A year after their blow-out wedding, Priyanka Chopra-Jonas(!) told Vogue India that having a baby with her new husband was very much something she was planning on. Nick Jonas, too, was looking forward to having a baby with his new wife. The “What a Man Gotta Do” singer told Extra in January 2021 that the two definitely wanted children. ”We’d be blessed with any child, son or daughter or anything,” he said. The star added, “But just knocking on wood that it happens.”
For the first few years of their marriage, no child materialized. In January 2022, Chopra-Jonas told Vanity Fair that the couple was definitely still thinking about expanding their family soon. “[Children are] a big part of our desire for the future,” she confirmed. “By God’s grace, when it happens, it happens.”
As it turns out, it was already in the process of happening! The two revealed on Instagram shortly after the Vanity Fair interview that they had welcomed a child via surrogate. “We respectfully ask for privacy as we focus on our family in this special time,” they wrote in a joint statement posted to both of their accounts. Their famous friends filled the comments with well-wishes, including John Legend, who wrote, “So happy for you both!!!” Ryan Tedder, who produced the Jonas Brothers’ hit “Sucker,” was a bit more effusive, commenting, “Omg HUGE CONGRAAAAAATS WOW WOW WOW.”
