American pop singer Nick Jonas recently shared a sweet moment from his personal life on social media. He posted an adorable picture of himself with his daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. In the photo, Nick is seen lying beside his little girl and gently kissing her on the forehead. Malti is resting on a bed, dressed in cute nightwear and ready to sleep. Her face is partly hidden with a heart emoji, adding to the charm of the picture.
Nick also shared another photo where he is sitting at a cafe in Vancouver, enjoying a drink. He kept the caption simple and wrote, “Week 1 in Vancouver.”
Nick has often spoken about how much he loves his daughter and how special she is to him. In the past, he opened up about the difficult time when Malti was born. She needed immediate medical care and had to be resuscitated shortly after birth.
Speaking on the On Purpose podcast, Nick said, “She came to the world under, sort of, very intense circumstances. We were expecting her to arrive in April of the year she was born, and we get a call that it’s going to be sooner.” He added, “We basically, you know, went into action and she was born via surrogate. We got to the hospital, and she came out. She was 1 pound, 11 ounces and purple basically.”
Malti spent nearly 100 days in a neonatal intensive care unit. Nick shared how difficult that period was for him and his wife. He said, “These angels at the NICU, kind of, resuscitated her in that moment and got her taken care of really quickly and intubated (her) and everything else. Because it was COVID times, my wife and I would basically do 12-hour shifts at the hospital for three and a half months. I could still, sort of, smell it.”
He further added, “It’s a tough reality check. Just driving there and back each day and seeing each other, sort of, as passing ships was a crazy thing. I’ll just say this about the NICU nurses, they are truly angels.”
Nick and Priyanka Chopra welcomed Malti via surrogate in January 2022. She is their only child.
