It was a special Mother’s Day for Priyanka Chopra. Not only was it her first as a mother, she also celebrated by releasing the first public glimpse of her daughter. In the image posted to Instagram, we see Priyanka Chopra and husband Nick Jonas sharing an intimate moment with their girl, Malti Marie.

Meet Malti Marie – a brave baby indeed!
The precious moment has more to tell than just two parents cradling their baby girl though. In the post, Priyanka shared that Malti Marie has spent over 100 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). While the details are still to be clear, we know this could not have been an easy time for this new family. The beautiful photo was accompanied by a heartfelt caption by Priyanka:
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. 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. ‘
It was 15 weeks ago that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas shared identical posts announcing the birth of their child. The posts read: ‘We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family.’ Since then the busy couple have been quiet about Malti Marie, and we can now understand why.

Sweet messages
Nick Jonas shared the same Mother’s Day image as his wife in celebrating Malti Marie’s delayed homecoming. However he added a little shoutout to Priyanka Chopra at the end, writing in the caption:
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 and 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.’

Priyanka also took a moment to thank her husband and Malti’s dad in her post writing, ‘ …there is no one I’d rather do this with than you. Thank you for making me a mama @nickjonas I love you ❤️’.
The couple will celebrate their 4th wedding anniversary this year, we are sure there will be much to cheers to.
Congratulations to Mom and Dad, here’s to you and your healthy cherub! We can’t wait to see her grow.
