Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas shocked fans by announcing they had welcomed a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 via surrogate

The couple announced on January 21, 2022, that they have welcomed a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 via surrogacy.

“We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 via surrogate,” Nick, 29, wrote in an Instagram post.

“We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family.”

TMZ later reported that the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 Saturday in a Southern California hospital. The outlet confirmed they welcomed a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl, though a name has not yet been revealed.

Priyanka, 39, posted the very same announcement on her page – but kept their bundle of joy under wraps until now.

However, the couple – who tied the knot in 2018 after less than a year of dating – dropped major clues all along.

In May 2021, the family-oriented star shared a photo posing with her mom to celebrate Mother’s Day.

The caption read: “Today we celebrate motherhood. The beginning of all life.”

More recently, this month, she shared a batch of sweet photos with Nick with a similar caption:

“So grateful for family and friends. Here’s to celebrating life. #2022”

The model and author also shared scuba-diving photos from a trip in October 2021 that once again saw her embrace the beauty of life in her caption.

“There are days when the stress just needs to be silenced! What better way to do that than to explore the glorious underwater creations of God,” she wrote.

The Hindu now-mother-of-one’s Instagram bio is another potential clue, as it reads, “There is a first time for everything” along with a kissing emoji.
