Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas have announced the joyous news they have welcomed their first child together.
Sharing a joint statement on Instagram, the couple revealed they welcomed a baby via surrogate together.
“We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate,” the statement read. “We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much.”
Priyanka and Nick wed just over three years ago in December 2018 at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India. The pair wed in a western ceremony officiated by Nick’s father Paul Kevin Jonas Sr and the next day the pair wed in a traditional Hindu ceremony.

Just last week, in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, the Bollywood and Hollywood actress opened up about having children.
When asked about children Priyanka candidly responded saying, “They’re a big part of our desire for the future. By God’s grace, when it happens, it happens.”
In the same interview, the actress opened up about difficulties she faces with so many hawk-eyed fans watching her every move, particularly on social media.
Late last year, the 39-year-old made the decision to remove her double-barreled last name – Chopra Jonas – from her Instagram, instead simply going by Priyanka on her profile. What followed was a slew of rumours that she and her husband of three years, Nick Jonas, were no longer together.
This, of course, was just the rumour mill turning, the couple is still very much together, but Priyanka admitted such situations do leave her feeling “vulnerable”.
“It’s a very vulnerable feeling, actually, that if I post a picture, everything that’s behind me in that picture is going to be zoomed in on, and people are going to speculate,” Priyanka said. “It’s just a professional hazard…. Because of the noise of social media, because of the prevalence that it has in our lives, I think it seems a lot larger than it is.”
