After spending more than 100 days in the newborn intensive care unit, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra welcomed their baby girl, Malti Marie, home over Mother’s Day weekend.
On Sunday, the couple marked the occasion by posting the first photo of her on social media.
Priyanka Chopra, 39, is seen cradling Malti Marie on her chest, while Nick Jonas, 29, clutches her small arm in the adorable photo.
“On this Mother’s Day, we can’t help but think on these last few months and the rollercoaster we’ve been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced,” the “Quantico” actor and Jonas Brothers member said in a joint statement accompanied the photo.
“Our baby is truly a badass!”, said Priyanka and Nick
“Every family’s path is unique and demands a certain level of faith,” Chopra and Jonas said. They added, that while theirs was “difficult,” they recognized in retrospect “how beautiful and exquisite every moment is.”
“We are happy that our little girl is finally home, and we want to express our gratitude to every doctor, nurse, and a specialist at Rady Children’s La Jolla and Cedar Sinai, Los Angeles, who were there selflessly every step of the way,” they said.
“Our next chapter is about to begin, and our baby is a true badass. Let’s get it, MM! Mommy and Daddy are proud of you.”

They had their first kid through a surrogate
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas announced in January that they had welcomed their first child via surrogate and were “overjoyed.”
For the past three years, the pair has been married. They married in an opulent three-day wedding in India in 2018.
They’ve mentioned their desire to have children in numerous interviews since then.
“It is something that I certainly want to accomplish,” Chopra told Tatler magazine in March 2020. “I’m hoping that whenever God wills it, at the proper, appropriate time, it will happen.”
