AceShowbiz - Nick Jonas could not be happier. A couple of weeks since his newborn left the hospital, the "Close" hitmaker revealed in a new interview that he, along with his actress wife Priyanka Chopra, felt blessed to have their daughter Malti Marie home following her extended NICU stay.
During his May 16 appearance on "Today", the "Jealous" singer spilled on life with Malti. "Life is beautiful," he gushed, "She's a gift and we're just so blessed that she's back." He further added that the Jonas family was more than thrilled to welcome Malti into the clan. "The Jonas family keeps growing. My parents were thrilled. Grandparents of, now, four beautiful granddaughters," he stated.
Nick and Priyanka welcomed Malti via surrogate in January. Months later on Mother's Day, the couple revealed via Instagram that their baby had to spend more than three months in the NICU before they could take her home.
Reflecting on those early months, the married couple shared a picture of them with their little girl. Her face, however, was covered with a white heart emoji. Along with the photo, the two wrote a joint message on their respective Instagram accounts.
"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," the message read. "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."
The pair went on expressing gratitude to the health workers who cared for Malti during her time in the hospital. "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," they added, "Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a bad***. Let's get it MM! Mommy and Daddy love you."
In his Instagram post, Nick added a personal message to Priyanka below their joint statement. "Babe, you inspire me and every way, and you are taking to this new role with such ease and steadiness," the former Disney star wrote, "I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. You are already an incredible mother."
Similarly, Priyanka wrote a loving message for Nick in her own post. "Also.. there is no one I'd rather do this with than you. Thank you for making me a mama @nickjonas I love you," the "Baywatch" actress declared.
