Priyanka Chopra And Nick Jonas Post About Their Newborn Daughter's Scary First Few Months
In January 2022, Nick Jonas shared happy family news on his Instagram account, stating that he and his wife, Priyanka Chopra, had welcomed a baby via surrogacy. Chopra shared the same post, with the caption, "We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for your privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much."
Born on Jan. 15, 2022, in San Diego (via TMZ), the baby girl is named Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. The first name means "small, fragrant flower" and is typically given to females born of Indian descent (via BabyNames.com).
They didn't reveal much else about their daughter at the time. Now, however, we're learning that the new parents were going through a terrifying health scare with their newborn. Chopra and Jonas are once again sharing a joint post, detailing the harrowing first months after Malti Marie was born.
