Details about Nick Jonas and Priyank Chopra’s daughter – born on 21st January – have been few and far between…
However, the newborn girl’s birth certificate, which was obtained and shared by TMZ, has revealed that her chosen name is none other than ‘Malti Marie Chopra Jonas’.
'Malti' is considered a popular girls name in the Hindu community. The Sanskrit name has several meanings, including 'small fragrant flower', ‘jasmine flower', and 'moonlight.'
This little blessing came through a planned surrogate on 15th January, just after 8pm, at a hospital in San Diego, California.
Surprisingly the commencement date reveals that Malti Marie was born at just 27 weeks – 12 weeks earlier than her April due date!
Nick and Priyanka had announced the arrival of their baby girl on Instagram.
"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. Thank you so much,” they wrote.
The baby remained in hospital until she was healthy enough to return home with her parents.
Priyanka, born and raised in India, is a practising Hindu, while Nick belongs to the Christian faith.
The Hollywood power couple tied the knot back in 2018 and have been inseparable ever since.
