Priyanka Chopra has finally shared a beautiful picture of her baby girl, after 100 harrowing days in NICU.
The 39-year-old actress and her musician husband Nick Jonas welcomed their daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas to the world via surrogacy in January.
But heartache followed their happy surprise baby news as the former Miss World revealed their baby had spent the first 100 days of her life in NCIU.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday – which was Mother’s Day in the US – Piryanka informed fans about how her daughter came home alongside a sweet snap of her and Nick holding her close.
In a lengthy message, she wrote: “On this Mother’s Day 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.
“After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home.
“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.”
Priyanka went on to thanks the medical staff at the hospital where little Malti had been cared for since her arrival in January.
“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,” she wrote.
With her little girl home to spend their first Mother’s Day together, Priyanka excitedly said: “Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a bada**. Let’s get it MM! Mommy and Daddy love you.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and caretakers in my life and out there. You make it look so easy. Thank you.”
She signed off by thanking her husband Nick, 29, for making her a mother: “Also.. there is no one I’d rather do this with than you. Thank you for making me a mama @nickjonas I love you.”
The couple got married in a three day Hindu-Christian wedding extravaganza in Delhi in 2018, following a whirlwind romance.
They had only begun their relationship a few months before they tied the knot in a ceremony that was also attended by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
And continuing their tradition of surprise announcements, they shocked fans when they announced they had welcomed a daughter via surrogate in January.
