Earlier this year, the two stars welcomed their first baby, Maiti, via surrogate. On May 18, Jonas appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and spoke of his wife’s first Mother’s Day with their daughter, including buying a citrus tree and learning how to plant it via YouTube. He spoke of how the tree represents “new life and new things growing — and the beauty of citrus trees.” Garnering a laugh from Fallon.
Maiti spent 100 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and Jonas spoke on social media about how he feels about becoming a father and Maiti coming home in time for Mother’s Day. In an Instagram post, the singer wrote, “…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. 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.”
