Bollywood actress-turned-Hollywood diva, Priyanka Chopra and her singer-husband, Nick Jonas, embraced the parenthood journey via surrogacy. Here’s why the 39-year-old actress opted for surrogacy.

The most adored couple, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas are happily married and have completed three years of marital bliss together. And, their fans had been eagerly waiting for them to embrace parenthood just like every married couple. Now, Nick and Priyanka, have left their fans shocked by announcing the happy news about embracing parenthood via surrogacy. The couple had seemed to be ecstatic as they hopped on the journey of being parents.

The couple’s first daughter is 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 Malti, full name Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. The 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 was born on January 15, 2022 thanks to a surrogate mother. The 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 was born 12 weeks premature and had to stay in the special care room for more than 100 days. To take good care of her daughter, Miss Priyanka Chopra has also minimized her artistic activities over the past year.

The new mommy, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, had taken to her Instagram handle on January 22, 2022, and had announced the arrival of her firstborn. She had posted a picture message, which had revealed that they have welcomed their 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 via surrogacy. The duo also had requested privacy to celebrate the time with their family. Her note could be read as:

“We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much.”

According to a report in the Daily Mail, a source close to the couple revealed that Nick and Priyanka had been wanting to have a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 together for quite some time, however, their schedules had hampered their family planning. The source added that owing to their busy schedule, the couple had explored other options. Nick and Priyanka were connected with a woman in southern California by an agency, and they had believed her to be a good match. The source was quoted as saying:

“Priyanka doesn’t have any fertility issues preventing her from having a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, but she is 39 now so it’s not getting any easier. Their busy work schedules also mean that it’s difficult for them to physically be together to conceive when she is ovulating, so some time ago they went down the surrogacy route. This is the woman’s fifth surrogacy. They met her and really liked her.”

In a report published in the US Weekly, it was suggested that the new parents have been blessed with a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 girl. According to the publication, it was also reported that Nick and Priyanka are hoping to have “at least two children” someday. A source had informed that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ daughter was born 12 weeks early at a Southern California hospital outside LA. The report had further added that the 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 girl would remain in the hospital till she is healthy enough to return home to Nick and Priyanka. The source had also informed that the couple was expecting their 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 in April, and thus, Priyanka had even cleared her work schedule for the same.

Earlier, Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ pregnancy rumours had become the talk of the town. However, the actress and her husband, Nick Jonas, had paid no heed to them and had remained tight-lipped about the same. Needless to say, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas are soaring high on their professional front, and both their lives seem busier than ever. A few days back, in an interview with Vanity Fair, when Priyanka was enquired about having a kid despite their busy schedules, she had given a sassy reply. Talking about having kids and starting a family, she had said:

“They’re a big part of our desire for the future. By God’s grace, when it happens, it happens.  And, we’re not too busy to practice.”

Priyanka’s sassy reply about having kids was enough to make anyone go ROFL. However, she was further asked about their plans of embracing parenthood and coping up with her and her husband, Nick Jonas’ breakneck pace with work. When enquired if she’s ready to slow down when a child enters their lives, Priyanka had replied:

“I’m okay with that. We’re both okay with that.”

We are impatiently waiting to get the first glimpse of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ daughter!
