Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas shocked fans and the world when they announced the arrival of their baby girl via surrogate in January 2022. The couple’s heartfelt post on Instagram shared the joyful news but also revealed the emotional journey behind it—a story of resilience, love, and the challenges of welcoming a baby born 12 weeks premature.
A Surprising Announcement Amid Rumors
Just months before the surprise announcement, Priyanka and Nick were surrounded by speculation about their relationship. Rumors of a breakup swirled online, fueled by Priyanka’s decision to remove “Jonas” from her Instagram bio. However, the couple quickly dismissed the noise with a unified front, appearing together at public events and sharing moments of their love.
Then came the Instagram post that silenced all doubts. “We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate,” they wrote, asking for privacy as they focused on their new chapter as parents. The revelation was met with an outpouring of love and support from fans and friends worldwide.
A Premature Birth: Strength Amid Challenges
Behind the scenes, the journey to parenthood wasn’t easy. Their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, was born 12 weeks premature and spent over 100 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Priyanka and Nick faced the emotional rollercoaster of watching their baby fight to grow stronger each day.
In a later post marking Mother’s Day, Priyanka shared an intimate glimpse into their experience. “After over 100 days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home,” she wrote. “Every family’s journey is unique, and ours was a challenging few months, but what becomes abundantly clear in retrospect is how precious and perfect every moment is.”
Why Surrogacy?
While Priyanka and Nick have kept the reasons for choosing surrogacy private, Priyanka has previously spoken about her demanding schedule and her desire to have children on her own terms. Surrogacy, for the couple, became a path to fulfilling their dream of starting a family.
A United Front Through It All
Throughout the ordeal, Priyanka and Nick’s bond only grew stronger. Nick was by Priyanka’s side every step of the way, proving himself a devoted husband and father. The couple frequently shared glimpses of their family life, showing gratitude for their journey and the community of love surrounding them.
Priyanka’s dedication to motherhood shines brightly, even as she continues her high-profile career in entertainment. Likewise, Nick balances his music career with his responsibilities as a father, proving that their partnership is a true team effort.
A Celebration of Love and Family
Today, Malti Marie is thriving, and the Jonas-Chopra family continues to be a source of inspiration for fans worldwide. The couple’s story highlights the power of love and resilience in overcoming challenges and embracing the unexpected.
Their openness about their journey has resonated deeply with many, proving that even under the public’s watchful eye, their love and determination as a family remain unshakable.
Looking Ahead
As Priyanka and Nick continue to navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood, fans eagerly follow their story. Whether it’s sweet family moments on social media or their professional triumphs, one thing is clear: Priyanka, Nick, and Malti are writing their own beautiful fairy tale.
