Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas had happy news to share for Mother’s Day — their baby was finally home.
Nick, who grew up in Wyckoff and Little Falls, and Priyanka announced in January that they had welcomed a baby via surrogate. At the time, they did not say the baby was in the hospital.
In their holiday message Sunday, they posted a photo with the baby, a daughter, who they called “M” or “MM,” and talked about the months she spent in a neonatal intensive care unit.
“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,” the couple said in matching Instagram and Twitter posts Sunday. “After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home. 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.”
Jonas, 29, a member of the Jonas Brothers with his siblings Kevin and Joe Jonas, married actress Chopra, 39, in 2018.
“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 continued in the post. “Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a badass. Let’s get it M! Mommy and Daddy love you.”
In his version of the post, Nick wished Priyanka a happy Mother’s Day.
“Babe, you inspire me and every way, and you are taking to this new role with such ease and steadiness,” he told her. “I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. You are already an incredible mother.”
Priyanka, who appears in the photo embracing their daughter, addressed the end of her post to Nick.
“There is no one I’d rather do this with than you,” she said. “Thank you for making me a mama @nickjonas I love you.”
Nick Jonas, who has been expanding his acting roles, plays fellow New Jersey singer Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons in an upcoming “Jersey Boys Live!” TV event produced by Valli.
Chopra appeared in the 2021 movie “The Matrix Resurrections.” Her upcoming projects are not limited to but include the Amazon spy series “Citadel” with Richard Madden and Stanley Tucci and the rom-com “It’s All Coming Back To Me” with Sam Heughan (”Outlander”) and Celine Dion, set for a 2023 release.
