Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas take their daughter in what would be her first public appearance. The couple introduced their little girl to the world while celebrating the unveiling of the Jonas Brothers’ Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
While Nick was honored alongside his brothers, Chopra had Malti Marie perched on her lap. The one-year-old looked adorable in a tan two-piece tweed outfit paired with a white onesie underneath and a bow.

It is the greatest gift. I love being a parent with you, so Malti Marie,” he said. “I can’t wait to come here with you in 15 years and embarrass you in front of your friends.”

“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,” Nick wrote on Instagram, talking about how his newborn daughter, Malti Jonas, spent 100 years in the hospital.
“We are overjoyed that our little girl is finally home, and just want to thank every Doctor, nurse and specialist at Rady Children’s La Jolla and Cedar Sinai, Los Angeles, who were there selflessly every step of the way. Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a badass. Let’s get it M! Mommy and Daddy love you,” he added.
Recently, the actress and producer talked about her marriage to Nick Jonas and motherhood, openly discussing the birth of her premature baby and the joy and difficulties that they’ve faced over the past year.
In an interview with British Vogue, Chopra talked about her daughter’s first months of life. “But now I feel I have a centre, a sense of calm, because every decision ends up being about her,” she said of her baby. “There’s really nothing more satisfying than seeing her face as soon as her eyes open.”
Chopra said she got angry messages from people against baby via surrogacy. “I’ve developed a tough hide when people talk about me,” she said. “But it’s so painful when they talk about my daughter. I’m like, ‘Keep her out of it.’ I know what it felt like to hold her little hands when they were trying to find her veins. So no, she’s not going to be gossip. I’ve been really protective of this chapter of my life with my daughter. Because it’s not about my life only. It’s hers too.”
