Los Angeles: Welcoming their daughter home "after 100 plus days in NICU", Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas shared the first photo of their little girl on Mothers' Day.
The new parents emotion was palpable in the photograph shared on Monday. For the first time the world got a glimpse of Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, as she celebrated Mothers' Day with her pappa and mumma after being born in January.
The newborn was seen held gently in a bear hug by the proud and relieved mummy, while her partner, American singing sensation Nick Jonas, held on to both.
The picture shared along with a long note, mentioned how her daughter had been born prematurely, and therefore had to be kept in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) for 100 days under observation. Nick also shared the same photo on his social media with almost the same caption.
“Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mothers and care takers out there, but I want to take a minute to say a special Mother's Day wish to my incredible wife @priyankachopra on her first Mother's Day. Babe, you inspire me in every way, and you are taking to this new role with such ease and steadiness. I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. You are already an incredible mother. Happy Mother's Day. I love you,” read his post.
PeeCee also mentioned who took the adorable photo, in which the couple is seen looking content and in love.
“Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and caretakers in my life and out there. You make it look so easy. Thank you. Also.. there is no one I'd rather do this with than you. Thank you for making me a mama @nickjonas I love you. Ps- thx @divya_jyoti masi for the picture and @akarikalai masi for MMs fit!”
Ranveer Singh, Dia Mirza, Preity Zinta and many others showered love as Priyanka on the very special photo. Fans and friends from the Bollywood industry rushed to the comment section and showered love on their newborn daughter.
Ranveer Singh was amongst the first few people to see the beautiful post. He wrote, “Oh PC!” with heart emoticons.
Newmom Preity said, “So Happy she is finally home babe. Enjoy every bit of parenthood & all the milestones of being a mommy. Big hug n loads of love always”.
Zoya Akhtar, Dia Mirza, and others poured in blessings and love. Anusha Dandekar, who spent sometime with the couple last, congratulated the new parents. She wrote, “Happy Mothers Day Priyanka! She really did get her strength from her Muma! Blessings on Blessings! Love and hugs”.
The celebrity couple welcomed their daughter in January via surrogate. They had not revealed her name, but several media reports suggested that her birth certificate mentioned her name as Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. Their daughter's name is perhaps a tribute to Priyanka and Nick's mothers (Madhu Malti and Denise Marie).
