mommy and Daddy love you.”
Jonas and Chopra tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Jodhpur, India, in December 2018. In May, Jonas opened up about fatherhood in an interview with “Today,” saying, “Life is beautiful. . . . She’s a gift.”
On Oct. 25, Jonas shared two photos of the family of three celebrating Malti’s very first Diwali on Instagram. In the first photo, he holds Malti while Chopra beams, and in the second, Chopra cradles their baby girl while Jonas sweetly holds her hand. “Such a beautiful Diwali celebration with my ♥️,” Jonas wrote in the caption. “Happy Diwali everyone. Sending joy and light to you all.” Chopra also shared a glimpse into the celebration on her Instagram, and her photos showed off the elegant event as well as her adorable family. “Love, peace and prosperity to all,” she wrote in her caption. “From a heart truly laden with gratitude, I wish you all a Happy Diwali. Sorry I’m a little late but decided to stay in the moment just a little bit longer..From ours to yours. Love and light.”
Recently, on Nov. 11, Chopra shared how she and Malti are getting in the holiday spirit by posting pictures of their Christmas tree and them sitting by the fireplace, writing on her Instagram Stories, “It’s beginning to look a lot like . . .” And on Dec. 17, Chopra and Jonas took their daughter to the aquarium ahead of her first birthday. Chopra captioned a photo of her, Jonas, and Malti all gazing at a jellyfish, “Family ❤️.”
